Daily Mail Showbiz Memoir of the Year 'A beautiful book' Chris
Evans 'Terrifically entertaining' Mail on Sunday 'An arresting
photographic voyage through the life and loves of this enigmatic
English star' S magazine 'Though not a conventional autobiography,
we learn what makes the national treasure tick' Daily Express In
the early days of my career, I didn't think I stood a hope in hell.
Look at me: I'm short, stocky, slightly overweight, deep of voice,
passionate, dark haired, olive skinned, hardly your typical
Englishman. What chance did I have, going into the world of British
theatre? David Suchet has been a stalwart of British stage and
screen for fifty years. From Shakespeare to Oscar Wilde, Freud to
Poirot, Edward Teller to Doctor Who, Harold Pinter to Terence
Rattigan, Questions of Faith to Decline and Fall, right up to
2019's The Price, David has done it all. Throughout this
spectacular career, David has never been without a camera, enabling
him to vividly document his life in photographs. Seamlessly
combining photo and memoir, Behind the Lens is the story of David's
remarkable life, showcasing his wonderfully evocative photographs
and accompanied by his insightful and engaging commentary. In
Behind the Lens, David discusses his London upbringing and love of
the city, his Jewish roots and how they have influenced his career,
the importance of his faith, how he really feels about fame, his
love of photography and music, and his processes as an actor. He
looks back on his fifty-year career, including reflections on how
the industry has changed, his personal highs and lows, and how he
wants to be remembered. And, of course, life after Poirot and why
he's still grieving for the eccentric Belgian detective. An
autobiography with a difference, this is David Suchet as you've
never seen him before - from behind the lens. 'The book offers more
insight into the mind and philosophy of this remarkable man than a
more conventional biographical approach could have achieved'
