“It took me a long time to watch and when I eventually did, I was like—”
“When did you watch it, Sam?”
“Probably about a month ago, which is outrageous, I know. But I wanted to take time to myself to watch it and really assess the performance. No, she’s brilliant in it and everyone shone in that movie. And I really, I honestly loved it. So well done.”
—Sam praising Caitriona after (FINALLY) watching Belfast
Firstly, from where we started, she's one of my best friends. She's a great confidant. She's a great actress. We've become so close... And we've grown up together as well. From the beginning where we knew nothing, really. To now where we're Producers on the show. To the future where we're both working on other projects, but we always touch base with each other. Not only that, on set she's a great set partner. She's generous. She's great humor— the worst humor, actually, 'cause she's always corpses all the time. She's strong. She's very thoughtful. She knows what she wants from a scene, but yet she's always open to interpretation and bounces anything back. Do you know what? She'd be great in a basketball team, great in an American football team. She can get in there, stuck amongst the guys. She can knock you over. She's the, what they call it when you play the pro ball? She's the... MVP of the Outlander team. MVP Caitriona Balfe.

“I hope he knows. I hope he knows how much I appreciate him. You know Sam is a real— he’s just such a gentle soul. He creates such an easy environment no matter where he goes. He’s kind to everybody. He is very funny. And I think I’ve just been really lucky. Like, he is somebody— I’m sure I annoy the hell out of him every so often. We really, at this point, kind of feel like family. But in general, he allows me the space to be myself. He may roll his eyes behind my back, but at the same time I hope what we do is allow each other to work each other’s thoughts and all the things about the character without impinging upon each other. We do, we sort of give each other that space, I hope.”

U.K. broadcaster Channel 4 has commissioned “Suspect” (working title), an adaptation of Christoffer Boe’s hit Danish series “Forhøret.”
The 8 x 30’ drama stars James Nesbitt (“Bloodlands”), Joely Richardson (“The Tudors”), Anne-Marie Duff (“Sex Education”), Richard E. Grant (“Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”), Ben Miller (“Bridgerton”), Niamh Algar (“Deceit”), Antonia Thomas (“Small Axe”), Sacha Dhawan (“Doctor Who”), Sam Heughan (“Outlander”) and Imogen King (“Clique”).
The series will follow veteran detective Danny Frater as he investigates the unnatural death of his daughter and sets out on a mission for the truth, retracing her last days and hours, in an agonising crusade to discover what really happened to his only child.
“I could relate to Danny, with his flaws, vulnerabilities and the devastating situation he faces, from the very first moment I picked up the script,” Nesbitt said. “Each episode of ‘Suspect’ is an intensely theatrical double-hander, a psychological battle of wits between Danny and another character who may know something about his daughter’s untimely death, and I really can’t wait to lock horns with my fellow cast members and to lead this incredible array of acting talent.”
The series was commissioned by Channel 4 head of drama Caroline Hollick and commissioning editor Gemma Boswell. It has been written and adapted by Matt Baker (“Before We Die”), will be directed by Dries Vos (“Professor T”) and produced by Ed King (“His House”). The series will film this fall with Jo McGrath and Walter Iuzzolino serving as executive producers.
“I am absolutely delighted to welcome James Nesbitt back to Channel 4 to take the lead in this gripping, visceral thriller,” Hollick said. “It’s a testament to James’ star power and Matt’s gripping scripts that ‘Suspect’ has attracted such a sensationally stellar ensemble cast.”
Sam will play “Ryan”, the victim’s godfather. Congratulations to him on the new role!
