Barrowman reacts to US 'Torchwood' plans	Login to vote
John Barrowman has said that he doesn't want his Torchwood character's sexuality to be reversed in the US version. According to Entertainment Weekly, the American remake of Torchwood has plans to make his Captain Jack role straight. "I hope wherever [the franchise] goes that the show stays the same," said the actor. "The last thing I would want would be for Jack to become this heterosexual, straight hero. He's an omnisexual guy. He likes men, women, aliens, whatever. I think we should continue going down that route." The star added that any effort to change Captain Jack's sexual orientation would need to involve a "big discussion" between creator Russell T Davies and his producing partner Julie Gardner. As for additional information about the spinoff, Barrowman claimed that he only knows what has already been reported, including that Fox has commissioned Davies to write the pilot.
