🌹18 Beautiful Outlander Actors and Actresses:🌹 Season 1 to Season 8: Here's What They Are Doing Now?
Step back into the windswept Scottish Highlands of 2014, where Diana Gabaldon's beloved Outlander first came to life on screen and swept millions through the standing stones into a love story that has never quite let them go. More than a decade on, the cast who brought Castle Leoch, Lallybroch, Fraser's Ridge and the bloody fields of Culloden to life remain etched into the hearts of period drama lovers around the world.
Sam Heughan's Jamie Fraser, the flame-haired Highlander he won only after Game of Thrones turned him away seven times, on his way to founding his own Sassenach whisky label. Caitríona Balfe's time-torn Claire, a former Prada and Chanel model who traded the runway for an Oscar-nominated turn in Belfast. Tobias Menzies, who gave us both the gentle Frank and the chilling Black Jack Randall, before stepping into Buckingham Palace as Prince Philip in The Crown. Maria Doyle Kennedy's formidable Jocasta, who once reigned as Catherine of Aragon in The Tudors and tours the world as one of Ireland's most beloved musicians.
Graham McTavish's fierce Dougal MacKenzie, unforgettable too as Dwalin across all three Hobbit films. Laura Donnelly's loyal Jenny Murray, an Olivier Award winner who went on to lead HBO's The Nevers. Sophie Skelton's spirited Brianna, a competitive dancer from the age of three. Richard Rankin's steadfast Roger, who abandoned an IT degree to chase the stage and now leads ITV's Rebus.
Lotte Verbeek's bewitching Geillis Duncan, the Dutch actress who once played the ravishing Giulia Farnese in The Borgias. Caitlin O'Ryan's gentle Lizzie Wemyss, who made her television debut in the role. Gary Lewis's iron-willed Colum, the unforgettable father of Billy Elliot who also appeared in Scorsese's Gangs of New York. César Domboy's devoted Fergus, who learned English with a French accent especially for the part.
Lauren Lyle's fierce Marsali, now the award-winning lead of crime thriller Karen Pirie. Duncan Lacroix's beloved Murtagh, whose death sparked more fan petitions than any storyline in the show's history. Nell Hudson's heartbroken Laoghaire, straight out of LAMDA. John Bell's brave Young Ian, just eighteen when he was cast. David Berry's honourable Lord John Grey, all but unknown outside Australia before Outlander made him a worldwide favourite. And Annette Badland's warm-hearted Mrs Fitzgibbons, the housekeeper who first welcomed Claire, and who fans still hope to see return.
Some are still beloved screen presences, some have stepped quietly away, and some characters we loved were lost along the way. Join us for a tender then-and-now journey through the cast of one of television's most cherished sagas.
