SAINT WHO 4 - "DOCTOR WHO" ACTORS WHO APPEARED IN "THE SAINT"

One of the greatest participants in creating the legend of ‘Doctor Who’ was Roger Delgado, who played the Master in his last incarnation of the original cycle of regenerations.  He was the epitome of sophisticated, venomous evil, and was an excellent fencing partner – both physically as well as verbally - to match Jon Pertwee as the third incarnation of the Doctor.

In 1962, Delgado played a hotel manager in ‘The Saint’ episode “The Golden Journey” and had a more involved role as Captain Rodriguez in 1966’s episode “Locate and Destroy”.

According to the IMDb: “He was the first actor to play the Master, the Doctor's greatest individual enemy, in ‘Doctor Who’ (1963). He played the role from the 1971 serial "Terror of the Autons" to the 1973 serial "Frontier in Space". He was succeeded in the role by Peter Pratt, Geoffrey Beevers, Anthony Ainley, Gordon Tipple, Eric Roberts, Derek Jacobi, John Simm, Michelle Gomez and Sacha Dhawan.

The character of the Master in ‘Doctor Who’ (1963) was specifically created for him by producer Barry Letts, who had worked with him when he had been an actor himself. No other actor had even been considered for it.”

Sadly, he died in a road accident near Nevashir, Turkey, in 1973.
