EW has learned exclusively that U.K. actor Colin McFarlane (The Dark Knight) has been cast as Ulysses, the butler of the River Run plantation in North Carolina. As readers of Diana Gabaldon’s best-selling Outlander novels are aware, Ulysses is a well-educated and musically inclined man who was sold into slavery when he was young. He’s acquired by Hector Cameron and becomes the trusted servant of Hector’s wife, Jocasta.
Maria Doyle Kennedy (Orphan Black) will assume the role of Jocasta, who is also Jamie’s aunt.
