The Spymaster's transparent disguises and the Master's true self.

In a behind-the-scenes documentary about The Power of the Doctor, "Behind the Regeneration," Sacha Dhawan explains his interpretation of the Master, which I have trascribed for your edification and pleasure. You're welcome.

He says:

We were really intent on making sure that we raise the bar even higher by introducing more characters, more versions of the Master. And it made me think that maybe the audience hadn't quite seen my Master, as it were. And I'm still questioning at the end of the episode -- have you still seen the real him? There's maybe moments where he shows his real self, but kind of getting into that and thinking about that opened up loads of opportunities.

I think one of the things that I was really intent on is that, whatever kind of version of the Master I was playing, I was totally committed to it. So even though there's a similar vein going through all of them, I wanted each one of them to be distinctly different. You know -- he's a master of disguise. And he really embodies those characters, and it was really good fun to play. But in terms of preparation, I did a lot of prep trying to, yeah, make them different and understand each of their intentions, as it were.

But, even saying that, I was also interested in exploring maybe when the mask slips. Then you do see the real him. I can take aspects of what we've done and almost reinvent him again. I think that's one of the things I wanted to do.

And if I ever continue playing the Master, I'm going to continue doing it: constantly taking strands and reinventing them, keeping the audience guessing, keeping them on their toes, keeping them excited. And that's the real joy I get from it, as long as it's truthful.

This is a fascinating mini-essay. Sacha Dhawan's question -- "Have you still seen the real him?" -- seems to serve as a thesis.

The next paragraph, where he talks about the Spymaster's personae, emphasizes an apparent disconnection between the Spymaster's disguises and who he is undisguised. Each persona is "distinctly different." Sacha Dhawan describes "a lot of prep" understanding each persona and "their intentions" in the way that an actor would prepare for several separate and different roles.

But the Spymaster's personae are not separate roles, not as far as the actor is concerned. "There's a similar vein going through all of them," he asserts and then doubles down on his concept of the Spymaster behind the roles: "I was also interested in exploring maybe when the mask slips. Then you do see the real him."

Sacha Dhawan plays the Spymaster as a character of many aspects, roles, and disguises, but he does think that there's a core character, a "real him," beneath or within all the roles. "I can take aspects of what we've done and almost reinvent him again. ...And that's the real joy I get from it, as long as it's truthful," he says. Here the reinvention refers to the variety of forms the Master takes, but it's not a truly free, untethered reinvention, at least not how Sacha Dhawan sees the character. He talks about "tak[ing] aspects of what we've done" or building on his previous performances and the character's past personae. His caveat "as long as it's truthful" points to his belief that the Master does have a true self, and he ensures in his performances that, no matter how diverse the disguises, they reveal, rather than conceal, the Master's core.

This is consonant with my interpretation of the Master as an emotionally transparent individual who is constitutionally incapable of mastering how they feel. They're governed by their emotions [toward the Doctor], which they can never hide. Their disguises always allow their feelings to stream through. The disguises are all see-through. In fact, they reveal some aspect of the Master.

Reasons I love the Spymaster #70: He still likes Yaz!

Find my full series under the HELP I WUVS HIM tag or at the why I love Dhawan Master tag.

#70: He still likes Yaz!

H/T to @themastergifs for these first four gifs.

The Spymaster favors Yaz from their first meeting. Here he is in Spyfall I.

Yaz, proud of herself for having made the steganography connection, looks to the Spymaster [in his guise as O], for confirmation. He smiles and nods, approving of her conclusion and admiring her brains. Furthermore, even though the Spymaster doesn't really do standard eye contact, he makes some with Yaz here. He's really interested in her.

Here they are in Spyfall II.
