‘ARROW’: JOHN BARROWMAN ON MALLM’S MANIPULATN AND FDG THE NEXT GAY ACTN HERO
Actor John Barrowman, who mak no secret that he’s gay, is out of a job and none too happy about . Barrowman recently turned 50, and as Gay Star News reported, he plans to rema active on social media and is workg on updatg his tobgraphy for a release the U. Works seem hant to center a show around a gay actn hero even after the succs of “Torchwood.
“Torchwood” is the only mastream show I n thk of that featur an openly gay or bisexual male actn hero — even a after the character ma his but on “Doctor Who. You’ve got shows that are still g out, and I love the fact that Amerin televisn do have, per pa, the most gay men — and gay women — reprented on televisn, but they’re all a stereotype, they’re all the same.
And I don’t mean this a bad way, but [the gay characters are] all kd of effemate, and we’re not all like that. I know that “The Flash” is featurg at least two gay characters this season — David Sgh (Patrick Sabongui) and Hartley Rathaway, aka the Pied Piper (Andy Mient) — and I appreciate that executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg clearly thk about beg clive.
