An Outlandish weekend in every sense! We had the An Outlandish weekend in every sense! We had the absolute pleasure of meeting Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and Lord John Grey (David Berry) at Supanova Comic Con in Sydney, Australia. As VIP guests, we attended both of their Q&A panels - each packed with charm, humour, and heartfelt insight into Outlanderโ€™s beloved characters. A pleasant addition was Charles Vandervaart (William) who made a late appearance, joining David Berry on stage and adding to the magic. I was lucky enough to be selected to ask David a question during the panel. I said (paraphrased): "When we first met your character, we wanted to hate him. But over time, we grew to like himโ€”and eventually love him. Lord John Grey is so complex, so emotionalโ€ฆ Iโ€™m getting emotional just saying this. We were really barracking for him. What did Lord John teach you, either as an actor or as a person?" Davidโ€™s response was incredible. He shared how, as an actor, he often felt frustration reading what John was about to face - wanting to get angry for him; but the character was written to consistently respond with kindness and love. That lesson, he said, stayed with him well beyond the show. Photos, conversations, and a signature (or two!) rounded out what was truly a dream weekend for these two Outlander fans. #Outlander #SamHeughan #DavidBerry #CharlesVandervaart #JamieFraser #LordJohnGrey #WilliamRansom #Supanova #SupanovaComicCon #OutlanderFans #OutlanderCast #OutlanderAustralia #ComicConSydney #OutlanderQandA #TimeTravelWeekend #FraserClan #Sydney #Australia

Behind the festivities, there's a heartwarming purpose to Camp Quality - bringing joy and creating memorable experiences for kids facing Cancer. Let's keep supporting this incredible cause and spreading smiles!

As #Outlander fans, weโ€™ve dreamt of moments like this: standing face-to-face with the actors whoโ€™ve brought our favourite characters to life; each scene, emotion, and storyline etched into our memories. I wrote about it here: https://www.mike250.com/a-dream-weekend-with-the-outlander-cast-at-supanova-sydney/
