Sam Heughan’s audition - Outlander

"Oh. My. God. That man is a Scot to the bone and Jamie Fraser to the heart. Having seen Sam Heughan not just act, but be Jamie, I feel immensely grateful to the production team for their painstaking attention to the soul of the story and characters.”
Diana Gabaldon July 2013
Happy 10th anniversary being cast as Jamie Fraser Sam! ! And thank you Diana for creating his character! Forever grateful! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

Now that I’ve read Sam’s book (Waypoints) it’s really exciting to know that he got the part after so many difficult years of not having any breakthrough major role or other possibilities (like he wrote in his book). He must’ve jumped in the air when he got the part. I‘m definitely convinced that Sam Heughan was born for this role, he embodies Jamie Fraser completely, there could’ve been no other.❤

[@healgrowlovecommunity8397]

What an incredible audition! I've read all of the books several times but avoided the tv show because I didn't want 'my' Jamie to be spoiled. My husband died at the end of November and I wanted something to get me through Christmas, new year and my birthday so I decided to binge watch Outlander. From his first appearance on screen, Sam was absolutely my Jamie. He is perfect. Thanks to all on Outlander who got me through such heartbreak.

[@joangarrett5364]

I introduced Outlander to my husband. He loved it. He died 4 years ago. How I wish he was still here to continue the story with me, I've read all the books. At 78 I may not read the ending 😢 xx

[@aster6756]

Thank you for sharing this, so sorry for your loss. 💔

[@cyndimcgrath9617]

I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you’ve enjoyed this season and now we patiently wait (Droughtlander) for next season!

[@m.angelicarojas5551]

He's the perfect Jamie and the best show ever, it's sad it will end without Diana's last 10th book❤

[@carolynlowe642]

I, too, am a recent widow. My "Jamie" died of blood cancer, multiple myeloma. We enjoyed watching Outlander together. We loved the fact that Outlander shows a long marriage, a lifetime of devotion. Many of us can relate to this. Another thank you from a heartbroken widow.

[@conniecarter778]

Aside from being jaw droppingly gorgeous, he seems to be a decent, kind and good man. He owns the role of Jamie Fraser. No one else could have come close. Stellar acting and well done Sam!!!

[@deborahcarr4574]

He IS Jamie Frazier. There could be no other !

He was born for the role of Jamie!! I can’t picture anyone else 💗😊

I think it would be super hard doing an audition and just slipping into a character so easily. He does it so easily.

[@user-vm1li2ob6d]

The perfect Jamie, no other. Awesome actor. He can be the NEW Superman, during his audition time.

[@lahicks9773]

He is a good looking man however; his acting mesmerizes me. I feel like i am right in the moment and i can feel what he is going through. Truly a work or art. ❤

[@alias065]

So obvious why they selected him for the role of Jamie. ❤

[@claragonzalez4601]

He immersed himself in the role. Can't be easy to do just sitting there no costume no special ambiance. Amazing acting❤

[@francinejones2524]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@freyjana6778]

My god. About 3 and a half minutes in I realized my brain had tuned out the fact that I was watching Sam's audition; I was just listening to Jamie. 🤗 Amazing.

[@mihaelaboldea9798]

Such luck to have caught him at the right age too. He DID look 23 at the time. And the Scottish accent was perfect, it helped tip the balace in his favour. Lucky strike! 🤗

[@princessoffire1107]

That was like watching the actual episode ❤

[@70sladyalways25]

He was the perfect choice! ❤

[@BiodanzaMalta]

He was born to play that role, but I would go further and say .. the character of Jamie and Sam's portrayal, illustrates a romantic ideal that may now become more possible for men... Many changes in society start with literature/film/book/play/poem..

[@tlandry9689]

One could only hope. Wouldn’t it be nice !?!

[@dianemarcakis4624]

After reading his book about all the years he struggled to make it as actor, it really was the best thing that could have happened to him! It paved the way for him to become a remarkable actor and for him to be the best and only Jamie! So happy for him!❤

[@elenalatici9568]

No wonder you cast him in 5 minutes. He was born to play Jamie. I laughed out loud when he said, "Aye, chickens are very poor company." I've heard the line a hundred times, but still he made me laugh. I'm way beyond disappointed that Outlander is ending with season 8. I'm hoping you'll be consolidating 8, 9, and 10. If we don't find out about Jamie's ghost it would be a huge betrayal. Fans have been speculating since the very first time we saw him standing outside in the rain looking up at Claire brushing her hair. I remember Book 8. There was a lot of wandering around in deserts and maybe swamps. I have 9 on my Audible account, but stopped listening to it, then went back to the first book and am going through the whole series. I won't admit to how many times I've watched, read, and listened. I hope Sam goes on to be brilliant in other films and series. As much as he had great luck in landing Jamie, in some way he will always be Jamie, and that's not necessarily a good thing when going on to playing a new character. I wish the absolute best for him. I think he's been incredibly smart to branch out into his business enterprises. Very smart move.

My husband and I have so enjoyed this series. The acting is amazing. Jamie is a wonderful character. I still laugh at the scene, first season, when he comes through the window, and says “let go of my wife”. Still that shot, and you have a cover of a Harlequin Romance book.😂 There are not many shows that hold both my husband and me.

*Fraser (frazer) not Frazier.

[@L8yMeg314]

For every show I watch in the back of my mind I'll often wonder how an actor got their first big break, what other roles they chose, if they're decent people off camera, or if their phones are in their 18th century coats lol Unfortunately for Sam, I've never been able to separate Jamie from him 😅 even in other roles. I kinda feel guilty for that, but also to me it's proof that some things we're just meant for.
