The Master

Whilst watching this film I kept thinking that Oscar Isaac looked somehow familiar, but I was certain that I didn't recognise him from any other movie. I finally realised that he bears a striking resemblance to Roger Delgado, who originally played the character of The Master during the Jon Pertwee era of Doctor Who. If they ever recast that character, they could do a lot worse than hiring this guy.

Very much disagree.

Your comment is quite curious. Apart from the "dark" Mediterranean look that both actors have, I would think that there are many other fellows that Isaac could be compared to.

That being said, Isaac could be the Master as Anthony Ainley pulled it off as well. That seems to be a role that an actor could really lean into. However, I would think that would be a little under Isaac's bar at this stage of his career.
