Anthony Ainley ( 20 August 1932 - 3 May 2004 ) was an English Actor best known for his work on television and particularly for his role as The Master in '' Doctor Who ''. He was the first actor to play the Master as a recurring role since the death of Roger Delgado eight years earlier. He was born in London , England , the son of the actor Henry Ainley . His half-brother, Richard Ainley , was also an actor. Ainley's swarthy appearance tended to get him parts as villains. Other notable roles include Dietz in the 1975 film version of '' The Land That Time Forgot '', Fallowfield in the Tigon film '' Blood On Satan's Claw '', Rev. Emilius in the BBC 's adaptation of '' The Pallisers '', Henry Sidney in '' Elizabeth R '', Clive Hawksworth in '' Spyder's Web '', and Sunley in '' The Avengers '' episode "Noon Doomsday". Reportedly, it was his performance as Rev. Emilius that led to him being offered the role of the Master by John Nathan-Turner , who had worked on ''The Pallisers'' before becoming producer of ''Doctor Who''. EXTERNAL LINKS
