John Barrowman only uses his Scots accent on the phone to his mum! he moved to Illinois (hope Is spelt it right) as a young man, and was teased about his accent so set about changeing it.
hes a fantastic actor/ singer/dancer , who despite his accent has never forgotten his Scots roots, he "married" his partner in a civil ceremony last year in a PC and the Kilt.
