Barrowmaaaaan!!!

This is a great article, especially when you consider the writer apparently either doesn't know much about JB, or is writing the piece for people he knows doesn't know much about JB. And JB comes across, once again, as a real sweetheart.

He souunds like such a nice guy, seriously.

[kaffy_r]

I know, right? He's this endearingly garish, loud, but still thoughtful guy who feels genuine despite all his theatrical bombast.

Barrowman makes a surprisingly good bad guy (in Arrow). He almost commits acting! And FWIW my friends wot I've mentioned before, who roadie for fan convention guests, say he is a truly nice man.

Also, his bit in that Five Doctors Reboot was the best!gag!ever! :D

It's always a wonderful to discover that a public figure has real life good qualities. Refreshing, really.

I trust your judgement on his work in Arrow; I probably won't get the chance to make my own judgement, since the DC television titles haven't grabbed me.

And, yes, I completely agree about the Five Doctors Reboot. *snrk*

Awww :)

I know; he's really quite a lovely guy, isn't he?

Amazing! :D

Heh - glad I could show this to folks. I really need to remember how to do permalinks, because this story will disappear after a bit, and it's worth keeping around a long time.

Barrowman! :D

(JB mentions are always good.)

[kaffy_r]

Yup - he's just such a breath of fresh air (and I need an icon of him laughing, not just this very srsbznz icon)!

Such a *sweetie*. From what one reads of David Tennant he's very much the same. So aware of just how much a very small moment for them might mean for a fan, and not at all disdainful of fandom, in fact embracing the enthusiasm and the geekery. Love love love...

[kaffy_r]

I agree totally about Tennant: he may not have been my favorite Doctor, but he, himself, appears to be a truly lovely human being. And, of course, he's a fan himself - which I think is part of what makes Barrowman so lovely as well. If you're a fan, you're going to connect with fandom, and without the embarrassment or disdain that some actors can't disguise.

Good guys, FTW!
