The Australian actor will play the former British soldier-turned-Ardsmuir Prison governor, who strikes up a dubious friendship with the incarcerated Jamie Fraser.

AceShowbiz - Starz's "Outlander" has found its Lord John Grey. Australian actor David Berry has been cast in the pivotal role of the former British soldier-turned-Ardsmuir Prison governor, who strikes up a dubious friendship with the incarcerated Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), in the upcoming third season.

According to EW which first reported the casting news, Grey is described as "a steadfast and honorable British subject, torn between a finely-honed sense of familial duty and a strong moral compass of right and wrong. He is boyishly handsome with an upper class rearing - the consummate gentleman. However, a scandal from his past has relegated Lord John to an undesirable position as governor of a desolate prison in Northern Scotland."

The third season will be based on "Voyager", the third novel in Diana Gabaldon's best-selling series. The last time we saw Claire (Caitriona Balfe), she returned to her life in 1948. Now pregnant, she struggles with the fallout of her sudden reappearance and its effect on her marriage to her first husband, Frank.

In the 18th century, Jamie suffers from the aftermath of his doomed last stand at the historic battle of Culloden, as well as the loss of Claire. Separated by continents and centuries, Claire and Jamie must find their way back to each other.

The fantasy drama series will return with season 3 in 2017, but the exact date is yet to be announced.
