Who ever is Jamie HAS to be BIG 6’3″ or 6’4″ 200 lbs hair can be dyed natural accent preferred.
Ms Kingston or possably Joely Richardson for clair with contacts.
Bri also statuesque red headed American.
Roger BIG? Greeen eyes?
Jason Issacs perfect for Frank and Black Jack.
Ducan another Big guy, Murtagh small wiry
Janet??, and Ian??

OK just my three cents worth

Murtaugh: Anson Mount.
No one presently on earth is good enough to play ‘our’ Jamie. BUT, if we had to settle for a mere mortal, James Marsden would be a good place to start, I think. So cute, though a little puny to play Jamie. I don’t know…what we need is a young hybrid of “Rob Roy” Liam Neeson/”Braveheart” Mel Gibson/”Phantom of the Opera” Gerard Butler. Do they make those anywhere???
I think Reese Witherspoon could probably pulloff Claire. She was amazing as June Carter Cash.
No one OTHER than Jason Isaacs can play Black Jack Randall.
Wouldn’t Guy Pierce make a good Frank-although he doesn’t really resemble Jason Isaacs….
And finally—Missy Franklin for Brienne!!!
Most importantly though, who we really, really need is Nina Gold(?) who did the casting for Game of Thrones. She nailed each and every one of GRRM’s characters. As such, unknowns would be cool.

Well, if Tom Cruise can play Lestat and Jack Reacher, he can play Jamie.

Ok, that was a joke. Put down the pitchforks. ;-P

Dear Annie–

Um…I feel compelled to point out that Mr. Hemsworth has a (very noticeable) _Australian_ accent, not a Scottish one. People would notice. [cough]

that is so funny! the second I saw Thor, I thought: “oh my, it’s Jamie Fraser”. And then Snow White came out and he not only resembled him more, but he also had the accent….I’m pretty sure I melted Glad I’m not the only one to think so. But even if we can’t get Chris, I hope they choose the cast wisely.

I’m so excited for the show. I’m too cheap to have HBO, etc… but I would gladly fork out the dough for this!

I just looked at a photo of Jamie Bamber and my heart stopped… sigh. That would work for me. I don’t much care WHO he is in the series.

Yay! YAY YAY YAY!

So terribly sorry for the outburst. My dancing naked in the street skills have far been left behind with age and a bad knee.

I am going to go and procure the oldest, peat soakiest, smokey bottle of Scotch I can find and wait for this all to unfurl.

Congratulations!

A friends daughter recently recommended Cross stitch to me and my goodness talk about a book you just can’t put down. I love finding new authors and was very happy to know I had 7 more fabulous books to look forward to. I have a couple of your books reserved from my local library and have also bought a few on Amazon. I think Kevin Mckidd would make a great Jamie and agree that Jason Issacs would be very well cast as Captain Randall. Will have to read all the books before I watch the series but very excited to see how it will be adapted.
