Gerrit

Gerrit is a non-canonical character created for the 1995 ITV adaptation of Hercule Poirot's Christmas. He was the business partner of Simeon Lee in South Africa and is only seen in a flashback to 40 years before the main events of the plot. After they discovered a source of diamonds, Simeon murdered Gerrit so that he would be the only one to have a stake in the claim. Gerrit is portrayed by Oscar Pearce.

Gerrit may or may not be the same person as Ebenezer Farr in the original novel. Farr was also a business partner from South Africa but it appears he went on to have a son, Stephen Farr.
