He's played Jamie Fraser since the show aired back in 2014, and now a producer of the hit show Outlander has said that Sam Heughan was "born to play the role". In a clip from the Outlander : Season 6 Collector's Edition, Maril Davis opened up about the cast and how Scots star was the only man for the job when the casting process was in full swing.
She said: "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 realised in that moment that this was our Jamie.
Maril said that the casting crew didn't think they would find 'their Jamie' but were delighted when Sam ticked all the boxes. She added: "And all along we assumed we'd never find him. It was like a needle in a haystack... he just popped out right away!"
