HFPA in Conversation: Sam Heughan’s Role of a Lifetime

mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin;color:black’>“I had got quite close on a few jobs but never landed one and really was just a juncture in my life where I was thinking, can I continue to do this, can I continue to support myself and do I want this for the rest of my life.”

Then he went on an audition for Outlander and got the part. “It’s changed my life. It’s given me a great many opportunities and I’m very thankful for it. But it’s been a lot of hard work and you have to sacrifice certain things as well, like your personal life because you’re constantly traveling or working but it’s also opened up a lot of doors for me and I think hopefully made me a better actor as well.”

Bloodshot funny to play; what kind of roles he is looking for; what he learned while shooting the comedy The Spy Who Dumped MeOutlander fans; and why he likes wearing a kilt.
