I am a dork and I have an unhealthy obsession with Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander. Here’s why:
I know I’m missing characters, but if I actually took the time to cast ALL the characters, I would really have no life. The man hours hunting down pictures for this collage is a badge of my nerdy ways. Plus, the other day at work, I was thinking about buying a pocket protector and no, I am NOT kidding. I thought about fashioning one out of a plastic pencil pouch and had to slap myself.
Outlander is my brand of Star Trek. If there was a convention, I would drape myself in head to toe tartan and be the first in line. Wait, I’ve already crashed the local Scottish Fair. I was the only Asian there. Nobody looked like Jamie. I was sad and wept tears of sad out of my slanty eyes. This sounds like a Haiku. The end.
UPDATE: In which I embiggen the images to save you eye strain.
its good to know that you’re not the only unhealthy obsessed Outlander fan out there. I don’t know where I’d be if Jamie Fraser hadn’t come into my life. Do you ever make your own playlist of music for the books? Look up the Jail Break song from the “Tuck Everlasting” sound track and tell me you dont see that red heided de il’ of a Scot running through the heather in his kilt…excuse me while I go pine after a fictional character…

I know next to nothing about Outlander. But I always enjoy your collages!

Awesome collages, and awesome character selections. I have read Outlander over and over, and intend to read them all again before I crack open An Echo in the Bone. I made sure to get a signed copy of Outlander hardcover for my book shelf from Poisened Pen Press, you can even have them personalized.

Oh so many hot and sexy men. I approve of your Stephen Bonnet, whoever the hell he is.

Not bad!! I don’t know who your “Claire” is, but switch it out to Rachel McAdams and I’ll be happy. I don’t see Steven Bonnet as a pretty boy, should be a little rougher looking. Love your choice for Colum.

Now see, I’ve been able to avoid this books, just because the sheer length of so many books has put me off. But if the characters in the book inspired you to think of some of these actors, I may just have to pick it up because I love me some of the guys!

Black Jack Randell is BANG ON. I dont necessarily agree with Claire and Jamie (however I think Gerald Butler would make a great Jamie for the last two novels – echo in the bone and snow and ashes)
That fergus would be good when he is an adult but we still have to find a preteen Fergus and an older Ian.
Geillis is a great choice too!

Very great ideas! As for Claire, I think I’ve been envisioning Rachel Weisz. Quite honestly though, I don’t know if any actor could fill Jamie Fraser’s shoes, but you’re on the right track! I too am glad I’m not the only obsessed Outlander fan, it’s so awesome, nothing else compares to it!

I’m so geeked out right now. LOL Love your choices! Makes me want to make my own poster of Outlander people so I can sigh at it.

Love your selections!
I have one request: can we cast Rupert Friend in as someone? http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3440349952/nm1670029
My first thought was Frank/Jack Randall since he’s got the face that could go either sweet or mean. But Maybe he’s more John Grey? I dunno, but he’s hot and men in the series are Hot so I want him.
