Hey everyone! It's been a long time since I've been active on here and I wanted to bring up something which has been on my mind for quite a while. Hopefully you may remember the season 2 episode of Inspector Gadget, "Gadget Meets the Clan." A few minutes into the episode, I spotted a few characters who appear familiar. Sitting at the table are three guys. The first is Sherlock Holmes, of course, who isn't hard to spot (older guy in the deerstalker hat), as well as a smaller man with glasses and a moustache- who I assume to be Hercule Poirot (a character by Agatha Christie). Both being famous fictional detectives, it makes sense for them to appear in the show. But I also noticed the third guy sitting with them. I honestly thought this third guy was a reference to the British actor, John Thaw, who played another fictional detective, Inspector Morse. Is it, though? (It would make sense, seeing as he is also an Inspector!..) For one thing, Inspector Morse was a series which only began about a year after Inspector Gadget ended, starring John Thaw. So I really don't see how this could be possible. It could be coincidental, and perhaps it's not meant to be the guy after all. To me though, it's bizarre how much it looks like this actor. I mean, maybe it's a reference to an earlier character Thaw has played? Or perhaps it's not him at all. Either way, I've been beyond curious to know who this guy is meant to be, if anyone. Does anyone have an idea? I'm dying to know if I'm right or wrong. Below I have added the screenshot of the three characters from the mentioned episode, plus a few of John Thaw as Morse for your reference.

I believe the middle man is supposed to be Charlie Chan.
