Jamie Roy Shares Spooky Moment of Sam Heughan Resemblance
The first season of Outlander: Blood of My Blood has captivated fans with its blend of romance, intrigue, and stunning visuals, including the iconic kilts that are a hallmark of the series. The prequel, which debuted in early 2025, features a cast that bears a striking resemblance to the original characters, particularly the leads who portray the future parents of Claire and Jamie. Among them, Jamie Roy has drawn attention for his uncanny likeness to Sam Heughan, who plays Jamie Fraser in the original Outlander series.
In a recent conversation, Roy recounted a memorable moment from a family gathering during Christmas 2023, just before production commenced. At a holiday party, one of his relatives’ friends approached him after a few drinks, exclaiming, “Has anyone ever told you you look like that guy from Outlander?” Roy responded with a laugh, acknowledging that this was not the first time he had heard such a comparison. “At this point, they had no idea what I was doing in Scotland and why,” he reflected.
The resemblance has not gone unnoticed by fans either. As Roy took on the role of Brian Fraser, the father of Jamie, many viewers began to comment on the similarities between the two actors. “When it got announced, everyone started pointing out all the similarities,” he noted, describing the moment as “spooky.”
The casting decision appears to have been fortuitous, with viewers commenting on how closely the two actors resemble each other, particularly when considering aspects such as hair color and even vocal tones. If you were to switch the hair colors of Roy and Heughan, they could easily pass for brothers.
The show’s storyline continues to unfold, with several episodes of Outlander: Blood of My Blood still to air. Fans can expect new episodes every Friday at 20:00 ET on Starz, and they will also be available for streaming on the Starz app as well as through Hulu’s add-on subscription.
In addition to the excitement of the ongoing first season, the show has already been confirmed for a second season, ensuring that fans will have more to look forward to in the Outlander universe. As the series progresses, the chemistry between the cast and the engaging storylines promise to keep audiences enthralled.
This blend of familial connection and shared history adds depth to the performances, making the characters relatable and compelling. As Jamie Roy continues to portray Brian Fraser, fans remain eager to see how the narrative develops and whether more connections to the original series will emerge.
