Big fan of Richard's, VERY glad he will be our Roger on Outlander.

[TwinMama]

I am so happy he will be Roger Mac on Outlander. The more great looking Scottish men, the merrier. Plus he can act and he sings really beautifully too. Perfect casting. Can't wait.

To be honest, I never heard of him before, but I just read that he was cast as Roger in Outlander. Watched this and I simply loved him instantly! Great casting!

[amberrrrlou]

I want to die listening to a mixed tape of his voice. God damn, I love the Scottish accent.

2 months later, I'm still in love

[kerrycampbell]

He reminds me a tiny bit of James Mcavoy

[staclynn]

He's too cute..oh, and he can actually act.

[pskton]

I normally don't have problems understanding him, but on this one I did, perhaps he was hurrying to much.

[antonellacinefila]

I like "60 Seconds With..." especially when such special actors do it!

[beckyfletcher]

I listened to Lewis Capaldi on SiriusXM yesterday and he talks just like Roger McKenzie. But Richard Rankin sings so much smoother. I would buy anything he sings.

[lauriemelchionne]

Cant wait to see him as Roger in Outlander!

[gracedurham]

Did he say South African for his hardest accent? I laughed so hard at that!!!!

[hurricanekerrie]

I love this guy, for reals. I hope to see him in more quality shows-- he seems to know how to pick 'em...  As an aside, I'm deeply sorry and ashamed to ask but what did he say was the hardest accent for him?

[serine]

Akhhhh i want a ten hours video of Richard Rankin speaking in Scottish accent

[kagurautanoko]

He plays world of warcraft let's gooo

[meredithb]

who did he say he was re-reading? couldn't make it out?

[Bartizzle]

Is that the guy who played some parts in the comedy show burniston?

[kellyg]

What I wouldn't give for the opportunity to hit on Richard Rankin for just five minutes. Even just drunk text him. Sure, it's not the best way to win someone over but damn...……..just any chance to tell him what a hottie he is.

[minuusha]

World of Warcraft? I'm a fan now.
