Tobias Menzies rejected for third role in Outlander

Tobias Menzies, known for his roles in Outlander, was considered for a third character, Alex Randall, but the show's producers decided against it. Executive producer Ronald D. Moore stated that casting Menzies in three roles was "a bridge too far." Menzies played Frank Randall and Captain Black Jack Randall in the series. The character Alex, who appears in the second season, was ultimately portrayed by Laurence Dobiesz, who resembles Menzies. Menzies will not return for Outlander's seventh season, which is currently available for streaming. He confirmed in a recent interview that fans will not see him reprise his roles.
