How Jamie Fraser and Sam Heughan Have Grown Together on "Outlander"

#SamHeughan looks back at the most rewarding and challenging moments of bringing #JamieFraser to life and promises the biggest finale of #Outlander yet.

[@wilmer4258]

This man is an incredible actor and human being. Love him for all his hard work in bringing Jamie Fraser to life.

[@sidgardener2736]

If they're really just acting, Sam & Caitriona DO deserve Emmys. No one does it better. Heaven on earth.

[@carriegaines2632]

Finally an interviewer who’s very enthusiastic about the actor’s craft. They are at ease just having a conversation.

[@pabbathi22]

Totally agree bb, I have seen his interviews with Jimmy Fallon and James Corden where they try to show off their interview skills than making Sam to feel at ease.

[@brittaneysmith1946]

I love watching an interviewer that knows what he is doing and can actually do his job well

[@cindyjones4879]

Sam is Jamie! I'm surprised he hasn't won the Emmy! Very good acting!

[@cecilyerker]

I really like him as a person and as a character, he’s a calming presence

[@maelenamckenzie5151]

He is unbelievable humble, AMAZINGLY TALENTED ACTOR ‼️‼️. If Only STARZ NEWORK would invest on promoting him with the main awards entities as they do his co-star...because his just as talented as Cait. Love them both...& appreciate theirs brilliant performance, their physical and iner beautiful selfs. OUTLANDER would not be as successful as it is with out neither one of them. 🤔👍😍

[@debbiederosa7250]

He's also super HOT & plays such a cool guy !!! Perfect for the part. He's played in Hallmark movies before this. Maybe more we haven't seen yet.

[@magosiag.1592]

Oh my! I have just discovered Outlander. I am now in love with the characters played by Sam and Cait. Sam's 'Jamie Fraser' is for me now the perfect man. I was really touche to watch the emotions he showed. And now hearing some interviews with him i can see how humble person he is. He has so much kindness in himself. His played so well. I have become a huge fan of his talent now. I hope he gets more known in the world now and receives good roles.

Great interview. The interviewer got Sam comfortable enough to open up and “spill” more. I am so happy that he is branching out into more film works in between Outlander seasons, Sam is a real joy to watch.

[@carolgurlen8600]

Sam and Cat are fantastic!! All the actors work so well together, like a great family. Thank you so much. I appreciate you and your story line. I’m Scotch-Irish from a large family. I grew up in the hills of Oregon. A most wonderful place to live. God has been So Good to me.

[@barbarascott3571]

Seriously? Sam is waiting for fans to say, "Look, he ain't good enough". Let's get someone else." Oh, Sam, you are so humble -- and absolutely delusional! There is not another man on the face of the Earth who could play Jamie Fraser with more passion and phenomenality (I just made up that word). I am continually amazed at how you "become" Jamie. What a talented and creative actor you are! I think I can safely say the world has discovered and fallen in love with you. Stay YOU, Sam Roland Heughan.

[@kimsmith4634]

This interviewer is up there with Strombo. Very engaging, very interested in his guests. He genuinely cares. And Sam is the most underrated actor in the world.

He is fantastic! Intelligent, good looking, nice person, great actor, etc the whole package. He is not alone on that, his co stars are the same. There is a reason why the show is a success.

Excellent Job by Tim Kash. Right questions with right pace and i can see how Sam is at ease. I have watched so many interviews of Sam with famous show presenters but this is the best interview of Sam aka Jamie.

[@soledadrojashenriquez4888]

There is something about this man that gives me peace and i can't deny it, that makes me love to study his facial expressions. He is very handsome and of course I only wish him success during his career.

@@maryjordan6703 Yes God made Sam and he gave him special abilities . It is Sam that brought those special gifts to shine by hard work, discipline, never giving up and putting his heart and soul to his artcraft . He has free choice and he chose to stay on the humble path despite all the temptations the film industry brings.

