Now that I’ve read Sam’s book (Waypoints) it’s really exciting to know that he got the part after so many difficult years of not having any breakthrough major role or other possibilities (like he wrote in his book). He must’ve jumped in the air when he got the part. I‘m definitely convinced that Sam Heughan was born for this role, he embodies Jamie Fraser completely, there could’ve been no other.❤

What an incredible audition! I've read all of the books several times but avoided the tv show because I didn't want 'my' Jamie to be spoiled. My husband died at the end of November and I wanted something to get me through Christmas, new year and my birthday so I decided to binge watch Outlander. From his first appearance on screen, Sam was absolutely my Jamie. He is perfect. Thanks to all on Outlander who got me through such heartbreak.

Aside from being jaw droppingly gorgeous, he seems to be a decent, kind and good man. He owns the role of Jamie Fraser. No one else could have come close. Stellar acting and well done Sam!!!

I always tell my husband, I’m not in love with Sam, I’m in love with Jamie!

I am giving a standing ovation to Sam and casting. He's perfect.

I think it would be super hard doing an audition and just slipping into a character so easily. He does it so easily.

He IS Jamie Frazier. There could be no other !

He was born for the role of Jamie!! I can’t picture anyone else 💗😊

He is a good looking man however; his acting mesmerizes me. I feel like i am right in the moment and i can feel what he is going through. Truly a work or art. ❤

Sam is Jamie's descendant❤

The perfect Jamie, no other. Awesome actor. He can be the NEW Superman, during his audition time.

My god. About 3 and a half minutes in I realized my brain had tuned out the fact that I was watching Sam's audition; I was just listening to Jamie. 🤗 Amazing.

He is perfection!

Such luck to have caught him at the right age too. He DID look 23 at the time. And the Scottish accent was perfect, it helped tip the balace in his favour. Lucky strike! 🤗

So obvious why they selected him for the role of Jamie. ❤

It's like Jamie Fraser time travelled in our time!

He immersed himself in the role. Can't be easy to do just sitting there no costume no special ambiance. Amazing acting❤

Great audition. Sam was born to play Jamie. The role of a lifetime and the show of a lifetime.

Wow you really believe he IS Jamie and he's just telling his story, even in the audition tape. What a great performance as always from Mr Heughan.

I’m a newer fan and I am literally watching EVERYTHING I can find on Outlander on YT 😍😍😍

In season 7 his accent is BACK WHICH I LOVE.

god this is what kept me watching, he is absolutely gorgeous in outlander, my fanny wasnt twitching it was doing polevaults

He was born to play that role, but I would go further and say .. the character of Jamie and Sam's portrayal, illustrates a romantic ideal that may now become more possible for men... Many changes in society start with literature/film/book/play/poem..

Love him dearly. A true gift to art. Good 4 U Sam. Just please stay humble as you are. Don't let fame spoil you.

Always found it uncanny that all the descriptions of him in the book were so like Sam.

i love this clip. I love all seasons of Oulander and Men in knit

That was like watching the actual episode ❤

I love him ❤

Fantastic! How did he remember all this in one go? No cutting or breaks or anything .

Not a hard job , Sam's absolutely brilliant ❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🌠🌠🌠🌠

He looks so young here.

He was the perfect choice! ❤

Thank you for posting this. I can't believe I've never run across this before.

No wonder you cast him in 5 minutes. He was born to play Jamie. I laughed out loud when he said, "Aye, chickens are very poor company." I've heard the line a hundred times, but still he made me laugh. I'm way beyond disappointed that Outlander is ending with season 8. I'm hoping you'll be consolidating 8, 9, and 10. If we don't find out about Jamie's ghost it would be a huge betrayal. Fans have been speculating since the very first time we saw him standing outside in the rain looking up at Claire brushing her hair. I remember Book 8. There was a lot of wandering around in deserts and maybe swamps. I have 9 on my Audible account, but stopped listening to it, then went back to the first book and am going through the whole series. I won't admit to how many times I've watched, read, and listened. I hope Sam goes on to be brilliant in other films and series. As much as he had great luck in landing Jamie, in some way he will always be Jamie, and that's not necessarily a good thing when going on to playing a new character. I wish the absolute best for him. I think he's been incredibly smart to branch out into his business enterprises. Very smart move.

Sam is Jamie niemand in de wereld had die rol kunnen spelen ,perfecte acteur ,hij moet altijd karakter rollen spelen ,en niet in die niks zeggende 3de rangs films daar is ie veel te goed voor ❤❤❤😊

I'm finally seeing this. Brillant!! Guys must have fallen off their chair when they saw the tape. Amazing ❤❤❤

Authentic and captivating. I am mesmerized by his performance through the series...

Сем просто великолепен в роли Джейми Фрейзера. Он смог сделать даже ярче книжного героя. Впервые после прочтения книги я не говорю, что книга лучше фильма. Книга и сериал чудесно дополняют друг друга и все благодаря великолепным актерам и всей сьемочной группе.

