The real-life Bill Masters went bald from an early age, while obviously Michael Sheen still has a rather impressive set of locks. It doesn’t make any real difference to the narrative or how he plays him, but Sheen admits he would like to go that extra step in making the show closer to the real story.

Not too many actors are all that keen on changing their appearance, especially when it isn’t completely necessary to the story, but Sheen has stated that not only would he do it, but he wants to do it, and imagines that the show will eventually get to the stage where he’s shorn of his hair. It may make him look more like the character he’s playing, but a bald Michael Sheen would be a rather strange sight to behold.
