Mark Waid Interviews John Barrowman, Part 2

In the first of CBR TV’s 3-part interview between Mark Waid and John Barrowman, the acclaimed comic book writer and mega-popular “Torchwood” star bonded over a shared love of geek culture, namely Mego action figures and meeting Stan Lee.

In this, our second installment, the pair return to their childhoods, reminiscing about life as a kid and the messages they’d leave their 10-year old selves if they could. The actor also looks back at his family upbringing and career path as he and Waid discuss the difference between ego and self-confidence before Barrowman delves into his personal life, relating the undeniably unusual way he met — and was initially afraid to ask out — his partner of (around) 18 years.
