Lucifer actor Tom Ellis came close to starring opposite his good friend and Outlander star Sam Heughan in the popular Starz historical drama. Ellis spoke with Heughan in a Q&a interview for the London magazine Square Mile, covering their longtime friendship, as well as Heughan’s background, hobbies, and his break into acting. During the interview, Ellis revealed that he auditioned for Outlander before it premiered. “I’m going to let you into a little secret. I auditioned for Outlander, not for Jamie Fraser but for Tobias Menzies’ part, ‘Black Jack’ Randall,” Ellis confessed. “I remember reading the script thinking, ‘This is really good.'” The news came as a surprise to Heughan, who plays the aforementioned Jamie Fraser in the series. “Firstly, dude, I’m not sure how I’d have felt having you, I don’t know, ‘assault’ me, shall we say?” Heughan told his close friend.
