Richard Rankin Hints At His Character's Funniest Scene in "Outlander" Season 3

In an interview given to the series' biggest fan group in Germany, Richard Rankin teased that Roger's most hilarious scene will be feature in "Outlander" Season 3. The actor interacted with a fan group called "German Sassenachs." Rankin who portrays the role of Roger Walefield, was in Germany and decided to answer their queries.

What must have come as a pleasant surprise to the actor, was when the group gifted him a bag of goodies. The gifts included a t-shirt with the fan group's logo on it and chocolates. Apparently, the actor freaks on chocolates and said that they will be finished by the end of the day.

Rankin also praised Diana Gabaldon, the author of the "Outlander" series for depicting Scotland and the people of the country so well. This is a great feat, as she did not even visit Scotland while penning the first book in this series. She did most of her research remotely.

The actor hinted that the most hilarious scene for his character will appear in the upcoming season. However, the actor did not elaborate on it but said he will speak on it further when the scene gets aired. The entire interview of the actor has been uploaded on the German fan group's YouTube channel.

"Outlander" Season 3 is slated to premiere in Sept. this year.
