Welcome to Outlander Family John Bell who will play Young Ian Murray and Wil Johnson as Joe Abernathy
From Variety:
Joining Jamie Fraser’s (Sam Heughan) world in the 18th century, John Bell (“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies”) will play the role of Young Ian Murray, Jamie’s nephew. Young Ian is a tall, gangly Scottish lad with a heart of gold, a stubborn streak and a penchant for getting into trouble. Bursting with charm, he’s more like his adventurous, fierce uncle Jamie than his farmer father Ian — but when we meet him, he is still a very gawky boy. However, he keeps trying to prove that he is a man and we will see him grow into quite a formidable one as the series evolves.
More after the jump!
Meanwhile, in Claire’s (Caitriona Balfe) life in 20th Century Boston, Wil Johnson (“Waking the Dead”) will play her friend and medical colleague, Joe Abernathy. Joe is a fellow doctor-in-training whom Claire befriends in medical school. Intelligent, charismatic, with a wry and irreverent sense of humor, Joe is a loyal confidant with great affection for Claire. He puts on a good face, but he is all too aware of his place in the Civil Rights era. Joe and Claire both feel out of place in the mostly all-white, all-male medical field, which bonds them together in a lifelong friendship

Anyone remember The Young Riders……..with Stephen Baldwin as a very young William Cody (Buffalo Bill)? For some reason when I was reading about Young Ian that was how I pictured him looking…………John Bell is pretty close to that image. Can hardly wait to see him with the Indian tattoos on his face.
Yes, loved that show!
Awesome! It is so fun to see the faces of these characters! I can’t wait!!!
