I haven’t met César 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 César’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 César is a wonderful, humble (not vain) guy!)

On Marsali’s lines…
"What's a eunuch?" 🤔😂

How does Fergus feel about Marsali’s attitude toward Claire?
I'm a bit embarrassed but It will get better and I like that my girl has principles and stands for herself

When Lauren was asked if she’s learned any french from César, 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
— César Domboy (@CesarDomboy) November 27, 2017
When asked who’s the funniest, Lauren answered that they are both hilarious, but César 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 César in S3…
Wedding ! Parce que je voulais que ça soit parfait et pleins de choses se jouait en même temps
— César Domboy (@CesarDomboy) November 27, 2017

A:Wedding! Because I wanted it to be perfect and full of things being played out at the same time
On the that famous scene with Father Fogden…
Honestly it was nothing. First I knew the scene so wasn't so surprised but mainly I was Fergus at that moment. So quite in a deep mood

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 🙂
