JOHN BARROWMAN
He is easily one of the most familiar faces on British television and the West End stage. Best known for playing Captain Jack Harkness in the BBC series' Torchwood and Doctor Who, he has also been a judge on the award-winning BBC1 entertainment shows How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?, Any Dream Will Do and I'd Do Anything. More recently he has hosted his own primetime Saturday night TV extravaganza, Tonight's The Night and graced London's West End as Zaza in the Olivier Award-winning La Cage Aux Folles. John Barrowman recently announced he has accepted a role in the hit TV show Desperate Housewives and will start filming imminently. John Barrowman is representative of a man at the height of his powers, someone who can fill a song with the same chutzpah and style that he can a role on the West End stage. Simply put, he has never sounded better. 2010 is already promising to be a remarkable year for John Barrowman with a number of major projects confirmed. Watch him go global!
