Blood of My Blood star Jamie Roy's inside life from failed Outlander auditions to actress girlfriend
Fans of Outlander: Blood of Blood are keen to know more about the actor Outlander: Blood of My Blood premiered to a strong start and a hugely positive fan reaction. The show continues this week and viewers are keen to know about the cast of the show, including Scottish star Jamie Roy who plays Brian Fraser and the father of Outlander's heroic Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan) and has shared behind-the-scenes snaps from filming. Here's a look at the star's life, including his early years, how he lost out on a role in Outlander and who he's currently dating. Jamie Roy's early life The 32-year-old actor, who was born in Greenock on the West Coast of Scotland, before his family moved to the small town of Lenzie just outside of Glasgow. He only came to acting later on after attending business school in Glasgow and getting a business degree at Strathclyde University. After graduating he landed a desk job and decided it wasn't for him, before starting to take acting classes at night while working during the day. Roy later got the chance to move to the US after he landed a job at a firm in America, but decided to turn it down and pursue acting instead. He move to Miami, Florida in 2016 and continued to follow his dreaming of acting. He admitted to Glamour how he'd felt like an 'outsider for the longest time' as he'd not attended drama school or had any formal training apart from his 'fantastic acting classes and life'. During his time in Florida he worked on stage at Disney theme parks, which he said served as some of his 'best training' because he was in front of a stage of 1,000 people for each show. In 2019, he moved to LA and continued to act before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, but afterwards he started to get some film roles as he built up his acting CV. Roy is now a US citizen according to IMDb and splits his time between Scotland and LA. Jamie Roy's failed Outlander auditions Before landing the lead in the Outlander prequel series, Roy went for the part of Militia Man Number One in season seven but failed to get the role. Roy said: 'I thought that I was going to get this role, I was pinned for it, and then didn't get it and was heartbroken.' Only later did he learn, after being cast as Brian, that he'd been dropped from the role after senior Starz TV executives wanted to keep him for Blood of My Blood - even before the show had been greenlit. He added: 'It just shows you that you never know what's happening behind closed doors and what fate has in store for you. It all worked out as it was meant to, I suppose.' Roy also revealed how he went for another part in a storyline involving Roger MacKenzie's (Richard Rankin) in Outlander, but didn't get the role either. Brian Fraser was Roy's third audition for the Outlander team. Since taking on Blood of My Blood, Roy has revealed he's received support from Heughan, who has given him a wealth of advice. "[He told] me just to appreciate every moment, even on the tough days, because it goes past so quickly,' Roy told People in a recent chat. Jamie Roy's sweet romance with fellow actress Roy has been in a relationship with fellow actress Annika Foster for five years. She previously posted a series of snaps on her Instagram account of them posing on Edinburgh's Royal Mile to mark their two-year anniversary back in 2023. Along with the sweet photos, she captioned the post: 'happy 2-year honey (mustard) ilysm [sic].' More recently, Foster shared a photo of them from Los Angeles as well as a Blood of My Blood billboard, showing her support for her partner's work. The 31-year-old American actress has starred in Meeting You, Meeting Me, The Drawing and Burning Lies. Some of her other roles include short film Perfidious, Melody, Prom Nightmare and Isolation Experiment, the latter two are in post-production. Foster's forthcoming projects include Crossing Stars and Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary. Roy and Foster worked together on the 2021 film Burning Lies in which they played love interests. Last year, the couple appeared together in the independent movie Meeting You, Meeting Me. Aside from her acting career, Foster had also worked as a part-time nanny and enjoys travelling the world, according to her interview on the Real Conversations with Jacob Young podcast. She said: 'I live in a studio apartment with my partner. And it's actually … pretty easy.' Adding: 'But I forget to go to work. I nanny on the side and I come home and he's here.' Outlander season 8 will air on Starz and MGM+ via Prime Video in early 2026

