I have taken the next step toward total obsession and joined a 'discussion' group of Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series.
Bandied about among the 'ladies' of the list are names for possible actors to play the male protagonist of the series: Jamie Frazer. Val Kilmer someone said. Noooo. I couldn't see it. I could see him as a member of the Doors, but not as Jamie Frazer, Scottish Highlander.
Then I heard the name Gerard Butler.
Who the heck is that? What has he done? Well at the time of the writing of this blog I only know that his face has been set to a lot of tunes and turned into videos on YouTube. One in particular is a fascinating video of Mr. Butler trying out for the part of Jamie Frazer. I understand he is Diana Gabaldon's first pick (thus far).
After watching the video a couple of times, I'm also captivated by the woman appearing with him. But I don't know her name.
The idea of this fantasy figure being played by a mere man and having to put his face to what I have up until now only imagined -- I resisted the idea. Said I didn't believe the series should be made into a movie.
And yet, having seen Mr. Butler, perhaps the idea of a movie with him as Jamie Fraser has certain merit.
