10 Actors Who Will Never Escape Their Doctor Who Roles

7. John Barrowman

The only reason John Barrowman will never be able to escape Captain Jack Harkness is because he never stops bloody talking about him. In fact, the actor/singer/author/presenter/you-name-it-he's-done-it recently admitted that he's the only person keeping the memory of everybody's favourite omnisexual Earth defender alive at the moment. He brings it up in every interview to affirm that he'd return "at the drop of a hat", a quote that has now become more overused than Steven Moffat's continuity convulsing mantra of "time can be rewritten". Seriously. Why doesn't John just put it as his email signature already?! Actually, he probably has. Still, he's keeping himself busy until he gets that long awaited comeback call. He's just released his 7,000th album of covers and is also currently starring in Arrow as the powerful and wealthy business Malcolm Merlyn, a role that is basically like Jack Harkness apart from the fact he isn't trying to have sex with everything that moves. It's only a matter of time, though.
