We take a look at the life and career of Outlander star Graham McTavish.
Graham McTavish has had a successful career spanning over multiple decades but is now best known for his role as Dougal MacKenzie in Outlander.
Despite having a place at university, Graham got in touch with the principal at RADA to see if he was good enough to get into the school. He continued: "They wrote back and they said, 'Yes, the principal has agreed to give you this special audition.' I’ve still got the letter actually. Then I went in and I did it, and at the end of it, he said, “Well, if you were applying to RADA, you would definitely get through to the next round. Beyond that, it’s difficult to say at the moment.
Since then, the two have co-written three books together, 'The Clanlands Almanac: Seasonal Stories from Scotland', 'Clanlands: Whisky, Warfare, and a Scottish Adventure Like No Other', 'Clanlands in New Zealand: Kiwis, Kilts, and an Adventure Down Under', as well as filmed two seasons of their travel show Men In Kilts.
“Graham plays these characters who are quite masculine, quite aggressive. He’s a character. He’s well built. But in real life Graham is a total teddy bear and extremely nervous around dangerous things. The joy of Men in Kilts was getting him to do things that he didn’t want to do.”
