In 1998, Burn Gorman began his acting career by taking a recurring role of Ben Andrews in the film, 'Coronation Street.'

Watching the scope of his work, Gorman often makes the complicated acting process seem easy, as he looses himself into the complicated (and almost shifty) characters he tends to portray.īurn Gorman continues to impress, and earn himself fans with the continuing intensity of his work. And for me as a critic, he’s very much evocative of an actor like Vincent D’Onofrio as he intensely looses himself in every role. Ooop!

However, as Torchwood played through, it became clear that this wasn’t the wrong situation. Burn Gorman is a smaller actor, not conventionally handsome, in the wrong situation, he could be easily forgettable.

As I watched through the first series of the sci-fi show, I found myself taking notice of the actor playing Owen.
Davis, Doctor Who spin-off, Torchwood, I initially went for John Barrowman (who I’ve fangirled over since his stage days).
