1. There Is Literally Nothing He Can't Do
OK, so you probably already knew this about John already, but it's worth pointing out again. He acts, he sings, he writes, he presents... you name it, the chances are he's done it. He really is a Jack of all trades which means that you never quite know for sure what he's going to take on next. There's literally nothing he can't do. Well, that's what it looks like, anyway. He's appeared on the stage and the screen (both big and small), done panto, released two autobiographies, presented his own entertainment shows, launched a children's fantasy book series with his sister and he still somehow finds the time to attend Torchwood conventions and campaign for human rights. At the moment he's playing Malcolm Merlyn in the TV series Arrow but, like the rest of us, he's probably just waiting for the phone to ring with the news that Torchwood has finally been picked up for its long awaited fifth season. In the meantime, though, the cast will soon be recording some new audiobooks to bring the team back together which is certainly better than nothing. Who knows what the future holds? What did you think of this list? Are there any other little known facts about John Barrowman that should have been included? Share 'em in the comments section below!
