"Outlander" Season 3 has already found its actor to play the role of Lord John Grey and now, the Starz time traveler series needs to find its young Ian.

"Outlander" Season 3 spoilers reveal that casting for the role of young Ian has already begun. In an interview with executive producer Maril Davis, she told Zap2It that the role of young Ian is her next favorite character next to Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan).
According to the executive producer, young Ian will play an important role in the upcoming seasons of the show beyond "Outlander" Season 3. This means that the actor who should be cast for the role should be someone who could do justice for the character.
This is the reason why "Outlander" Season 3 is taking caution when casting new characters and actors for the show. Since the Starz time traveler series is based on Diana Gabaldon's third book titled "Voyager," the show should find a perfect balance between the character from the book and its counterpart in reality.
In the case of Lord John Grey, Entertainment Weekly reported that David Berry has already been cast for the role in "Outlander" Season 3. Lord John is one of the most important characters for the next season, but fans expressed disappointment over the actor's casting.
Some fans noted differences in Berry's characteristics as compared to how they imagined Lord John from Gabaldon's books. Several expressed that this may be an indication that "Outlander" Season 3 will be different from Gabaldon's book.
