WTF John Barrowman is _Scottish_???!

Was this a big duh to everyone and I'm just slow on the uptake? I heard he was British but raised in the States, hence the accent.

Glasgow. Yeah, I was trawling YouTube and found a clip where he's doing some interview and slips into and out of the Scots and they're like, "and that's your real voice?" I've noticed sometimes that his American accent almost sounds _too_ American, like he's trying too hard or something. Especially on r's. Muaha, now we know why.

Heh - I spent *way* too much time yesterday caught by JB videos on Youtube, listening to the pretty. I so prefer the Scots accent to the American one. I swear, when he does that, I could happily listen to him read the phone book (oh, how our opinions of people change!)

If you're looking for other interviews where he does the accent (and explains why his partner, Scott, doesn't like it when he does!), check out the Charlotte Church interview (I think it's #2 of 3 or something)... gods, we're talking serious linguistic-pretty...
