Outlander star Sam Heughan was  born to play Jamie Fraser according to the executive producer of Starz hit time-travel series. 





In a clip from The Outlander Season 6 Collectors Edition set Blu ray released on September 20 Maril Davis details why Scottish actor Heughan who has played the much loved Highland warrior since the series  inception in 2014 was the only actor for the role.


I remember we were at our offices in Pasadena Davis recalls in the clip.  You are watching tapes and on the first round of casting Sams audition tape came up and we watched it and we all realiaed in that moment that this was our Jamie. And all along we assumed we would never find him. It was like a needle in a haystack. He just popped out right away. He was not anyone that any of us had seen before. We instantly knew he had the charisma he had the charm he had the humour to play Jamie. And then we did a video conference with him and immediately  he just jumped off the screen. Sometimes in this life, there are certain actors out there who were born to play certain parts and Sam Heughan was born to play Jamie Fraser.


Heughan recently has opened up about what he will miss most when Outlander finally comes to an end. He admitted its something he has been thinking a lot about recently with rumours Outlanders seventh  which is set to air in May 2023 could be the last. What will I miss? I will miss the camaraderie the people the routine  he said. The routine is pretty tough pretty full on. But theres something wonderful about it going to work every day  you know you all are going to be fucked but the end. Its hard work its full on but you are all in it together.So I guess that camaraderie and being around people you enjoy being around.
