Showtime’s new television series called Master of Sex, is a one-hour drama starring Emmy and BAFTA Award nominee Michael Sheen and acclaimed actress Lizzy Caplan, who will portray the real-life pioneers of the science of human sexuality, William Masters and Virginia Johnson.
The team of Masters and Johnson began investigating human sexual responses in 1957 at Washington University in St. Louis. Their research touched off a sexual revolution and took them from a Midwestern teaching hospital in St Louis, to the cover of Time magazine and nearly a dozen appearances on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show.
