7 Casting Decisions That Hurt Outlander (And 13 That Saved It)

ol_andrewgower_still

Screenrant have published a list of “7 Casting Decisions That Hurt Outlander (And 13 That Saved It)” and while we do not agree with all their assessments, we strongly support their view of Andrew Gower‘s performance as Bonnie Prince Charlie.

Saved It: Andrew Gower As Bonnie Prince Charlie

Prince Charles led the Jacobite Rebellion in 18th-century Scotland and inevitably failed in his mission to take the crown. Outlander needed to find the perfect actor to play the Bonnie Prince, and they found him in none other than Andrew Gower.

Gower showed off his acting chops as the Prince and emulated his privilege, wealth, and flamboyancy in every movement and every word. It was, quite honestly, a damn shame when his role was over by the beginning of season 3 because he was just so fun to watch. But much like the real Prince Charlie, the character’s time in Scotland was over, and it was time for everyone else to move on, too.

We could not have said it better ourselves 👏 and we cannot wait what the future holds for our bonnie Andrew but we are sure they will be bigger and better things than what was in store for his alter ego Prince Charlie.

CarterMatt: Poldark season 5 spoilers: Is an Outlander actor coming on board?

CarterMatt has picked up on Andrew Gower‘s recent Instagram post in which he revealed his part in the upcoming final season of period drama Poldark. (see our post about it here)

Our favourite part of their article?

If you haven’t watching Outlanderthen there is a reasonably good chance you’re familiar with [Andrew] Gower from some of his other work. After all, he has appeared in such other series including AD: The Bible Continues, Being Human, The White Queenand more. This is someone who’s got a rather-impressive resume of TV work behind him and while he’s not going to have a chance to continue whatever he does on Poldark, there is still an opportunity for more good stuff down the line.

No doubt about that!
