Since then, tributes has rolled out from many of those McCardie worked with over the years. He was well known for the likes of Line of Duty and Time.

Who was Brian McCardie going to be in Outlander: Blood of My Blood?

McCardie had already appeared in the Outlander world during the first season of the series. He played Sir Marcus MacRannoch, the man who gave Claire and the MacKenzie men a place to hide as they figured out how to save Jamie. He also allowed his cows to be used to help with the ambush to free Jamie Fraser.

It turned out that Marcus once loved Ellen MacKenzie. That was his reason to help after initially making it clear that nobody could get a prisoner out of Wentworth Prison.

He was announced in another role for the prequel series Outlander: Blood of My Blood. He was going to take on the role of Isaac Grant in the prequel series, father to Malcolm Grant, who is a potential suitor for Ellen. It’s not clear how much he filmed and whether there is going to be some recasting at this time.
