Scotland, shooting on location for Outlander, what to expect from the rest of the season, and his own bucket list destinations.
@lynetterice. By Lynette Rice. We already know that Sam Heughan is a breakout star on Outlander, an adaptation of Diana Gabaldon's best-selling book series. But there's a lot more to learn – and love! – about the Scottish heartthrob who plays the dashing Jamie Fraser. Here are five things to know: In a new interview with Travel and Leisure, Sam Heughan discusses growing up in Scotland, shooting on location for Outlander, what to expect from the rest of the season, and his own bucket list destinations. Below are a few selections from the interview, which can be read in its entirety here. You’re Scottish. Tell us about home. I was born in southwest Scotland, in a place called Dumfries and Galloway, which is kind of the bit that sticks out—the bit that no one really goes to. It’s a very rural area, but it was a fantastic place to grow up. Scottish actor Sam Heughan has gained cult status for his role as Jamie Fraser in the US television series Outlander, based on the books of Diana Gabaldon, yet at the same time he continues to fly largely under the radar in his homeland. It's a curious juxtaposition but one which Heughan seems fairly relaxed about. You may be noticing a change of title in naming Sam Heughan as “TV Performer of (a Previous) Week.” Basically, I deeply regretted missing the opportunity to praise Heughan specifically for his turn in the Outlander Season 1 finale, “ To Ransom a Man’s Soul ,” which he very much deserves.
