EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: John Barrowman on His Recent Marriage, TV Roles, Upcoming Projects, Comic Con, Sci-Fi Fans & More!

John Barrowman has been entertaining fans with his singing, dancing, acting and hosting skills for years. Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1967, he moved to Illinois and later studied Musical Theatre at International University in San Diego. In 1989, while in the UK to study Shakespeare, he landed his first professional role, starring as Billy Crocker (opposite Elaine Paige) in the Cole Porter musical "Anything Goes." Since then he has entertained theater audiences in the West End, on Broadway and even in his native Scotland.

On the big screen, Barrowman has appeared as the Lead Tenor in The Producers, as Jack in the Cole Porter biopic De-Lovely, and as he star of cult classic Megalodon: Shark Attack 3. He had a supporting role in the Oscar-winning film Zero Dark Thirty, and appeared in Vertigo Films' All Stars this year.

His most famous television role is of course Captain Jack Harkness, whose first appearance in the revamped DOCTOR WHO created such an impact that he was given his own spin off series, TORCHWOOD.

On TV, he's hosted TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT and KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT, and appeared in CENTRAL PARK WEST, TITANS, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, SCANDAL and the sexy new ARROW.

We Love Soaps (just barely) caught up with Barrowman as he and his husband, Scott Gill, were en route from In-and-Out Burger to San Diego Comic Con.

"The years I was doing TORCHWOOD and DOCTOR WHO it was a Captain Jack thing," he explained about his annual journey to Comic Con. "This time I'll be going as myself but also under the ARROW auspice. This year, with the books my sister (Carole E. Barrowman) and I have written, 'Hollow Earth' and 'Bone Quill,' we're doing stuff for that. I go as myself and whichever companies want to utilize me I open myself up for it and say, 'I'm ready.'"

Aren't sci-fi fans some of the most passionate, loyal, lifelong fans?

"Yes, and I can say myself because I'm one of those fans," Barrowman says. "I'm a fan of other sci-fi shows just as people are fans of mine from sci-fi stuff. They are the most passionate, and that's great for us as the actors. It means we've made an impact with the characters we've played, and the stories that the show has been bringing forward. It's a great thing."

REVENGE recasts Emily's mysterious revenge master, Satoshi Takeda
Due to the unavailability of the character's original portrayer, Hiroyuki Sanada, the part will now be played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. According to producer Melissa Loy, Sanada's jam-packed film schedule (including a role in the Hugh Jackman-led movie Wolverine) necessitated the change. "Geographically, with our schedule being what it is, it was getting a little bit challenging," Loy explains. "We would have had to fly him in and out of Australia [where Wolverine was filming], but [still] wouldn't have had him on the days we necessarily needed him. We tried to figure out a bunch of different scenarios, but ultimately it was too difficult."

Crystal Chappell blogs about the Melissa Reeves Chick-fil-A backlash
"I reached out to Missy and she responded several days later. She’s decided to not speak out and hope that the people who know her will trust that she didn’t intend to support an anti-gay corporation. I firmly believe she should speak…not only for the fans but for her friends. I read Greg Riikart’s article in the Huffington Post. I thought it was eloquent and spot on…with the exception of calling Melissa Reeves a bully. Although, I understand where it came from. Sometimes being too quiet after creating a shit storm can make you look more guilty. So, Ill pray that she speaks so you can know that person who has a genuine love for all people regardless of race, gender or sexual orientation."
