Just tossing in my 2 cents but has anyone considered Kellan Lutz? Have never seen him in anything but twilight saga but he’s got the body and the eyes. Many think it should be a lesser known actor. Just food for thought.

I think Toby Keith is a good choice, but I kinda go for Mathew McCaughney (misspelled). I saw photos of Gerald Butler, he would be good!

Hi, Rosanne! Well, I have ZERO clout about this, so I doubt this will reach the attention of anyone! However, I’m really glad you swung by and added your opinion. I’ve had a few people mention Camelot to me recently in various conversations … I think I might have to check it out! And now I’ll look for Phillip Winchester and think of Jamie. Thanks for coming by and weighing in. Keep checking back — this has been a long, ongoing discussion since May 2009 and keeps going! : )

I haven’t entered this discussion before and I’m really not very far out on the Web (no Facebook), but I feel really strongly about this! I have also wondered about Jamie and Claire. I even scanned faces when I went to Culloden (inspired by the series of books). After all these years, THE minute I saw Phillip Winchester in Camolot, I knew I had found the man! He pulled off young in the mini series and yet I have seen teasers for an upcoming show whwere he looks older. I hope this note reaches the attentention of someone who knows how to pass it along so others may weigh in. THANKS!

Hi, smyers — Yes, actually, Henry Cavill was mentioned here already (by Mazlie, about 11 comments up from yours). I agree. He’s terrific in the Tudors!

I just finished watching the 4th season of the Tudors, and fell in love with an actor by the name of Henry Cavill. He did an amazing job in the Tudors and I believe he would make a perfect Jamie. He is 6’1″ and is amazing to look at, but more importantly he can act. The series the Tudors ran for 4 years, but the timeline of the characters span decades, Henry did an amazing job of going from a twenty year old character to someone in his fifties. I believe this is important for the actor that plays Jamie to be able to do this. Hair and eye colour can be changed, but the actors ability to act can not. I just hope the studio that produces this story does not place someone in the character just because he looks like Jamie. For example you have Gabriel Aubry on your list of potential people that could play Jamie, please no, he is not an actor and I would hate to see the book butcher by someone who can not act.

Thanks, Lisa! I loved the video! And you’re right — he’s got the right combo of youth and size that many of the others are missing (one or the other). Hmmm … I think you’ve convinced me! (I might have to watch the video again. …) : )

You have to check out Chris Hemsworth! He is in his 20s, 6’3” and absolutely gorgeous! He is also very muscular and even has Jamies blue cat-eyes!
He is the perfect guy to play Jamie, for sure. If you want to know a bit more about him, check out this video:
