Biography

Anthony Ainley was a prominent British actor from a renowned acting family. His brother was Richard Ainley (1910-1967), and his father was Henry Ainley (1879-1945). After many years in theatre, he transitioned to roles in historical film dramas during the 1970s. He is best known for portraying the Master in the long-running science fiction series Doctor Who (1963). Ainley first took on the role in 1981 and continued to appear annually until 1986. He returned once more in 1989 for the final Doctor Who serial, "Survival." He retired from professional acting in the late 1990s and continued playing cricket until his death in May 2004.
