Richard Rankin’s latest photo shoot amid the success of his new show Rebus, now streaming on BBC iPlayer!
“Rebus is an iconic Scottish character, and given the heritage of the novels, I think we’re definitely representing the world of Rebus for a start. We’re representing Scotland too, and certainly the East coast, Fife and Edinburgh; it was important to us, the authenticity of it all. It’s been very important to us to preserve the language, the characters and their own Scottishness and sense of place…”

Richard Rankin is starring in the BBC’s adaptation of Rebus and recently gave a lengthy interview for Square Mile where he also talked at length about the second half of Outlander Season 7, joking with his costar (Sophie Skelton) on set, filming the 8th and final season, and also details about his passion for photography.

From Square Mile:
RICHARD RANKIN HAS just come from a photoshoot. Roughly an hour ago, he was dressed top to tail in a white suit, black socks, and shiny shoes. The man who turns the corner into the St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, though, looks far more comfortable: gym kit on, duffel bag in hand, Paris-bound. “It’s always fun dressing up,” he laughs, his Scottish brogue cutting through the din of the Euston Road. “But sometimes it’s like ‘I know what you’re going for here, and I’m not sure I’m the man to do it for you.’”

Another thing Rankin knows: devoted audiences. Since joining Outlander in season two, his performance as Roger the time-travelling historian has been a firm favourite among fans of the show. After some brief back-and-forth establishing how much he can say without being hauled by his duffel bag into Outlander’s legal department, the actor outlines what’s in store for Roger when the show returns in November: “The second half of season seven is really some of the best stuff I think we’ve shot for Outlander,” he hints. “It’s an incredible adventure for Roger, because we don’t often see him without [his wife] Brianna – they’ve always been such a team.”

He (Rankin, not Hans) is currently filming for Outlander’s eighth and final season. It must be odd, knowing the show is coming to an end. “Isn’t everything?” He jokes, sipping his drink. And just like that St Pancras is confronted with the inevitable heat death of the universe. “And I’m only halfway through a cocktail!”
Existential nihilism and alcoholic tomato juice aside, he says the whole cast is aware that they’re in the last moments of something special: “It was a very emotional read through, we had photos up from all the past seasons of the show.” They’ve already filmed at Castle Leoch, in a call back to season one. “You can feel the nostalgia and what it meant to people. There were a lot of tears in the room that day.”
