Outlander Producer REVEALS Why She Picked Sam Heughan As Jamie..

Outlander Producer REVEALS Why She Picked Sam Heughan As Jamie..

Welcome back to Scene Spotlight. Anyone who purchased Outlander‘s Season 6 home entertainment collection in September knows that there is a special clip about Sam Heughan as part of the bonus footage. His audition tape for the role of Jamie Fraser is included in the DVD extras — and it’s immediately clear he was born to play the character.

Wearing a gray T-shirt with a couple of buttons unbuttoned at the top, Heughan stood in front of a blue background. His charming smile and boyish good looks were on display the moment he appeared on camera. Executive producer Maril Davis recalled what that moment was like in an exclusive clip shared with Entertainment Tonight. “I remember we were at our offices in Pasadena. You’re watching tapes and on the first round of casting, Sam’s audition tape came up and we watched it, and we all realized at that moment that this was our Jamie,” she said. “And all along we assumed we’d never find him. It was like a needle in a haystack. He just popped out right away.”

OUTLANDER: Season 3 Blu-ray SPECIAL FEATURES CLIP "Sam and Caitriona Screen Test"

Sam’s Audio Book “Waypoints” is an extraordinary in-depth reflection of his somewhat tumultuous life striving to reach recognition as a major actor, while at the same time determined to achieve his goal of walking ‘The West Highland Way’ and finally climbing the ‘Devils Staircase’ which proved more difficult than he anticipated almost giving up more than once! but he has an inner determination to succeed! his story of a struggling young actor and numerous disappointing rejections must have been soul destroying…..I was amazed at what a great mimic he is of the characters he meets on his travels…..a true thespian! Well he has reached his ultimate goal…..a lead roll in a fantastic mythical love story written by Diana Gabaldon…..the start of something special between two phenomenal actors Sam Heughan & Caitriona Balfe, who play the adorable characters of Jamie & Claire Fraser, who’s story is about to continue to its ultimate end! from a delighted listener of Sam’s autobiography ‘Waypoints’ a Sassenach in the U.K. 🤗

He is an excellent actor and seems to be a wonderful man. I've just started to read Waypoints. Thank you Sam to be as you are. I wish you a beautiful carreer 💞

Couldn't think of a more perfect Jamie Fraser than Sam!

I always seen Sam as Jamie, from the first time I seen him in the first episode!!!

Major geographical blunder at 5.50 - The West Highland Way starts near Sam's house in Milngavie which is in the north west outskirts of Glasgow. Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK, is not at the beginning but the end of The West Highland Way and overlooks Fort William (An Gearasdan Dubh - the Black Garrison in Gaelic) 93 miles from Milngavie (pronounced Mul-guy by the way!) 😉

Ben Nevis ISN’T where his house is, that is near to Glasgow. The walk ended at Ben Nevis. Please get your info correct.

Yo siempre he pensado que los papeles protagonicos en algo mucho, o poco se parecen o tienen cosas afines con el actor;quiza nuestro Sam tiene mucho de Jamie por ello lo encarna tan maravillosamente exagerando un poco, lo mismo que Caitriona( ahhhh no le quiero robar ni un solo credito a mi amado Sam❤)

Yes, something beautiful about going to work each day... they call it getting a paycheck! I presume that is what will be missed. 🙃

I like him better with hair. I loved those red curls, even though Mr. Heughan's hair is neither red, nor curly. 😒
Dirty, dirty blond (light brown if you're honest) and pencil-straight is still better than scalped. The short hair makes him look older.

Sam mírala con más disimulo a tu hija briana

Why don’t you let us hear what he’s saying, instead of talking over him? It’s very annoying!
