Listening to a recent episode of Doctor Who, I was pleasantly surprised to hear the voice of

. Jack Harkness. As any long time DW fan knows, Jack is immortal but not possessed of eternal youth. The actor portraying him, John Barrowman, obviously is a real person subject to normal human aging. What does he look like 18 years on?
Heavily made up.
Which totally fits in character with Jack.
Ever so slightly chunkier but still groovy.
He looks a lot like Malcolm Merlyn.
I’m not sure who that is, and I’m far too lazy to Google at the moment. Is that the character he was playing on arrow a few years back?
Across several shows in the Arrowverse and in the most recent season. A lot more episodes than he did on Doctor Who and Torchwood combined.
Well, that explains my ignorance. I decided sight unseen (ha) never to watch arrow. It bugged me for some reason. I did hear a familiar voice when passing by an episode one day, but I could never be arsed to follow up.
Anyone who communicates information to the effect that I would be really happy if only I knew what Melissa Benoist looks like will be slapped with a trout specially specially caught for that purpose…
Frankly, you’re missing out more by not seeing Stephen Amell do pull ups.
BTW, do you use the descriptive audio track when listening to TV shows? I stumbled on one by accident some years back. (Not that it would have helped answer your question here.)
Not often. Generally I find it annoying, and for science fiction/superhero movies it is worse than nothing. I can still see a tiny bit and watch TV on the iPhone if a loan or, if I’m with somebody, listen with my eyes closed while they watch on a bigger screen. (Bigger screens are too bright for me to look at directly.) In the case of the Judoon episode, I could not see enough detail of Barrowman’s face to tell how he has aged no matter how close the phone was to me.
The real-life Barrowman has let his hair go naturally grey, and it really kinda looks good on him.
Dude, “divorced” doesn’t mean that I’m changing teams.
