Robin Masters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robin Masters was a fictional character on the American television series Magnum, P.I. He was the alleged celebrity author/multi-millionaire owner of Robin's Nest, the estate mansion where Magnum and Higgins resided, and was the owner of the Ferrari that Magnum drove. Much like the character of Charlie in Charlie's Angels, Robin Masters remained an unseen character.

One episode of the series described Masters as such: the voice of Orson Welles, and the body of Truman Capote. Welles was called on several times to "portray" the voice of Robin Masters.

There is much speculation as to the exact identity of Robin Masters. Near the end of the series, it was implied that Higgins and Robin Masters might be the same person. If Higgins was actually the "real" Robin Masters, his identity was kept secret from Magnum. Before the series was canceled, executive producer Noah Uzal was reputed to have been scheduled to portray Masters in the final episode. Instead, in the final episode, Higgins admits to being Robin Masters, but at the very end of the episode, he whimsically tells Magnum that he had lied about being Robin Masters, leaving viewers to wonder which version was the truth. Since the writers of the show never revealed Masters' "true identity" to the audience, it will most likely never actually be known.
