John Barrowman: Mascot of the Month



John Barrowman is an actor about to star in "Torchwood" a Sci-Fi show on BBC America in September. He had a five or six episode arc on Doctor Who Season 1, and he was so popular that he is the star of a follow on series.

John is a Scotsman / American (dual citizenship). I first saw him in London in Miss Saigon. He was in the cast because they could bring him to the US when the show opened without any problems. He has also been in the West End in Company and Sunset Boulevard. (John's Site)




John has done some amazing work on Broadway and screen.

Here he is in Miss Saigon with (a much thinner and younger) Lea Salong.

He was in the movie "Delovely" and "The Producers" as well as others. And now he is Captain Jack in Torchwood. Torchwood starts on September 8th.

And this is Scott Gill, his partner of 16 years. John is a pretty big star in England and his civil ceremony was news on the BBC. Scott is an architect in Scotland.
