‘Torchwood’s John Barrowman AKA Captain Jack Harkness Joins CW’s ‘Arrow’!

Looks like Torchwood and Dr. Who fans just found a reason to tune in and check out Arrow!

EW is reporting that Captain Jack Harkness himself, John Barrowman has signed on to the new CW show for a recurring role during the first season.

Produces are being tight lipped about who Barrowman will play. All they will say is that he will be playing a “well-dressed man” who  “as mysterious as he is wealthy … he is an acquaintance of the Queen family and a prominent figure in Starling City.”

Of course he’ll play a well-dressed and mysterious man, it’s Captain Jack Harkness dammit! As to who is character will be I have no clue. I naturally assume that he will be a character from the Green Arrow continuity but seeing as I’m not a fan of Robin Hoo…I mean Green Arrow, I have no idea who he will be. Guess we’ll have to tune in to find out. Arrow debuts Wednesday, Oct. 10 on The CW.
