Top left is Bruno Cremer - great French series.
then from the 1960's Rupert Davies

Cremer was good, but the iconic one is Jean Richard. But curious to see Rowan Atkinson in the role...
I read on wikipedia that Simenon did not like Jean Richard, he did prefer Ruper Davies and as Madame Maigret it was Sato Tomomi (Japanese Maigret series), who earned the praises of Simenon himself: "The best 'Madame Maigret' in my opinion, even including the French ones, was the 'Madame Maigret' on Japanese television. She was exactly right". (from Wikipedia)
I'm going to search for Rowan Atkinson as Maigret, I have no doubt he might be good (confirmed by rich2005)
