In a post on Diana Gabaldon’s facebook page, Sam Heughan wrote a letter of thanks to Diana and reassures the fans about the potential for the screen adaptation of ‘Outlander’ by Starz. I don’t think even Sam as Jamie can convince me to try haggis, but I’d interested to see him try 🙂
“Firstly, a big thanks to Diana for giving us these wonderful books! Utterly thrilled to have been given this opportunity to play “Jamie”. He’s a fantastic character that has so many apparent and hidden sides to him, a true gift of a part. I can’t wait to explore Diana’s world and share it with you guys! His love of Claire is inspiring and as deep as the land he comes from. My personal romance with Scotland is something I can’t wait for you to all experience too..! (Including the haggis)Thanks to all the great support from you fans already, I know we won’t let you down. With Diana’s books to guide us and Ron Moore at the helm, Outlander is going to be one hell of an adventure! Slainte mhath!x”
