Dr Who / Torchwood actor John Barrowman

Postby KnuxTE » Tue Feb 09, 2010 6:13 pm

Probably one of the best actors I've come across in cinema would be John Barrowman. If you read the wikipedia on this actor, he was originally told to pretend being heterosexual on television from his first producer in the UK. When coming to America he was a candidate for Will and Grace, but the producer didn't hire him because they thought he acted too straight. So what show does he end up on, "Doctor Who" and "Torchwood." He flirts everything that walks on 2 feet weather it being female, male, alien, robot, or timelord. He plays Captain Jack Harkness- a role as a time travel space agency and then later Torchwood. The reason why I'm so astonished is because he acts like himself, he doesnt represent a stereotype we typically see displayed in gay/alternative cinema.

I'm not a fan of Torchwood, really. But I LOVED his first record Another Side. I also liked his last single "What About Us".
Ooh! Don't you feel edgy? Bite your lips and bleed.

I thought Torchwood was a good show. It definitely had that British quality to it.
