The Master is a recurring character in the British science fiction
television series Doctor Who and its associated spin-off works. The
character is a renegade alien Time Lord and the archenemy of the title
character the Doctor.The Master has been played by multiple actors
since the character's introduction in 1971. Within the show, this is
varyingly explained as the Master taking possession of other
characters' bodies, or as a consequence of regeneration, a biological
attribute allowing Time Lords to survive fatal injuries.The role was
originated by Roger Delgado in 1971, who portrayed the Master until
his death in 1973. From 1976 until the show's cancellation in 1989,
the Master was portrayed by a succession of actors: Peter Pratt,
Geoffrey Beevers and Anthony Ainley. Eric Roberts took on the role for
the 1996 Doctor Who TV film. Since the show's revival in 2005, the
Master has been portrayed by Derek Jacobi, John Simm, Michelle Gomez,
and Sacha Dhawan. Gomez portrayed the first female incarnation of the
Master, known as Missy. The Master returned in 2020 in the two-part
episode "Spyfall", portrayed by Dhawan, who is the youngest main actor
to ever play the role. The Master (Doctor Who) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
