That could come into play as well in his decisions. She helped his friend in the last season when he had the hernia, so he’s seen firsthand how useful something like that is and how rare in this new land. He would probably find Claire very useful, being a doctor. I mean at the end of the day he could just take their land away, which would just push everyone out, whether they liked it or not. If you’re a threat to Jamie, you’re probably a threat to everybody. But let’s not forget it can be taken away by Tryon in a split second. So, how are we feeling about Tryon having a hold over the Fraser family? I know the season 5 premiere gave us a very safe feeling of home with Fraser’s Ridge. The tension between them is palpable it’s like they’re both ready to pounce but being incredibly smart about it. I do love how Townie and Sam Heughan (Jamie Fraser) play off each other in every scene they have together. They play that game very stealthily and beautifully. They both know what each other could take away. After recent historical events, in their DNA, in their bones, they don’t trust each other. He just doesn’t trust him anyway because he’s a Scot. To be honest with you, I don’t think he does have an inkling about Jamie and Murtagh.
He really won’t know from now on, but does Governor Tryon even notice that Jamie might be lying? Especially because Jamie does know where Murtagh is, or at least he did until the season 5 premiere.

His plots and plans become more elaborate, more enthralling because the stakes become much, much higher as the series goes on, which makes it a very exciting prospect. He’s endearing in some ways, but there’s a lot of more of the same. He’s probably done it his entire life to get to where he’s got to. We’ll get there under no uncertain terms, be that standing on people or be that using people. He’s had an end goal that he is very keen on pursuing. I’m so glad Downie answered one of the questions that’s been on my mind for a while: Why the heck is Tryon so chill with Jamie? I mean yes, he’s been giving him orders and expects him to get things down, but isn’t he too chill? They would’ve known that, and they would’ve had a huge sense of us and them, and just not caring about anything else. If you weren’t a part of that, then chances are you were poor or indentured in some way. He is coming from money, being in a time where there was a very much of a social elite. He’s had enormous ramifications for the sculpting of a new country and what happened to England after that. And that’s quite exciting and not to be taken lightly.
The actions he did were real, and they have real consequences in the real world. He was a complicated guy in the midst of a big change, and there was a lot to unpack: Thanks for that quick history lesson, Town and Country Magazine!ĭownie is aware of the history, too, and did his homework to bring Tyron to life. He lived in North Carolina and really was a Governor. Who wouldn’t relish it?įYI: Governor Tryon is a real historical figure, which I honestly didn’t know until I read this interview. But it is enormous fun being given that chance to play someone so Machiavellian and twisted and power-hungry. Being English, being a Redcoat, being slightly threatening to Jamie, I mean, all of these things will pretty much have you thrown under a bus. And actually the fans have been incredibly generous considering, for all intents and purposes, I am the devil incarnate.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, actor Tim Downie is well aware of the reputation Tryon has among the fans, and he’s here for it: Black Jack Randall and Stephen Bonnet top that list, but Governor Tryon is about to join them. Over the course of Outlander, we’ve had some pretty horrendous villains. But their latest request for Jamie, which involves killing Murtagh, is what really makes us despite the guy. He’s a Redcoat responsible for making sure Jamie is doing his due diligence on the land the Crown has so graciously given him. He’s basically the worst, and his name is Governor Tryon. Well, he’s not exactly new since we met him in season 4, but it seems like he’s going to be a much bigger part of the series this season.
