‘Outlander’ role a perfect fit for Irish star Balfe
Caitriona Balfe has become an overnight star in America with her leading role as the beautiful English heroine, Claire Randall, in the adaptation of the historical fantasy book series which has pulled in audiences of up to 8m across the Atlantic.
The major new period blockbuster, set to be aired on RTÉ Two tomorrow tonight, is already being billed as the feminist answer to Game of Thrones, thanks to her central role of the feisty World War One combat nurse.