My husband and I have so enjoyed this series. The acting is amazing. Jamie is a wonderful character. I still laugh at the scene, first season, when he comes through the window, and says “let go of my wife”. Still that shot, and you have a cover of a Harlequin Romance book.😂 There are not many shows that hold both my husband and me.

Made for this role brilliance

Wow. Amazing audition. What a wonderful find. So many of us are grateful that this role went to Sam

Even in an empty room on a blank blue wall, he IS Jamie. He just takes you there. He’s amazing !! There is no other Jamie.

Born to be jamie. LOFE❤❤❤❤

Absolutely Jamie

Transfixed by his embodiment of Jamie Fraser... no one else could ever be Jamie..

Perfection!!!

Outlander is the best ever. I actually have a Mane Coon cat a red one I’ve named him Sam. It’s the red hair. Your right Sam is perfect for the part as Jamie.

I agree, he was made for the part. Handsome and talented, what more could you ask to fill that part.

Magnifique. Magnifique actor Sam ❤️❤️❤️

An amazing man and actor 🙌🥃

The classic Jamie stare!

Fantastic actor Sam ❤️❤️❤️

Sam Heughan was a natural and perfect fit to play Jamie Frazer..

Sam is gorgeous

He is amazing right from the audition!!

Oh my goodnesssss Jamie ❤

You'd think she'd know it's fra-zer, not Fray-shure. lol.

En effet, il était bien fait pour le rôle.

God ..yes..no one can replace these 2 jamie and claire..

I have a mad crush on him! ❤

❤❤❤❤❤ what an excellent actor 👏 omg amazing 👏 👏 👏 👏

❤❤❤aucun acteur à ma connaissance ne pouvais mieux que sam incarner un tel personnage .elegant fort superbe visage de la classe romantique et sexy une rareté de la nature je suis fan. ❤❤❤❤😂

He is perfect !

One in million choice perfect 😊😮❤

Sam is just so damn handsome and those eyes!

So good!

Wow!

El es adorable❤

Amazing!

He would make the perfect 007!! He has the subtle cheeky magnetic charm, wit and manliness that is the essence of James Bond. But too bad James Bond is going so woke now.

Perfect choice

Es bueno ver los inicios de Sam Heughan

Every woman wants Sam. Every man wants to be Sam.

I saw him the show some but really good. Some actors really it don't they. I think he is with it all!

He was Jamie from day one ♥️

I wonder how many hopeful lads auditioned before Sam came on the scene? Poor follows didn’t stand a chance!

I just read the first book and when i saw him, he looks like i imagine Jamie Alexander Mckenzie Frazier. And now i can't unsee him.

Sam the man 👍He definitely should be our next Bond ooooweeee 🥵🤩

Indeed !

He is the man

Love this Guy xoxo❤🙋‍♀️🇬🇧🇩🇪

Holy crap! Who was reading the lines with him? The casting director? She must have known by the end that he had to be the one.

Yes

I think I speak for most middle aged women. I would like to tank you for selecting Sam as Jamie.

😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

He looks here a lot like his son William. Great casting!

Vraiment un acteur talentueux

For every show I watch in the back of my mind I'll often wonder how an actor got their first big break, what other roles they chose, if they're decent people off camera, or if their phones are in their 18th century coats lol Unfortunately for Sam, I've never been able to separate Jamie from him 😅 even in other roles. I kinda feel guilty for that, but also to me it's proof that some things we're just meant for.

?? Where is the tape of the 'private' audition he had at the home of the shows producer. (We all know several pretty actors were sent by their Hollywood agents to meet at the producers home to discuss the part... curious what did Sam have to offer that the other actors didn't.)

I thought it was Fraser? I keep hearing Frazier.

Why is he wearing same shirt in this audition tape as he does with Cat? I thought the were months apart.

Por eso me gustaria q la cerie termine con lert trabajando en medicina y muy feliz y con su familia.😅😅😅

No one else could’ve played Jamie!!!

*Fraser (frazer) not Frazier.

Really annoys me how even people associated with the show say the character's name 'Frasier'. It's Jamie FRASER. Rhymes with razor.

Why was his voice altered....

100 lashes x 100 lashes could kill a man. Hell even Christ himself got 40 & it was too much... How does Jamie even live thru this?? As well as the other tortures from BJR, & later the beatings from others?? He's one bad@$$ dude !!

He’s so very much Jamie that to watch him in anything else seems odd, inorganic and forced. He doesn’t fit any other role I’ve seen him in.

Si interesante pero la brutalidad la sufrio cler y eso es horrible.

I don’t think this actor matches the authors description of Jamie. He’s not as large. I also don’t think the leading lady was a good judicial match either. However, the actors are very talented.