[@tinamarieschaffer-sick4456]

Sam Heughan is such a wonderful actor. I can see all emotions through his eyes and non verbal cues. I am moved easily when there is incredible chemistry between characters. It is amazing how well he and Caitriona Balfe relate and make it so believable. I'm sad to say that I never read the books by Diana G. but the TV version is incredible. I've been pulled towards Scotland since I was little and this show gives me so much. I am still moved by season 1 and all that Jamie had gone through - speaks volumes to Sam's acting. Praying for another 10 seasons - a girl can dream. PS. Season 5 finale was so heartbreaking - but loved the line “She’s bound by an oath, It is myself that kills for her.”

[@annemarie8483]

Sam, you deserve an Emmy. You've got quite the range of skills.

[@mcbhaspela]

I didn’t know Sam could express himself so well. His conversation with this media personality was so relaxed and so well thought of. His answers were spot on. Well, what can I say? I’m a fan.

[@jillbrown3354]

Hes got so much charisma and sincere presence. Best interview I've seen in a while. Sam you are a fantastic actor and human being. Just sitting here and listening to your answers , no wonder your fan base is huge. Good job.

What a good interview. I'd like to see all of the actors interviewed by him - good probing questions, not just froth and bubble.

[@ambernunn7328]

So positive, supportive, caring for the entire process of filming, yet realistic and able to laugh at himself. Great interview.

[@DgtlDiva]

The best interview with him yet -- wonderful to hear the well thought out intelligent questions with excellent subject matter / I keep having to remind myself his name is Sam because he is so fully immersed in his role as Jamie Fraser -- wonderful actor and person!

[@tariherron6509]

Great interview!! Well done!! Sam is always very calm, interesting and intelligent man who loves his character and is more, much more than his good looking self!! He is a graduate of Scotland’s prestige School of Drama, therefore, stage trained and is a consummate complete actor!! Sam uses every part of himself sometimes giving truly incredible performances without ever speaking a word! In S3 when he had to leave Willie behind was exquisitely done!! He has scenes in each Season that he deserved an Emmy &/or Golden Globe and hasn’t ever even been nominated!! What’s with that? Cait has been nominated, and deservedly so, 4 times in the past 4 Seasons!! Love Outlander series novels by Diana Gabaldon that Outlander the series are adapted from by Showrunner Ron D Moore! They have fabulous Wrirers,, Producers, Directors and Set Design and Costume Design!! They all deserve Emmys and Golden Globes as well!! Thanks again for great interview!! Blessings!📚📚📚🎥🎞🎬📺

My notions exactly. I sometimes look at a scene and think: U say it best when U say nothing at all. Love him just after Culloden. A great talent!

I am patiently awaiting new shows every Sunday... cannot wait to see how the story lines play out... also reading the books, but not ahead, so I’m season blind... and truly, Sam and Caitriona are absolutely perfect as Jamie and Claire! ❤️❤️❤️

I'm a longtime fan (since the first book came out.) I'll never forget the first episode, when we first see Sam. I gasped and cried 'THAT'S JAMIE.' So yeah, he'll do. It took me a few episodes to appreciate Cait. I'm still working on Sophie.

II really think his study of acting is something we don't usually see on screen. He shows a great range in his craft, I can't wait to see more of it. Do you ever get so wrapped up in a character that you have to convince yourself it's okay, he's not really dead, he is actually living somewhere on this planet?? That's how I feel watching him.

[@amperage8032]

He really is incredibly talented. He has developed his craft well. His timing, body language, speech, rate of speech, voice inflection, body positioning, facial expressions, eye contact, and more is all superb. I haven’t seen many actors with his level of skill. He is so believable. I have been impressed with him as a person also. Clearly he is intelligent and his personality is endearing. He’s funny, kind, introspective, and most importantly, a genuine person. I wish him much happiness.

Having gotten past the season finale, this interview is very good! It's nice to have something for our quarantine ("stay-at-home") time. Sam H. is the only actor who could fill the shoes of Jamie on the show "Outlander". What I enjoy is the way real history has been woven into the story - because my own family history and the story of America is one that Scotsmen have played an important part in the settlement of the continent! I can't wait to see how the story develops in the coming season! Great interview - Keep it up - Looking forward to more! Thanks, too, for alerting us to the new movie, and the new character, "Jimmy Dalton" for the new movie, "Bloodshot". I really am a fan of Sam Heughan, and all of the cast of Outlander. I wish Sam, and I wish them all, the very best for the future!
