A STARZ Original Series From Executive Producer Ronald D. Moore: Outlander

[Tobus]

I do have to say, though, that casting Tobias Menzies as Black Jack Randall was a good choice. He is pretty close to what I pictured him as, and I think he (as an actor) has the capability to play the evil part pretty well.

But it's funny, as I was reading the books, the guy I pictured in my mind as Jack Randall was really the actor Jason Isaacs. He played such a good "bad guy" British officer in The Patriot that it just stuck in my mind, and every description in the book of Randall reminded me of him. However, I think Tobias Menzies comes a close second to being perfect for the role.

The woman they chose to play Geillis, though, isn't at all what I had in mind.

*edited to add: Oh, and by the way, I added Starz to my satellite package just for this series, so it had better be worth it!
