Doctor Who Cast: Where Are They Now?

First introduced towards the end of the revival's debut series, John Barrowman made himself a household name with his witty portrayal of intergalactic con man Captain Jack Harkness. He was so popular, in fact, that he was quickly given the lead in his own spin-off show, Torchwood, targeted at an older audience.

Barrowman has returned to Doctor Who several times, twice in the Tenth Doctor era for the Series 3 and Series 4 finales. He also made a brief cameo in The End of Time Part 2, David Tennant's final regular episode.

Fans will also likely need little reminder of the fact that he recently returned again for the Series 12 episode, 'Fugitive of the Judoon' and once more in the 2021 New Years Day special 'Revolution of the Daleks'. No doubt that he will be making yet another appearance before too long.

Outside of Doctor Who, Barrowman has largely made his name presenting light entertainment shows such as Tonight's the Night and Dancing on Ice. DC devotees will also recognise him for his appearances as Malcolm Merlyn, aka the Dark Archer, on both The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow.
