Middle Age Hollywood

John Barrowman has revealed he's asked Glee producers if he can play one of Rachel's gay dads.

The Torchwood actor hasn't had any further news about the part, however.

But he told Heat: "I have no idea if I'll be in it, I met with their casting people and I said I'd love to be in it - I'd be good as one of Rachel's gay dads!"

"The ball's in their court, though," he added.

John is hosting BBC1's Tonight's The Night and recently joined the Desperate Housewives cast as Angie Bolen's evil ex-boyfriend Patrick Logan.

John Barrowman's appearance on Desperate Housewives. How exciting. How revolutionary. How camp!

John Barrowman will embark on a U.K. concert tour later this year, beginning with an engagement on October 1 at Oxford's New Theatre. The 23-city tour will include a performance at Royal Albert Hall in London (October 4) and at Edinburgh's Playhouse (November 2).

Barrowman will be performing selections from his recently released self-titled CD, which features songs from Cats, Mamma Mia, Nine, Jersey Boys, and Mack and Mabel, among others.

Among his other stage credits are Company, Anything Goes, and A Few Good Men.

If you're an easily persuaded housewife/husband with an expendable income and a working telephone line, you may have just had the greatest afternoon of your entire life. Earlier today, John Barrowman – star of Torchwood, Desperate Housewives and that weird one-off special where he sang a bunch of showtunes in a field – was a guest on QVC. And he was magnificent.

Without exaggeration, hosting QVC was the job John Barrowman was born to do. He has his own QVC membership card. He owns everything that QVC sells. He even turned up at the studio dressed in QVC clothes. It was a monumental hour – whether he was demonstrating the best way to use the Glass Master cleaning accessories, or raving about the high threadcount in the Northern Lights duvet sets, or sealing his CDs in a Lock & Lock tub and then submerging them in water like some kind of Tupperware-based David Blaine, John Barrowman was on fire.

VILLAIN

John Barrowman is heading to Hollywood to play the 'bad guy' on TV hit Desperate Housewives.

The Torchwood and Dr Who star will guest star in several episodes on the long-running show about the goings on in fictional Wisteria Lane.

Barrowman, 42, will fly to Los Angeles early March to film with Desperate Housewives leading ladies Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria Parker.

Desperate Housewives creator Marc Cherry is keeping the plotlines involving Barrowman secret.

However, The Daily Mail can reveal that he will be the show's main villain in the last section of the current season, series six.

The show returned to British TV this week but has been running in the U.S. for months.

Episodes featuring Barrowman will be broadcast in the America later in the Spring and around May/ June in the UK.

Executive producer Cherry met with Barrowman last week after watching him in episodes of Torchwood.

He was very taken by Barrowman's Captain Jack Harkness character.

While he's in LA Barrowman will meet up with old friend Russell T .Davies.

Dr Who and Torchwood Writer Davies has been working in LA writing a Torchwood series for America's Fox TV. It will be a co-production between Fox and BBC TV.

Casting is way off. Barrowman will just being saying 'Hi' to Davies, not asking to be cast in the U.S. Torchwood.
