Outlander Series
So I just finished reading A Breath of Snow and Ashes by Diana Gabaldon, and as she hasn’t completed the next book in the series, and I haven’t started reading her Lord John series, I am pondering actors for the characters. Mind you, I don’t really want the books turned into a mini-series or a movie series, but when I’m reading, I tend to put people I know in the roles.
So, for the role of Claire, to date has been my sister because she is a doctor. All well and good, but other than that she doesn’t fit the role. As for looks, to a certain extent my manager Macayla fits the description. Her hair is not as wavy as Claire’s seems to be, and I don’t think Claire has the Native American look Macayla’s features have, but the EYES must be a perfect match for color.
The role of Roger to this point has been my brother in law. Because of the general dark hair coloring and the singing and guitar abilities he possesses. But for some reason, as I was watching David Tennant (of Doctor Who, Harry Potter fame) earlier, I was thinking he might be a good fit. I just think he needs to put on a bit of weight beforehand, but a pretty good fit none the less.
I have not really thought much of the other characters… Jamie is just an entity to himself. I haven’t seen anyone who could pull of that character. Brianna, occasionally myself, only for the motherhood and the being good with her hands. I’m not as engineering blessed as she is, but I could hold my own if needed. But I don’t know who might play her.
Raymond, the froggy guy from France who deals in the occult and is possibly the same person who talks the kids from the 60′s into “travelling” could maybe be the guy who plays Peter Pettigrew from Harry Potter, Timothy Spall, or maybe Wallace Shawn of The Princess Bride.
As for the other characters, Lord John, Frank Randall/Black Jack Randall, and the others, I need to think some more. Glad I don’t work in casting!!! (as I’m sure are the actors 
)
