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.

*grins* - yeah, I remember reading that when I looked him up on IMDB after I first watched "The Empty Child" back in S1.

I heard him do a *lovely* soft scottish accent just for a few moments when I was watching through The Friday Night Project episode he guest-hosted (vids are on Youtube if you want to track them down).

TFNP is so *very* not my kind of humour, but I found myself enduring it anyway for JB's segments. Partly, I think out of sheer amazement that if this appearance is to be believed, it's nigh impossible to tell the difference between Mr Barroman being Mr Barrowman, and Mr Barrowman being Jack. Then again, I'm not sure if this is because he's not acting at all when he's being Jack, or he's simply acting the same character no matter which cameras he's in front of...

But yeah... the Scottish accent of doom. Almost as lovely as hearing Mr Tennant speak in *his* native accent. Then again, I'm kind of biassed when it comes to Scots accents...

Heh. I've seen David Tennant's Friday Night Project episode, will have to go looking for John's...

There are 6 of them - each around 10 minutes. I got up to #4 before the conscience beast attacked, and I couldn't put off getting on with my assignment any longer.

I liked the slot where they brought in DT by videoconference... I get the impression those two get on *fairly* well :-)
