John Barrowman to tie knot...

I first spotted John Barrowman more than 10 years ago on the short-lived CBS sudser "Central Park West" which had him playing a JFK Jr. type character who ends up killing his awful wife. I was pretty smitten with him and still am but, sadly for me and others, the out British actor is off the market. AfterElton.com reported today that Barrowman, currently starring in the BBC’s sci fi show "Torchwood," is set to marry his partner Scott Gill December 27th in Wales.

You see, John Barrowman isn't just a handsome, talented actor, but he is also a stage and recording star who can REALLY sing and dance. And he's a gay man so talented that he just keeps working and working in every medium from leading roles in such West End musicals as "Anything Goes" and "Sunset Boulevard" and in the U.S. films "DeLovely" and "The Producers." His CDs include "John Barrowman Swings Cole Porter" and "John Barrowman: Aspects of Andrew Lloyd Webber."
barrowman4.jpgThe last time Barrowman appeared as a regular in a U.S. series was in 2001's short-lived "Titans," an NBC sudser with Victoria Principal, Perry King and others. His current series "Torchwood" is a spin-off of the popular UK series "Doctor Who" and Barrowman plays bisexual intergalactic con man Captain Jack Harkness.
Congratulations to John and his lucky future hubby Scott!!!

I loved him in "DeLovely" but didn't know he had a CD out. I'll have to find a copy.

Congratulations to them indeed, it's really sweet! Unfortunately though, the article you got your info from got Scott's name wrong. He's actually called Scott Gill.

The 2 of them did an interview for Attitude magazine last year, which you can see here:
