John Barrowman, MBE, was born on 11 March 1967 in Glasgow, Scotland (no, he's not to our knowledge a ViolentGlaswegian). His family moved to [[UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} Aurora, Illinois]] when he was 8, and his father was relocated there by Caterpillar. He picked up an American accent to avoid the torment other kids were leveling at him. Went to Joliet West High School as a teen where he performed in many school productions. Made his name as a [[TheMusical Musical Theatre]] actor/singer (there's an official recording of him as Raoul de Chagny in ''Theatre/ThePhantomOfTheOpera'' available); in 1998 he received an Olivier Award nomination for playing Calvin Chandler in ''Theatre/TheFix'' (he lost to co-star Philip Quast). He also presented UK kids' TV show ''Series/LiveAndKicking''. He had several minor TV and film roles, including {{Soap Opera}}s such as ''Series/CentralParkWest'' and ''[=Titans=]''.

It was during this time that Barrowman [[https://www.theguardian.com/media/2008/dec/02/bbc-radio exposed his genitalia]] during a live television interview on [=BBC1=], following the interviewer bringing up his habit of exposing his "willy" during interviews and parties[[note]]at one party Barrowman allegedly even used his genitals to play the piano[[/note]]. Barrowman promptly and happily obliged, pulling down his trousers in an attempt to expose his "fruit and nuts" - thankfully, nothing was caught on-camera, and both the interviewers and a spokesperson for [=BBC1=] apologised for the incident, saying "We do feel that the programme overstepped the mark. We acknowledge this and apologised at the end of the live programme." Barrowman himself later made a public apology, saying "I apologise for any offence I have caused. I was joining in the light-hearted and fun banter of the show and went too far. I was wrong to do this and it will never happen again. I really appreciate the great support I have received from the BBC over the last few years and would never intentionally do anything to undermine the integrity of the corporation."
During her time on Series/{{Torchwood}}, Creator/FreemaAgyeman [[https://www.digitalspy.com/showbiz/a90017/agyeman-stunned-by-barrowmans-quotchapquot/ spoke]] about how Barrowman had a habit of walking around with his genitals hanging out of his pants, saying that the regular cast seemed to find it normal behaviour and that it was "only the new people" who were "freaked out" by it. Creator/ElisabethSladen mentioned [[https://winteriscoming.net/2021/05/01/sexual-allegations-made-against-doctor-who-stars-rocks-uk-tv-industry/ during an interview]] "[He did not expose himself] to me. To everyone else, but not to me." Barrowman replied "Actually, I did get it out quite a few times, but she was looking the other way."
By this point, Julie Gardner (then executive producer of Series/{{Torchwood}}) had received a complaint about this behaviour and officially reprimanded Barrowman. She also spoke to other executive producers, Barrowman’s agent, and the head of BBC drama commissioning to "make it clear to both John and his agent that behaviour of this kind would not be tolerated […] To my knowledge, John’s inappropriate behaviour stopped thereafter". In a tribute video to Gardner and Russell T. Davies later that year, Creator/DavidTennant sang "Can’t block out, please lock out, images of Johnny B getting his cock out."
In 2010, he had a part on ''Series/DesperateHousewives'' as Patrick, a Neo-Terrorist, who had a rather "explosive" end.
In 2012, he appeared in the ComicBook/GreenArrow adaptation ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' in a recurring role as Malcolm Merlyn, the Dark Archer and leader of the Undertaking. He continues to appear on the show and [[Series/LegendsOfTomorrow its]] [[Series/TheFlash2014 spinoffs]], ping-ponging between omnipresent Big Bad and AntiVillain. According to Colton Haynes (Roy Harper) and Emily Bett Rickards (Felicity Smoak), Barrowman [[https://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/514256/John-Barrowman-naked-Arrow-Season-3 used to prank the actors]] by exposing himself to them between takes.
At a convention in 2014, Barrowman was [[https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/john-barrowman-doctor-who-noel-clarke-b1840218.html accused by]] former Series/DoctorWho costar Noel Clarke (Mickey Smith) of (again) regularly casually exposing his genitalia to co-stars and crew. He then went on to describe how Barrowman liked to physically touch people with his genitals, either by brushing up against their legs, or in one instance, walking up behind Camille Coduri (Jackie Tyler) while she was seated in her makeup chair and resting them on her shoulder for two minutes. When the panel moderator asked how Barrowman was allowed to get away with this sort of behaviour, Clarke, Coduri and Annette Badland (Margaret Blaine) all said Barrowman was "adorable", "light-hearted" and "non-threatening" (although Clarke did say that he believed Barrowman did not receive any backlash due to his sexuality). At another convention, Creator/EveMyles [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugcHyk4VyEI told a story]] about how Barrowman had once come up behind her and stuck his genitals in her hair rollers while she was wearing them, and another time took a prop she was about to use and shoved it up his behind as a prank.
Speaking of conventions, there are ''many'' fan accounts and videos of him mooning people at conventions (like in [[https://twitter.com/attitudemag/status/664449490292711424 an infamous cast photo]] for Series/{{Arrow}}) as well as pulling down his pants to expose his underwear during interview panels while the audience reacts with cheers and applause. It's also a bit of a running gag for Barrowman and fans to (consensually) grope each other during photos.
In 2015, he sparked controversy following his posting of a video where he [[https://www.themarysue.com/john-barrowman-disappoints-trans-fans/ used a transphobic term]], although he has since made more of an effort to be supportive of the transgender community, including saying [[https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a35665789/doctor-who-john-barrowman-trans-doctor-replacement/ he hoped]] the Doctor would one day be played by a transgender person.
In 2018, Barrowman was allegedly given a [[https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7779500/john-barrowman-no-flashing-im-a-celebrity/ warning]] by producers not to expose himself (or sing anything copyrighted) on the set of "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!"
The whole situation reached its boiling point in May of 2021, following Clarke's own far more serious accusations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviour. Shortly afterwards, the clips of Barrowman's behaviour resurfaced, and new details of his behaviour emerged after two (female) former crew members [[https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2021/may/07/noel-clarke-accused-of-sexual-harassment-on-doctor-who-set spoke of how]] one of Barrowman's favourite pranks was to ask someone to come to speak with him, and then greet them with his genitals hanging out of his trousers (he allegedly found people's uncomfortable reactions hilarious), and in another notable instance he "slapped" the windshield of a crew member's car with his genitals. Both crew members made a point to say that while his behaviour had made them extremely uncomfortable, they had '''never''' felt unsafe with him, and that once David Tennant joined the show, he had been able to rein in Barrowman's behaviour somewhat.
Backlash was immediate, with [[https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/14894868/itv-urged-to-axe-john-barrowman/ calls for him to be removed]] from his hosting role on ''Dancing On Ice'' (a [[https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a36391123/dancing-on-ice-john-barrowman-return-allegations/ statement]] from that production said "[the show] is not in production at present, [and as] such, on-screen talent won't be attached for the forthcoming series until closer to the time"). Barrowman publicly apologized again, saying he did not remember the incidents mentioned in the new allegations, his intentions had only been to make people laugh, and he sincerely regretted having ever made anyone uncomfortable. A few days afterwards, it was announced that due to the controversy [[https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/john-barrowman-doctor-who-time-fracture-accusations-newsupdate/ he would be removed]] from the special ''Doctor Who: Time Fracture'' live event.

