Fan Casting Hercule Poirot in Literature

Hardly more than five feet four inches but carried himself with great dignity. His head was exactly the shape of an egg, and he always perched it a little on one side. His moustache was very stiff and military, upward-curled under a pink-tipped nose. The neatness of his attire was almost incredible. In the later books, his limp is not mentioned, suggesting it may have been a temporary wartime injury. Green eyes that are repeatedly described as shining "like a cat's" when he is struck by a clever idea, and dark hair, which he dyes later in life. In Curtain, he admits to Hastings that he wears a wig and a false moustache. However, in many of his screen incarnations, he is bald or balding.
