Jamie Fraser Mystery Solved!

First off, eep can’t believe it’s been soooo long since I last blogged.  I have a good excuse though, I’ve been reading 😉 I read at least 2 books per week, not hard when you don’t watch TV.

So my last post was my mental casting call for The Outlander series’ Jamie Fraser and quite a few of you wanted to know who MY Jamie was.  Well *drumroll* the Jamie Fraser in my mind is none other than model (turned actor I hope)  Gabriel Aubry aka baby daddy to Halle Berry.  The picture I posted was touched up to look more like Jamie.  Check below for the original picture and a few others.

Another great shot. He even has the long nose Diana G. often mentions in the books.

Gabriel will always be the Jamie Fraser in my mind when I read this series.

Mental Casting Call: Jamie Fraser

Oh Jamie Fraser from the Outlander series byDiana Gabaldon *sigh* what can I say about him.  He’s strong, loyal, intelligent, sexy, funny and a little bit of a beast, he’s one of my all-time favourite male characters. RAWR!

This is MY Jamie Fraser

The Mental Casting Call

Whenever I read a book, I look closely for the clues, descriptions and actions that define the main characters.  When I have a clear idea of how these character look and act, I then scroll through my mental list of actors and cast my book.

I don’t think I’m alone in this, why? Well, because when a book is in pre-production to become a film we all can have such different visuals as to who should be cast. I recall four years ago when Robert Pattinson was cast as Edward Cullen in Twilight, oh lawd the uproar, there were even petitions to have him recast lol.  Well we all know how that worked out, in the end Rob became everyones Edward.
