Torchwood fans: Happy birthday, John Barrowman

[HillWilliam]

Rob and I are big Torchwood fans. What's not to like: action, sci-fi, blowing sh*t up, and an out-gay character played by an out-gay man.

Mini Biography

John Barrowman was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and moved to the U.S. with his family when he was eight. He first lived in Aurora, Illinois, then his family moved to Joliet. He attended Joliet West High School, where his father worked at the Caterpillar head office. He attended DePaul University for a short while, but left when he was told that he had to become an opera singer, when he wanted to be a musical-comedy performer in musical theater.

He returned to the UK for a Shakespeare semester with United States International University of San Diego, but left to star in the musical production of "Anything Goes," with Elaine Page. He later went on to star in "Miss Saigon," "Matador," "Rope," and "Hair" at London's West End.

Barrowman has homes in London and Cardiff, Wales with his partner of many years, Scott Gill, who is an architect.

1. I loved Torchwood

And as a straight woman, I also loved Captain Jack but I have to admit that I thought Ianto Jones was not enough of a “bad boy” for him. Although, I did enjoy his all too brief encounters with Captain John Hart.
