While I have seen Sam Heughan in television and movies, he never came to mind. However, he is the PERFECT Jamie Fraser. Not only is he a Scot who embodies all the great physical features of Diana's Jamie, but his relative anonymity in North America also makes him intriging. In additon, he can act!! Great choice!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513723741682622927.post-14871878099034791972013-10-26T20:13:19.979-07:002013-10-26T20:13:19.979-07:00Thanks Outlander Bookclub - I think Sam looks grea...Thanks Outlander Bookclub - I think Sam looks greatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513723741682622927.post-54375950040600881332013-10-25T06:53:24.944-07:002013-10-25T06:53:24.944-07:00He looks like a good, little shy boy that is tryin...He looks like a good, little shy boy that is trying to look tough & not really cutting it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513723741682622927.post-24114120456774154822013-10-25T05:44:29.084-07:002013-10-25T05:44:29.084-07:00Is he constipated??????Is he constipated??????Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513723741682622927.post-6146432328228426942013-09-30T05:48:09.357-07:002013-09-30T05:48:09.357-07:00nice picnice picAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400351963488345701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513723741682622927.post-73160709842675115232013-09-18T11:54:46.153-07:002013-09-18T11:54:46.153-07:00I can envision her as Claire more than Sam H. as J...I can envision her as Claire more than Sam H. as Jamie.

Quite a few fans are not happy with the selection of Sam Heughan, some perhaps are less vocal (wink and a smile) and less daring.

You express, quite succinctly, the concerns you have with Heughan portraying 'our fierce and noble Highlander'. Many others feel the same, and you are welcome to voice your opinions here on the OBC blog or on the OBC forum. <br /><br />~LauraOutlander Book Clubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03885905420666661096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513723741682622927.post-54988531892866902512013-09-07T09:59:34.266-07:002013-09-07T09:59:34.266-07:00Yes. And the more I see images of Graham McTavish...Yes. And the more I see images of Graham McTavish, the more convinced (if even needed), he will embody the dichotomous machinations of of Dougal. Maybe dichotomous is the wrong word, as he function to further not only two opposing sides (Colum and Clan MacKenzie siding with the English vs. siding with the Scottish rebels), but on various levels depending on his purposes and needs. He really is one very complex character, possibly even more so than Black Jack Randall. BJR's motivations are quite up-front and ~ dare I say ~ obvious in OL, while Dougal is working every angle to the utmost of his very formidable abilities.<br /><br />Gary Lewis just feels right for the part of Colum, in tandem with McTavish. Seems I should find more to say given his acting resume is impressive, but sometimes you just gotta go with the gut.

He looks more like a runway model with the affected/effeminate raised collar and mussed hair instead of our fierce and noble Highlander. By St. Brides I hope the acting and so-called magic makes up for the pissy looking pouty mouth.