In 2018, Barrowman was allegedly given a [[https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/7779500/john-barrowman-no-flashing-im-a-celebrity/ warning]] by producers not to expose himself (or sing anything copyrighted) on the set of "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!"
The whole situation reached its boiling point in May of 2021, following Clarke's own far more serious accusations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviour. Shortly afterwards, the clips of Barrowman's behaviour resurfaced, and new details of his behaviour emerged after two (female) former crew members [[https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2021/may/07/noel-clarke-accused-of-sexual-harassment-on-doctor-who-set spoke of how]] one of Barrowman's favourite pranks was to ask someone to come to speak with him, and then greet them with his genitals hanging out of his trousers (he allegedly found people's uncomfortable reactions hilarious), and in another notable instance he "slapped" the windshield of a crew member's car with his genitals. Both crew members made a point to say that while his behaviour had made them extremely uncomfortable, they had '''never''' felt unsafe with him, and that once David Tennant joined the show, he had been able to rein in Barrowman's behaviour somewhat.
Backlash was immediate, with [[https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/14894868/itv-urged-to-axe-john-barrowman/ calls for him to be removed]] from his hosting role on ''Dancing On Ice'' (a [[https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a36391123/dancing-on-ice-john-barrowman-return-allegations/ statement]] from that production said "[the show] is not in production at present, [and as] such, on-screen talent won't be attached for the forthcoming series until closer to the time"). Barrowman publicly apologized again, saying he did not remember the incidents mentioned in the new allegations, his intentions had only been to make people laugh, and he sincerely regretted having ever made anyone uncomfortable. A few days afterwards, it was announced that due to the controversy [[https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/sci-fi/john-barrowman-doctor-who-time-fracture-accusations-newsupdate/ he would be removed]] from the special ''Doctor Who: Time Fracture'' live event.

At a convention in 2014, Barrowman was [[https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/john-barrowman-doctor-who-noel-clarke-b1840218.html accused by]] former Series/DoctorWho costar Noel Clarke (Mickey Smith) of (again) regularly casually exposing his genitalia to co-stars and crew.

When the panel moderator asked how Barrowman was allowed to get away with this sort of behaviour, Clarke, Coduri and Annette Badland (Margaret Blaine) said Barrowman was "adorable", "light-hearted" and "non-threatening" (although Clarke did say that he believed Barrowman did not receive any backlash due to his sexuality).
