While Balfe was relatively green as an actress when she began filming Outlander, she wouldn’t change a thing in how she played the first few episodes of the series.
“I think the only thing I would tell my past self is get more sleep,” she says with a laugh. “In some ways, I think my naivete and my lack of prior knowledge of TV-making probably helped me in many ways. The adrenaline that you have doing your first big series is amazing. The well that you have to draw from because of that, it’s incredible to look back at the hours that you put in and the fact that you survived it alone, having that stamina, I’m still shocked we pulled it off. It’s been a wild and crazy ride but I wouldn’t change a second of it.”
And Balfe actually has that same healthy attitude about all her scenes from the entire series.
Executive producer Ron D. Moore explains why he made that huge, structural change from the page to the screen in the season two premiere.
