Here is a NEW Twitter Q and A from Richard Rankin
OK let's do this!! #AskRichardRankin #anythinggoesexceptspoilers #outlander #life

More after the jump!
Why Roger hasn't come to this conclusion already is beyond me. Maybe he still will?! We aren't even half way through the season yet and Brianna seems to have disappeared… https://t.co/keVQxI9xCh

I see a pattern emerging…who says Scottish Lassies aren't going to cause just as much, if not more heartache for the man?! #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/MPUYwX95fT

If Roger were to somehow find himself back in the 18th Century then, yes. It's a very different time. A more dangerous time and he would have to try to adapt to that. Quite the change from his history books! #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/M2yFZxXEpC

😂😂😂 If only that were true. Unfortunately my horse holds quite the grudge if i've been absent. Which I have. So I fully expect to be unseated next I see her. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/Gl6au9X5nP

I'm reading a book called Thinking Fast and Slow. I love #RichardVPuppy. Puppy always wins. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/g6vvrOp4Yf

I feel i've been very fortunate in the diversity of roles I've had the opportunity to play but I think as long as the script is good and the character is well written, then I'm not too hung up on the occupation or profession. #astronaut #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/zgiChnVDhK
— Richard Rankin (@RikRankin) December 4, 2018
I think you're right on the themes. I don't necessarily think he needed to suffer to prove himself worthy of Brianna. Perhaps he would thinks so but I think as the Season moves on, he begins seeking redemption in himself and it's neccessary for him to evolve. #askrichardrankin https://t.co/AStMDZTKcS

I think one of the sexiest things about Roger is his nose in profile, to be honest. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/MlS2qbJa4D

I have been to North Carolina! Did a play called #TheBlackWatch – one of my favourite jobs ever, incidentally. Yeah, I hope to return before I start on S5, actually. Don't know why. Just fancy it. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/uVg12vy95O

I've worked with and continue to work with some really great actors and I feel like there's always opportunity to be learning and developing from them. It's not always really established actors either but any actor whose process interests me. #Askrichardrankin #wankyanswer https://t.co/6CkVleM5K5

Well he's a 60s man. So i'm going to have to say The Beatles. Pretty sure he could take Ringo's spot as second best drummer in the band. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/XO1Ee5TaGR

This is my default expression. You've captured it beautifully. #restingstoodonanailface #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/EbEfTs3bqB

Let me just say that @Sarahphelps was kind enough to share the outline for the rest of the story on #TheCrimsonField and it was beautiful. Truly. Gave you shivers. I'll always have a little pining for it. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/wljkndk1Hy

I just filmed on Burnistoun a few weeks ago!! #Burnistoun #Outlander #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/7rc7kHpRTV

Oh. Interesting question. I think it depends on how I'm feeling. Been listening to A Star is Born recently. Which is great. Love LA LA Land. Pretty much all Disney soundtracks. Can frequently be caught randomly whistling John Williams to myself. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/AxJlQEdsWF

Wait. Wait, what? Are you asking me to undress? #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/GQbkgg8dOx

I feel like I would nail this. Just saying. At least let me try. LET ME TRY. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/vmSUD1OfYs

I think it was more his timing and less his facial hair that was the issue here, to be honest. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/Itw5Jz82FP

The #Outlander sets are just incredible. There's on S4 set in particular that I won't go into detail about but all credit to @jongarysteele and his team. The level of detail and craftsmanship is stunning. Not difficult to immerse yourself in that world. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/QgPRuMriga

I am a very serious actor who takes his job very seriously and have the utmost serious respect for the other actors and their need to focus. Therefore, I generally don't allow laughter when I'm on set. Not even that kind of unvoiced laughter. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/1i9RJCcZVH

Ohhhhh…..Grandad dancing vs 60s Grandad dancing. I'm thinking Roger. He's probably got some Rock n Roll in him. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/2VEXv8Gtln

Always a pleasure, Martha. Just hoping that for Larry's sake, you held up your end of the bargain. I haven't forgotten. 😘😋 https://t.co/sy9FHQSrmm

😂😂😂 I feel like if there's a recast (and God knows there might be!) You should definitely be up for consideration #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/ouiE3gtpJs

love em. https://t.co/dJExxv8BJO

You just think that's what Roger's looking at. He's actually looking at a new leather bound journal. Which is hawt! #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/spzDqoKkFl

To stop her from getting hurt. Irrespective of how he thinks she might feel – he still loves her and cares very much for her. He doesn't want any harm to come to her. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/2PINwDeXKC

Loads of places I'd love to visit. Off the top of my head though: India, Iceland, Kenya, Singapore, Thailand. There's a fair few! #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/FvICwlODJf

I generally think anything that will take the focus away from my face is helpful. Especially in emotionally driven scenes. The audience are drawn to the hat and the underscore and we acheive the desired result. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/aiQszuDbzC

I think it's quite common for actors to want to indulge themselves in their darker side. It's always fun to play the bad guy. Bonnet particularly interests me because he's not conventional. He's really quite charming about being an absolute bastard. #Askrichardrankin https://t.co/PcQwjoZySC

Always had a bit of respect for the Velociraptor. In fact, I often pretend I am one. Especially when faced with a little round window and a door handle that I'm strugglilng with. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/6sZaPc7wQI

Last book series I properly binged was #Asongoficeandfire and it wasn't healthy. I lost friends. The few that I had. I lost them. So it's safer to binge TV for me. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/Y2l68dAqLR

Feel like I was channeling my inner Martin Freeman here. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/LnPILoVKZc

Yes. I am considering it. Should my character ever require experience of North Carolina. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/Yvezwv7EFD

If it were to be outside of the UK then I'd love to live somewhere like San Francisco or New York. #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/jI4z5AJyEu

What you mean him taking the time to get over Brianna, finding himself a nice Scottish Lass and settling down in a nice wee pad in Oxford to raise a lovely little family and start a family band? Yeah! #AskRichardRankin https://t.co/JZoQIObDDL

So many good questions! I'm sorry I haven't got to them all but we should do this again sometime. Thanks for joining in and I hope you enjoy the rest of Season 4!!! #outlander #AskRichardRankin

I always miss all those Q&As. Where do you find when one is going to give one?
It was a joy to read the Q&As above. Lots of humour and some insight. Thank you for sharing.
