The face of James Bond franchise would have been so different had Amazon's 'Outlander' hero Sam Heughan bagged the role. The handsome red-haired Scottish actor had auditioned for the James Bond remake when Pierce Brosnan departed the franchise following 'Die Another Day' in 2002. "I did audition for Bond a long time ago when they were redoing it with Daniel Craig when he was Bond 21," Heughan said on 'Live With Kelly and Ryan,' the Radio Times reports.
