I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m a huge fan of the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon… and while I’ve been participating in the mad Tweet-fest over this week’s Outlander news, I haven’t actually shared it here. So — drumroll, please, — for the last few Outlander fans who haven’t heard the news yet, say hello to Sam Heughan, signed this week to play Jamie Fraser in the upcoming Outlander TV series on Starz.

I just couldn’t stand the fact that my old post with a photoshopped Sam keeps getting hits, since we know that Sam’s Jamie doesn’t look at all like this:

So in order to set the record straight, I’m adding in a “real” Jamie pic of Sam, in all his wonderful glory. Enjoy!
There now. I feel much better. (~Lisa @ BSF, 12/26/2014)

I think he’s adorable, and I’ve been following the tweet-fest, and he seems very gracious with his insta-fans. Can’t wait to see him in action! 🙂
Me too! Now I guess we just wait for the Claire announcement. 🙂
I think he is a really good choice. I too can’t wait for their pick for clair
Oh, my giddy aunt!! I really had doubts they could find the right guy to portray Jamie, but my goodness! Going to check out his acting skills, willing to give him a chance ;D
He is rather lovely to look at, isn’t he? I’m definitely willing to see him in action — wish we could get a sneak peek at him as Jamie!
The photoshop is great! As himself though, he reminds me more of Roger MacKenzie Wakefield. Just needs some bright green eyes! Sorry, skipping ahead a book.
LOL, I’ve got several Rogers in my head already…
