Not just you! Very weird indeed!

Not the MOST convincing 'terrorist/murderer'

Mermaidspam · 21/06/2010 18:37

agreed

I thought that, too (but thought it was just me ).

I think it's because, although he's American (Canadian?) he's spent so much time here that - love him or loathe him - we kind of think of him as British now. So WTF is he doing in Fairview? He should be in Cardiff!

Don't worry CJcregg he will be back in cardiff soon as there will be a new series,though they have said they will be filming some of the series i America!

He is actually Scottish - born near Glasgow and moved to the US (midwest) as a child with his parents. He still speaks with a Scottish accent when with his family: he developed the US accent to cut down on the teasing/bullying he got as school in the US.

Definitely weird, I'm just sitting there watching him trying to be a big tough scary man, and all I see is him shouting 'Fabulous fabulous fabulous!!' at Jodie Prenger on that Nancy show

I usually see him in our local starbucks so is very weird to see him on DH

That's 'fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!', LifeofKate - but I know exactly what you mean. Or snogging Ianto and striding around in an oversized trenchcoat.

I have very mixed feelings about Barrowman. Love him in Torchwood and Doctor Who, and he's very funny when interviewed, but still can't forgive the insane Jodie-favouring and slagging off of beautiful talented Jessie. I actually shouted 'fuck off, you bastard' at the screen.

As you were
