Don't hide, says John
Openly gay actor John Barrowman, who plays dashing Captain Jack in Doctor Who and its spin-off series Torchwood, pities any performers who feel they have to hide their true sexuality.
He tells The Stage: “If it [being gay] has been a problem, no one ever told me so. I know people who lie about being gay because they think it will affect their work chances. That is just sad."
