The problem with most leading men on sci-fi TV? They’re just too damn straight (Capt. Kirk, Fox Mulder, etc.).
Enter Captain Jack Harkness, the lead on BBC America’s Torchwood. He’s not just bisexual, he’s omnisexual, says John Barrowman. “He’ll shag anything with a hole,” he jokes. “If he fancies you, he’ll do it with you.”
A Doctor Who spin-off, the time-traveling Torchwood centers around feds investigating extraterrestrials. But
Captain Jack’s terra firma life is the reason the show’s such a hit. From steamy scenes with his former lover turned evil adversary Captain John Hart (James Marsters) to the budding romance with his colleague Ianto (Gareth David-Lloyd), Torchwood embraces its gayness with fervor.
Before his civil ceremony with his partner Scott of 16 years, Barrowman will finish filming the next season, which has been picked up by BBC America for the fall of 2009. Torchwood season 2 arrives on DVD September 16th.
