Before Outlander, the 41-year-old actor starred on A Prince for Christmas, which originally debuted in 2011.

A Prince for Christmas follows the story of Jules Daly who becomes the legal guardian of her teenage nephew and niece after the death of their parents. One day Jules finds out that her late sister was married to nobility. She and the kids receive an invitation to go to Europe to meet Edward, their grandfather, and spend the holidays together.

Jules was reluctant at first but realized later on that the kids need to know who their family is. Unfortunately, Edward regrets inviting them to his house since Christmas has become a reminder of his son’s death. But there she also meets Ashton, and they fall in love with each other.
