I haven’t met CĂ©sar yet, but casting director Suzanne Smith has an uncanny ability to find people who are similar to their characters, which is interesting and a little scary in the case of Tobias (ahem). We know our beloved Fergus is very confident in himself, and even a little vain, so I chuckled at CĂ©sar’s first Q&A input today…
What do you like the most about me #fersali

(that was a tongue in cheek comment, btw, by all accounts CĂ©sar is a wonderful, humble (not vain) guy!)
On the Outlander fandom…

I'm a bit embarrassed but It will get better and I like that my girl has principles and stands for herself
— CĂ©sar Domboy (@CesarDomboy) November 27, 2017

When Lauren was asked if she’s learned any french from CĂ©sar, she said “Oui. I do an extremely accurate impression of his accent that i’m sure he would vouch for.”
He says she’s learned “not a word” ?
Pas un mot
— CĂ©sar Domboy (@CesarDomboy) November 27, 2017
When asked who’s the funniest, Lauren answered that they are both hilarious, but CĂ©sar says it’s Lauren…

On playing the scene when Jamie gives Fergus his surname….
Translation:
Q: Were you moved by doing this scene? Personally I cried at the “claudel fergus fraser.”
A: Serious I found it too beautiful I wanted it to be funny and light, but not between fergus and Jamie. What is happening in silence was too important and beautiful to play.
On the most difficult scene for CĂ©sar in S3…
Wedding ! Parce que je voulais que ça soit parfait et pleins de choses se jouait en mĂȘme temps
— CĂ©sar Domboy (@CesarDomboy) November 27, 2017

I had the opportunity to meet Cesar at the Gathering on the Ridge last summer in the North Carolina mountains, hosted by Novel Adventures. I would not call him vain at all. He was charming, and spent time with most of the women who were there. He was with us for four days, and I never saw any signs of a diva. He was very interested in participating in all our classes, etc., and went to the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games as our guest.
That comment was tongue in cheek. From all reports (including yours) he’s a very sweet guy. Seems like that was a fun event too – thanks for your comment đ
