So that's why he ended up as Eric Roberts in the movie.

Though I really appreciated the villiany of Roger Delgado...he put the Master up there with Ming the Merciless. Anthony Ainley did a great job of taking the character over. He picked it up where Roger delgado left off and added his own touches. If ya wanna have good heroes, ya gotta have good villians.
