If it is in a book written before 1940 as per lachy's question above - could it be Alex Pritchard from "Why Didn't they Ask Evan's" (he being the one who in fact uttered those words just before he expired)?
I got confused. You are a man who did not want to be an actor, but you did not make it to stage. By stage, do you mean theater, podium, camera or scene?
Not for me. I thought more about a character who studied to be working on stage, but did not have the chance to (was murdered for example). Are you a major character in the book?
It isn't Poirot and we aren't talking about the TV Adaptations, This Man was a Character in a Book but when AC Made it into a Play This Character was replaced by someone else

I will have my go then,
I am a Man who never made it to the stage
Good Luck
You never made it to the stage in the story itself?
OR You never made it to the stage as part of the story, which was not adapted for stage?
No
I am a Man, I don't think he had aspirations to be an Actor though.
It was Published After The War
By stage, do you mean theater, podium, camera or scene?
The Theatre, Think about the Plays and how they Differ from the Book They are adapted from
Are you a major character in the book?
Anyway, there is one more question:
But I am not sure if I will be able to continue anymore. I have not watched any adaptations.
