Before Sam Heughan made his TV debut as the dashing Highlander Jamie Fraser in Outlander, the Scottish actor actually auditioned for several roles on Game of Thrones. Both beloved adaptations of book series with fantasy elements, Game of Thrones and Outlander share brutal violence, historical flair, and lots of drama. In contrast to many fantasy shows, both Game of Thrones and Outlander usually focus more on drama and non-magical action. However, although Game of Thrones draws inspiration from the real-life Wars of the Roses, Outlander is a much more grounded historical fantasy, in which a time traveler is sent back to the 18th-century Scottish Highlands. Despite Game of Thrones marking the beginning of many successful careers, a debut on the fantasy show would have been very different for Heughan.
