I would love to see it, but I hope it is on HBO because I don't get STARZ and I think he would have more exposure on HBO. Not many people subscribe to STARZ. If it only makes it to S I guess I'll have to subscribe even thou my cable bill is ridiculous as is everyone else.

I don't know Diana Gabaldon except through her novels, webpages, and twitter, but I do know that she doesn't see Gerry as Jamie and never has as long as I have been reading her comments. Loved every word in her books and that is what brought me here like a lot of Gerry's fans, but Diana does not see him as we do and she definitely does not see him as Jamie! Dougal might be a good choice or Murtagh but Gerry might go for Black Jack Randall or Lord John and then I would be completely thrown. It may be safer, at least for me, to leave that favorite series in my head with Gerry as the leading man, James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser and Rachel Weisze as Claire and the Evanescence song My Immortal would definitely have to be in the soundtrack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6Jzg-dDsHw

I just cancelled my cable movie stations because the price was unbelievable. I will have to get it back when this series starts. Tweeting campaign for Gerry to play Dougal is catching on. More and more people are RTing.

I was talking to her on facebook and I wrote her what Gerry said about Outlander and Jamie Fraser and she thought it was really funny. I told her how in a interview Gerry was asked if he could play a man fictional or real and who would it be? He answered that forhis fans he needed to say Jamie Fraser and then he paused and smiled and said, "You have no idea how many copies of that fucking book have been sent to me!" Diana had never heard his comment and thought it was really funny and she asked me to give him her regards if I was ever to see him in person again.

Game of Thrones has shown that you don't need many stars to have a hit. If the story and acting is good then word of mouth can make a hit series. I hope for Diana's sake she has a big say in casting as a Scottish accent done wrong can ruin things. If cast right, even if full of unknowns, it could be mega - cast wrong it'll sadly be crucified by the UK public.

HaHa, Dianne, I once tried to get a guy to read the first one and after a couple of chapters, he threw it at me. Guess it is definitely a woman's book but I think Gerry should listen to us sometimes as a big portion of his audience are women.

Should we all tweet G about this? YES!!!!I've already tweeted him and had RTs to him but I am doubting he looks at his tweets much. I am going to use the social media to begin a campaign about this. So everybody please tweet that you would love to see Gerry in the series!!! It can't hurt him that's for sure and maybe he'll be offered the part. After that it would be up to him if he wants it.

The one and only Diana Gabaldon, author of the Outlander book series is involved and is keeping an eye on our progress. Momentum is building on twitter about getting Gerry to play Dougal MacKenzie. SPOILER.... Be careful reading this if you don't know the story. This explains Dougals part in the story. Like I said Dougal is not the main character but he is super interesting and important to the story. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlander_%28novel%29

I just read that Channing Tatum has dropped out of Highlander and GB is the #1 choice to play the part. Do you think he would do both? Kind of similar. CT sounds like he dropped out 1-Conflict and tired of waiting. 2-Criticism of why an American has to play the part when there is enough Scot's that could play it. IMO #2 had more to do with it. It sounds like a better part, more exposure, and $$$ for GB. It is a movie and more people can see it. CT has been waiting for over 1 yr to play and the Director dropped out. Hinted he wasn't right for the part and that was the delay. Am I all wrong?

I hope he is a very good actor because he doesn't look anything like Jamie to me, SD. In my mind Gerry will always be Jamie so I might be a little biased.
