Hugh Dancy, hands down. Obviouly he would have to change his hair a little, but i think he could pull of the attractive and intensive stare thing.
I cannot see gerard butler as jamie. I was so turned off him after the Ugly Truth, but definately a Colum or Dougal.

naturally we already have conjured up in our minds a vivid image of Jamie. it is what will transpire to the screen from our minds. Not so much a physical image. But yes, Gerald Butler for some reason fits the bill. it is more his personality than his appearance.

Check out Kevin McKidd. He’s been on Grey’s Anatomy lately. I see Jamie potential there. Great eyes, great build, that red hair…

Kevin McKidd as Jamie. He’s handsome and rough at the same time. He’s also really Scottish.

YES!!! Robert Buckley, is damn close to the young Jamie in my head! But is he big enough, though? – Pointless casting someone if they are only 5′11.
He needs to look impressive in stature, as well as looks.
I hope that Mrs Gabaldon sees his name, and looks him up, though.
On a side note – my aunt and I, are going to see Diana Gabaldon in Palmy, November 5th – We are so excited, that we can barely wait!
But we will.

Robert Buckley as Jamie. I saw him on the tube and was immediately struck by how Jamie like he was. as he’s still fairly unknown I had to look hime up and find out who he was gorgeous young man. the more pictures i saw, the more convinced. he has the coloring, build and the beautiful blue eyes…

Gabriel Aubry is Jamie..he has the look. Check him out. He would be great and make the hearts of all us girls melt.

Paul Walker from “Fast and Furious” has all it takes to be Jamie Fraser. He’s 6′3″ and and gorgeous!

Here’s the Internet Movie Database link:

If Diana has said that Gabriel Aubry is the closest thing to what she has in mind Jamie resembles, who are we to quibble, I say. Sure, everyone has a picture in their own mind (of relatively short or too-old guys, it seems).

It would preferably be an unknown actor, a la someone who looks like he belongs in “Lord of the Rings” as a Rohan warrior, a la Aubrey or Karl Urban. Those guys had the look of the guy. Gerard Butler, whom I agree is quite attractive, simply isn’t a Nordic-/Viking-type … and he’s too damn old at this point to play a 22- or 23-year old virgin, sorry. He’d be okay as Dougal, I should think.

In the end, this sort of discussion is entertaining and all, but chances are slim this will be made into a movie/mini-series (options are a dime a dozen; how many options actually wind up in production?). While very popular, Diana’s no John Grisham or Anne Rice in terms of popularity (and, I’m afraid, that seems to be what “does it” for Hollywood in general).
