I loved the relationship between Ianto and Jack in Torchwood. They had such good chemistry. And it was great to see a same-sex relationship between characters where it just wasn't an issue. In time, it will be like that for everyone. Nobody will care about the sex of the person you are with. Why should they?
People always ask me what it was like kissing John. I guess a lot of women and men want to do that. But really it's not sexy - there are 20 crew members watching for a start. For me, as a straight man, it's just like kissing an actress I wouldn't normally ne kissing. Its just part of the job.
The reaction to Iantos death wa overwhelming. Its very flattering to create a character people care about so much. I was amazed that the number of tweets about his death overtook thoses about Michael Jackson's.
Fans have raised about £12,000 for Children in Need to remember Ianto. It's a phenomenal amount. The people who set this up have done a brilliant job. People are still donating.
I can't see Ianto coming back though - not as he was. But it's sci-fi and anything can happen. Im happy to move on, but i'd be more than happy to go back for a guest spot. Maybe he could come back from a parallel gimension or a relation from the future
The death scene was really moving. Ianto died in Jack's arms and it was sad for us as actors too - we knew it was the end of an era.
I've been to Ianto's shrine which the fans set up outside the tourist information office in Cardiff where we filmed.I live in the city and it just keeps getting bigger, with messages from people from all over the world.
John Barrowman is larger than life. He's good to work with, great fun and brings out the best in everyone. He always kept the atmosphere light. And he loves to play practical jokes, you have to be on your toes.
I'm up for the sexiest male in the SFX Awards in the new year but I don't think I stand a chance. I'm up against John Barrowman and David Tennant. I've got a feeling this one's Davids. I'm also up for best death scene, i'm keeping my fingers crossed fo that one.
Torchwood fans are amazing. I'm a friend of James Marsters, who played spike in Buffy the Vapire Slayer, and he tells horror stories of what their fans get up to. we've never had that, people just chat.
I think you should follow your dreams. I always wanted to be an actor and was in Gwen Theatre School, when Neil Thinnock saw me in Macbeth, and gave me £250 to help pay for me to train. Torchwood was my big break.
Christmas is going to be very busy, i'm playing Prince Charming in Preston. I'll be working Christmas Eve and Boxing Day, but me fiance Gemma is with me so we will spend Christmas Day together.
We are getting married in November next year. I proposed to her in a country pub in Wales in the summer.
I'm really looking forward to 2010. I'm staring in a fill about love in Parrallel Dimensions, called Casimir Effects. I'm also in The Bill and I'll be playing with my heavy rock blues band, Blue Gillespie. That shoulod keep me more than busy.
