David Berry Plays Lord John Grey On "Outlander" Season 3

One of the important roles to fill in the upcoming season three of "Outlander" is Lord John Grey. It has been reported that casting of the role has not been easy since it's a role that's quite hard to fill. However, the long wait is finally over, Australian actor David Berry will be playing the role.

Berry will be playing the new love interest of Sam Heughan in the upcoming season three of the series. He will be playing as Lord John Grey, the governor of a Scottish prison called Ardsmuir Prison, where he reconnects with Jamie whom he had an encounter with as a little boy. He tried to kill the latter during the Battle of Culloden.

However, the two characters will be developing a strong friendship during the time they spend together in prison. Lord John Grey is a handsome man with an upper class upbringing. However, he has a scandal in his past that has led him to the position of governor of a prison in Northern Scotland, where he reconnects with Jamie.

The fans were allegedly a little bit disappointed at first since they expected that the actor to play the role will be older than the actor David Berry. However, they have understood the need to cast a younger actor since there will be flashbacks of their timeline as well, especially during the second season finale where Claire travelled back to 1948.

Jamie and Claire are expected to reunite in the upcoming third season, however it will not be as romantic as expected especially since the time that they spent apart.
