Outlander introduced Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser, a role that turned him into one of the most prominent stars on screen. But, what some might not know is that the actor was rejected 7 times when he tried to join the cast of an HBO fantasy series.

When Outlander began filming in 2013, Sam Heughan and Caitríona Balfe were older than the roles they played, but now, as the second half of Season 7 unfolds, Jamie and Claire have aged. Their epic love story began in 1743 and it’s now 1778, so some 34 years have passed, and the actors are having to age up with help from hair and makeup.

Outlander finally adapted one of its wildest book plots for the screen in Season 7’s gripping installment, “A Hundredweight of Stones,” as Claire (Caitriona Balfe) dealt with the presumed loss of husband Jamie (Sam Heughan).