Roll With It are playing in Dublin in the afternoon before the concerts get under way."We've done over 300 gigs," Nick told BBC News NI. "Just to play their songs, I mean, we're such fans and to be able to go and play those songs to like-minded people, big audiences -it's just an incredible feeling."Working in finance by day and performing as Bonehead by night is quite a switch, but it all stems from Nick's love of the band - who, on Sunday night, he'll be seeing for the 38th said it will be like seeing them for the first time."We didn't think it was ever going to happen, we had no expectation of Oasis ever returning. I can't wait."Unfortunately, we're driving straight home after." Comedian Paddy McDonnell is doubling up - the Oasis fan saw the band in Edinburgh last week and, on Sunday, will be heading to Dublin for gig number not quite on the same level as Nick - having seen the band 15 times before they split - but he's not far off, and thinks many people are going to "relive their youth"."It's a sense of nostalgia, making us feel like we're 22 again."I have seen them numerous times since they split, when Liam and Noel were performing in their separate acts, and its just not the same."I genuinely thought it would never happen, considering how public the family feud was, it's been a long time coming."Paddy admitted he was almost scammed when seeking tickets and thought he wasn't going to make it - but being a comedian can help."Thankfully we got our money back but it was pure luck that a woman in my accountant's office couldn't make the gig in Edinburgh - so I agreed to do stand-up at her wedding in exchange for the tickets."I was able to get tickets to Dublin when I just happened to do a podcast with a guy who sorted me out."Paddy was happy to share some advice to fellow concert-goers - consider wearing a coat, even if it's warm."In Edinburgh, I wore a large jacket. Many were wondering why, but when the music starts people go nuts and there's beer and all sorts flying in the air."I had the hood up, well protected from any liquid." 'Proper limbs': Fans get ready for Oasis Dublin mania For others, like Will McCrum and Nathan Black, this weekend will be the first time seeing 24, from Newtownabbey, has seen Liam Gallagher perform three times but never with Oasis."This concert will be more about the atmosphere, than anything else. As they are probably my favourite musicians, it's crazy I get to see them live, something I genuinely thought would never happen."The anticipation and excitement is off the scales, I have literally no idea what to expect, all I know is when they play Acquiesce is going to be proper limbs." Nathan, also 24, will travel from Ballyclare to Dublin. Like many others, he doubted he'd get tickets."I tried for whatever venue I could possibly get my hands on, I didn't care where I went to see them."I remember being about 25,000th in the queue on Ticketmaster, thinking there was no chance."He added: "Of course, we're all excited. What's making the wait seem that much longer is all these videos going round social media, when they walk out for the first time the place is going to go mental." There are others who remember Oasis early days, when the band's star was on the Neely's unique connection to the band is being the man who had booked them to play in Belfast, as it happens, on the day debut album Definitely Maybe went number one in the UK cost £6.75 for the gig in The Limelight, the venue David managed."It's a long time ago now, but we just heard of this band who were only three singles in, and Melody Maker, Hot Press and NME, - all the magazines - were buzzing about this new band from Manchester, and thankfully we were able to snare them."He booked them six weeks before they performed "just as the buzz was kicking in". "It was almost a run-of-the-mill gig, a Sunday night, about 500 people where there, at the same time there was something special about that night."It was the right band at the right time in the right venue."David will be in Croke Park this weekend."There are very few bands from that era that send a shiver down your spine when you hear them, so I'm looking forward to seeing them." At Belfast's Grand Central Station, some fans were already making their way to and Catherine Robinson said they "play their songs all the time in the house" and couldn't wait for the gig."I'm a big Noel fan so I cant wait to hear them play Talk Tonight - any of his songs I'm looking forward to."The pair queued, virtually, for hours to get a ticket and were willing to travel half a world away - but, in the end, they didn't have to go that far."We've made a weekend of it so we are going to head round the bars on Saturday and just have a really good time."The Gallaghers, no doubt, would approve.
