For those of you who've read the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon (FYI, she's writing a new novel in the series) I believe a new contender for the Jamie character is Kevin McKidd.
You may know him as Lucius Vorenus in HBO's Rome, or as the new Doc on Gray's Anatomy--Did you see how he and Sandra Oh steamed up the screen? Hubba hubba...talk about chemistry!! He's got several things going for him: He's a Scott, relatively tall, great in a fight scene, does the rough 'n dirty look really well (am I drooling yet?). I don't know, maybe it's just me, maybe it's the intensity of his stare....whew...is it hot in here? OK, jus' sayin'....he could be great! Critiques? Commentary? What about nominees for the other characters?
