Heughan started getting roles on television most actors land early on in their careers, such as Midsomer Murders, Doctors and River City.
He also appeared in numerous films including Young Alexander the Great, Emulsion and Heart of Lightness.
In 2014, he made his debut as Jamie in Outlander on at the time the little-known US network Starz.
Outlander was adapted from the best-selling novels of American writer Gabaldon and the show served as a launchpad for the star.
Since finding fame on Outlander, Heughan has been working non-stop and even doing projects when the drama is off-season.
His upcoming roles include An Unquiet Life, SAS: Red Notice and factual TV series Men In Kilts.
Outlander seasons 1 to 5 is streaming on Amazon Prime Video now
