Happy Birthday John Barrowman! He started his theatrical career with Cole Porter’s Anything Goes in 1989. One of his earliest series was the drama Central Park West (1995-1996), created by Darren Star, playing Peter Fairchild. He played another Peter, Peter Williams, in Titans (2000-20001), not a superhero team, but a drama set in Hawaii. Barrowman’s early genre film was Shark Attack 3: Megalodon (2002). He was the Lead Tenor in the adaptation of the Mel Brooks’ musical, The Producers (2005). Barrowman first appeared as Captain Jack Harkness in “The Empty Child” (2005) episode of Doctor Who. Jack Harkness is a fan favorite and wrapped up his Tardis time with ”The End of Time: Part Two” (2010).
He was also featured in Torchwood (2006-2011). In 2006, he started as a judge on the Andrew Lloyd Weber show, How Do You Solve a Problem like Maria? He co-wrote his autobiography, Anything Goes, (2008) with his sister, Carole Barrowman. John Barrowman wrote the first issue of the Torchwood (2010) comic book with art by Tommy Lee Edwards. Then, he co-wrote with Carole Barrowman the fantasy book, Hollow Earth (2012). Barrowman was Jeremy in Zero Dark Thirty (2012). He had another fan favorite role as Malcolm Merlyn in Arrow (2012-2018). Malcolm Merlyn was also in Legends of Tomorrow (2016-2017).
