David Suchet : (2) " I became fascinated by the fact that people write to give away rather than write to be read. It’s the difference between playwrights and novelists. " - David Suchet " When I was 16, I played Macbeth at school and my English teacher said, ‘I think you may have acting talent. Try to get into the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain and see where you get.’ I wouldn’t have thought of that at all. I wanted to be a surgeon, but I wasn’t a clever man. " - David Suchet
