歐藍德週一宣布,該劇已找到成年演員羅傑·韋克菲爾德(Roger Wakefield),飾演蘇格蘭出生的演員理查德·蘭金(Richard Rankin),雖然書迷可能會對此消息感到高興,但至少有一名演員,格雷厄姆·麥克塔維什,很遺憾地失望了。

麥克塔維什目前扮演道格爾·麥肯齊 (Dougal MacKenzie),麥肯齊氏族的戰爭酋長,他擊倒了被指控的女巫蓋利斯鄧肯.他們結合的產物是羅傑·韋克菲爾德 (Roger Wakefield) 的祖先,他是韋克菲爾德牧師 (Reverend Wakefield) 收養的可愛小男孩,我們在第一季 1945 年的場景中認識了他。在第二季中,我們再次見到羅傑,只是這一次,他是成年人了。由於該劇已有一位演員同時扮演祖先和後代的歷史 - 請參閱托比亞斯‧孟席斯扮演弗蘭克和黑傑克——麥克塔維什希望他能有機會在杜格爾和羅傑身上做同樣的事情。週五在外景拍攝的休息時間,他向禿鷹解釋了他的總體計劃。

「這是我的計劃,只是他們還不知道而已,」這位禿頭大鬍子演員笑道。 「羅傑的特點是,他從很小的時候就留著鬍子,這幾乎是可笑的。 He had amazing facial hair for a 7-year-old.而且他還禿頭!所以我看不出他們有什麼理由不讓我演這個角色。想想這會給他們省去多少麻煩!

至於羅傑 1968 年的戀人布麗安娜,麥克塔維什也有一個選角想法,遵循相同的祖先後裔模式,即使它涉及一點性別逆轉:薩姆修漢扮演傑米和他的女兒。 “Listen, if you just do Sam's hair a bit differently, put him in the right frock, and get some mood lighting,” he offered, “you'd never know [he's a guy]!” Given that Roger and Brianna get pretty close over the course of the story, would McTavish be willing to go there with Heughan? He seemed delighted by the prospect of kissing his co-star, but wasn't so sure Heughan would like getting scratched by his whiskers. But now that McTavish has lost his dream role, this kiss is not meant to be. Perhaps predicting this outcome, McTavish was quick to suggest we intervene with both the fans and showrunner Ron D. Moore. 「請說一句話,」他問我們。 「讓羅恩接電話。 Tell the fans, hashtag Graham-for-Roger.”抱歉,格雷厄姆,我們遲到了幾天。
