In the final post of the night, we have Tobias in the third episode of OUTLANDER‘s first season in The Way Out. Here Tobias plays only Frank in a rather amazing scene between he and Caitriona Balfe (Claire Randall) at a train station where Frank is seeing Claire off to The Front. A wonderful scene all around.
Episode two of OUTLANDER saw Captain Jack Randall truly earn his name of “Black”. In this episode Jack got to Lallybrock and found Jenny Fraser (Laura Donnelly) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) at the homestead. Jack attempted to rape Jenny and forced Jamie to see her partially naked. Not to forget it was the first time Jack whipped Jamie. An amazing job done by all in this episode.
Post number two. Here I have Tobias’ work from OUTLANDER‘s premiere episode titled Sassenach. This was a pretty good start for a new series. This was also where I discovered a new side to Tobias Menzies. Something I’d not seen of him when he played Edmure Tully in GAME OF THRONES. I’m only saddened this site is so late in getting up as I really wish I could have given his fans somewhere to go to find stuff on him. Ah well, as Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) would say, “Dinna fash.”
Finally getting to OUTLANDER Here is the first of four posts today. Here I have the posters and promotional photos of season one of the show with Tobias playing Captain Jonathan Wolverton Randall or “Black Jack” as he’s known, and Frank Randall. Enjoy.
The press section is finally up and has articles to read. Please feel free to click on the menu option above and read to your heart’s content.
While I’m working on screencapping Tobias’ work on both OUTLANDER and THE TERROR I thought it would be interesting to find out the truth of what happened during the fated Franklin Expedition. Being a huge history buff much like Frank Randall, I really thought some information about the real expedition would be fascinating to post. There is a channel on Youtube called History Buffs. This channel deconstructs films and shows using history or historical facts to either debunk, demystify, or outright blow a hole in these reel versions of real history. I agree with the creator in there was no need to create a monster to haunt and stalk the crew members of The Erebus and The Terror. The conditions in which the men lived were horrific enough, and the depths of the depravity they had to stoop to in order to survive. Dan Simmons’ book was fantastic in its attention to detail, however, writing it more from a historical perspective rather than a fictional one would have been, at least I think, more practical to show what those of the Franklin Expedition went through in terms of those years trying to forge history. Yeah, I’m that much of a nerd. And just like OUTLANDER where I see some things truly lacking in Diana Gabaldon’s writing, I wish Simmons had just written the book and allowed the supernatural elements to rest on that tundra. If anyone is interested in an actual historical film based on fact with no ooga booga please check out the A&E film Shackleton starring Sir Kenneth Branagh and directed by Charles Sturridge. The mini-series is excellent and the production values pre-GAME OF THRONES are exceptional.
Because I was late in putting this site up, I missed out on Tobias’ OUTLANDER work including interviews for the show. Here Tobias talks about the show and his two characters of Frank Randall and Captain Black Jack Randall. He discusses the challenges of working in Scotland, explains he had his first love scene with Caitriona Balfe (Claire Fraser) that in effect popped his on-screen cherry, about filming the scenes in Wentworth Prison with Sam Heughan (Jamie Fraser) and teeth. It’s a cute interview.
