“Outlander” star Sam Heughan was born with a love of fantasy stories. His name even comes straight from “The Lord of the Rings” by JRR Tolkien!

As a mix of romance, drama, historical epic and science fiction, “Outlander” is extremely varied and is probably why it is so popular. Lead actor Sam Heughan, however, is enthusiastic about a completely different genre, as he revealed in an interview with Audible.
Heughan was born with a love of fantasy stories because his parents were big fans of JRR Tolkien and were part of the “Gandalf’s Garden” community, a London hippie movement. That’s why Sam Heughan was named after Sam from “The Lord of the Rings”, his brother Cirdan Heughan owes his name to an elf.

A fantasy role is therefore high on Sam Heughan’s wish list and the perfect project could already have been found with the Amazon series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”.
I still desperately want to be an elf or a dwarf. So if “The Rings of Power” is still looking for actors, I’m available! I even have a redhead wig if you’re interested.

Season 2 of “The Rings of Power” has already been filmed, but since a total of 5 seasons are planned, there is definitely enough time to accommodate Heughan in a small guest role – or even in a leading role. After “Outlander” Season 8, Heughan finally has a free schedule.
