Happy 48th Birthday to John Barrowman!

So where were you the first time you saw John Barrowman?

I was in my old apartment in Long Beach, it was the mid-90s, and John appeared onscreen in the delicious but sadly short-lived CBS prime-time sudser Central Park West. He played a John F. Kennedy Jr. like character (until he killed his crazy tabloid reporter wife!) and I knew I had to see more of that man who turns 48 years old today.

About five years later, I even sat through every dreadful episode of NBC’s short-lived Titans just to see John who played a miserable drunk heterosexual character.

Since then, the TV roles have gotten better as John has starred as Captain Jack Harkness in the science fiction series Doctor Who and Torchwood and now stars in the CW’s Arrow as Malcolm Merlyn, the show’s version of the DC villain Merlyn and one of the series main antagonists.

I was thrilled to have finally met John a few months ago and do my first interview with him. You can read it HERE.

Happy birthday to this multi-talented actor, singer and dazzling personality.
