Outlander Fans - Jamie has been cast

[CurlyQ284]

Meet the new Jamie Fraser! I haven't seen anything Sam Heughan has done, hopefully he does a good job. I see hair dye in his future though.

hmm. he's super cute, but he's gonna need to bulk up. and definitely hair dye. ain't no way anyone will accept a jamie fraser without that red hair.

Yep, hopefully he is headed to the gym right now lol. I can't wait to see who they pick for Claire now.

Huh. I feel like his nose is a little small for his face. But he'll do.

Have they cast anyone else? When does this start? Off to google.

[wannabe]

this is seriously making me want to reread the entire series. not to mention, the next book isn't even out until freaking march.

i need a jamie fraser fix, dang it.

They start filming in the fall, it will air next year on Starz.

He'll do :-) I'm really interested to see who they cast for the other characters. I have such strong pictures of them in my mind so I wonder if they are going to live up to my expectations.

I have no trouble seeing him as Jamie (with red hair and a little more bulk, of course) but I refuse to get too excited about the series until I see their Claire.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

He actually did dye his hair red when a bunch of fans of her FB page (https://www.facebook.com/#!/AuthorDianaGabaldon?hc_location=stream) complained that he didn't have red hair, and it looks good.

And I think he's muscled enough, Jaime, especially early in the series when he was younger, was described as being more lean than bulky.

I hate when book fans complain about small things like this. They aren't going to toss out a good actor in favor of an idiot who can't act over a $5 box of hair dye!

How did I not know this was being made into a series?!? Somehow I picture Jamie a little more rugged and less pretty boy, but I'll buy in.

She looks perfect.

I've seen him in island at war and he was a good actor in that in a pretty big part. He also roughs up well in that show so I'm pretty sure he can pull of the rougher look with a little make up and what have you.

My big thing is he's actually Scottish so his accent is right though not a highlander so not as heavy at least its in the right region. I hate actors trying to do an accent that isn't natural since they normally miss it.

She is perfect, the right age/look/and British she also did a good job in Upstairs Downstairs.
