Noted actor, born in Glasgow, Scotland, commences his life journey in Joliet, Illinois, where he spent his formative years. Subsequently, he makes a return trip to the United Kingdom for a six-month Shakespeare-themed semester with the esteemed United States International University of San Diego, only to depart from his academic pursuits to take on a starring role in the musical production of "Anything Goes," alongside the renowned Elaine Paige. This marked the beginning of a fruitful career, with subsequent performances in notable productions such as "Miss Saigon," "Matador," "Rope," and "Hair" at the iconic London's West End. Today, Barrowman resides in both London and Cardiff, Wales, reflecting his strong ties to both cities.
