Is it his hair? I said on another thread, I thought it was Dave Spikey doing an American accent.

Wendyasbury · 16/12/2019 12:11

No. He was "singing" ahem...

He’s a Broadway/West End actor who was also Captain Jack Harkness in Torchwood.

IhateBoswell · 16/12/2019 12:24

He's very "jazz hands" and theatrical, definitely an acquired taste Xmas Grin

ElluesPichulobu · 16/12/2019 12:41

Can anyone post a link to what caused this exclamation?

Patroclus · 16/12/2019 15:50

What accent is he using today?

AhoyMrBeaver · 16/12/2019 16:32

I saw him years ago in Miss Saigon, and he was brilliant. He used to be good on children's Saturday morning TV too (Live and Kicking I think it was then).

He's an absolute pain in the arse when he's being interviewed though. So full on, and he's got a chronic case of jazz hands.

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 16/12/2019 16:38

How can anyone not know who he is?! Oh and it's John Barrowman lol.
Used to be on kids telly in the 90s, he's Captain Jack in Dr Who, a baddie in Desperate Housewives in I'm A Celeb Get Me out of Here last year....
Love him.
Why what the fuck, what was the interview about?
Was he just being loud as that's normal lol
If he was being

WotchaTalkinBoutWillis · 16/12/2019 16:39

Random half sentence at the end there Confused

Wendyasbury · 16/12/2019 16:42

I love his new grey hair

ParadiseLaundry · 16/12/2019 17:03

Does anyone remember that series of Desperate Housewives where they spent the who series mentioning this terrifying, evil bad-ass gangster who had done terrible things? Then he was in the series at the end and he was played by none other than.... John Barrowman GrinGrinGrin

I actually had to double check that that was true before I typed this as it seemed SO ridiculous I thought it might have been a really weird dream!

SheepSocks · 16/12/2019 17:13

I've had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting him. Mr "don't you know who I am?"

Actually no I didn't, and no I don't care.

SapatSea · 16/12/2019 19:09

I saw him on the lunchtime "news", given lots of time as he had invited "the lonely pensioner" to his (not sold out) Christmas concert. The pensioner gave him a rainbow rug and he said wow! must put that in ONE of the HOUSES.

EnidButton · 16/12/2019 19:12

He's one of the nicest people in the world! Wtf? Defintely doesn't deserve a slating.

Disfordarkchocolate · 16/12/2019 19:22

I watched the video of him singing. I thought it can't be that bad I know he can hold a tune. How wrong can you be. It was terrible, and his suit was even worse. I think he should go back to saying his hair.

QueenOfTheFae · 16/12/2019 19:24

I have heard that he is not a nice person to work with, very much "do you know who I am"
