Eric Roberts
Bruce / The Master
Eric Roberts delivered a deliciously villainous performance as the enigmatic Bruce / The Master in the 1996 television film "Doctor Who." His portrayal of the classic Doctor Who adversary was both chilling and captivating, as he brought a layered complexity to the role. Roberts' Master was a cunning and ruthless Time Lord, whose machinations were as grandiose as they were sinister, perfectly complementing Paul McGann's Eighth Doctor. With a magnetic screen presence, Roberts infused the character with a palpable menace, often with a sly grin or a piercing gaze that suggested depths of malevolence lurking beneath the surface. His performance was a highlight of the film, offering fans a memorable iteration of the Doctor's arch-nemesis, one that balanced the character's trademark megalomania with a touch of charismatic flamboyance. Roberts' Master was both a formidable foe and a testament to the actor's ability to embody and elevate an iconic role within the Doctor Who mythos.
