How many times have you heard this: “Gerard Butler would be the perfect Jamie!” Or: “Gerard Butler could never play Jamie because he’s too old.” Or my favorite: “No one could ever portray the characters as well as I imagine them.”
Well, that all may be true, but I think it’s fun to find out how other fans envision the characters while they’re reading about them. Here’s a glimpse inside my head, how I picture our beloved characters inside the Outlander Universe… KEEP IN MIND I’m only talking about physical appearance, NOT current age-appropriateness, acting ability or personality…
When I think of Jamie I think TALL, a head taller than other men, powerful physique, blue eyes slanted like a cat & high cheekbones. Add some red hair, a little length & “Chris Hemsworth” fits that bill for me! (photo/exposay.com)
Slap a kilt on him & call me Sassenach! (photo/handsomemasculinemen.com)
When I think of Dougal Mackenzie, I think commanding presence. Doesn’t “Gerard Butler” look like Dougal Mackenzie, War Chieftain in this pic? (photo/flaminghorses.blogspot.com)
Now, in my opinion this is the face of the evil, sadistic Captain Jack Randall. “Jason Isaacs” plays such a good a-hole… (photo/aarkangel.wordpress.com)
