Armitage-Outlander Connections

Outlander has been one of my latest obsessions.

(Both the Starz TV show and the
book series by author Diana Gabaldon.)

So for all the other RA fans out there who

enjoy the television show, here are a few connections.

First, there's the obvious one:
Richard's co-star, Graham McTotallyAwesome,

plays Dwalin in The Hobbit series...

and the War Chief, Dougal MacKenzie, in Outlander.

Both characters are tough and sport amazing beards to prove it.

Look at these two...

besties off and on screen. *tear of joy*

They must bond over brooding

because they both do it so well. :)

The second RA-Outlander connection I've made is with
Tobias Menzies, who plays both Frank and Black Jack Randall.

By the way... wouldn't Richard make a great Black Jack???

He plays bad guys so well!  (Think of a sadistic version of Gisborne.) 

With that being said, I do think that Tobias Menzies has been

playing his parts perfectly.  Plus, he's so charming and funny

in all of his interviews... I'm a fan.

Anyway, when I watched the first episode of Outlander,

Tobias looked familiar to me.  It wasn't until recently, when 

I looked him up on IMDb to do a lil' internet stalk-a-roo,

that I realized he played Andrew Lawrence (the Home Secretary)

in Spooks, Season 8.  In fact, he died with Ros in the explosion. *Sniff*

You can see both Richard and Tobias in this gut-wrenching scene:

There you have it, folks.
