OMG! Okay, yes, still Brothers & Sisters. But. But!
"While the producers were looking for an actor to play the role of Jason McCallister (Robert McCallister's brother and Kevin Walker's love interest), Rob Lowe, who plays Robert McCallister, recommended John Barrowman, who had costarred with Lowe in "A Few Good Men" on the London stage. The producers offered the role to Barrowman, and he was interested in taking it, but was ultimately unable to work the shooting schedule around the schedule for his own show, Torchwood."

This is the part where I confess that I am totally shipping Jason/Kevin in a seriously hardcore way! They are SO AWESOME. And I could have had John Barrowman playing Jason! JOHN BARROWMAN!!! I could have had John Barrowman and Matthew Rhys sucking face!!!!! JOHN BARROWMAN! Maaan. What a drag.
Okay mind you, the dude who ended up playing Jason is totally hot, too. And he's doing a good job. But. Just. John Barrowman!!

(Yes, I can always console myself with the fact that I have John Barrowman and Gareth David-Lloyd sucking face on Torchwood and that their sucking is way harder than the close-mouthed, harmless "sucking" I get to see on Brothers & Sisters.)
I'm gonna watch some more B&S now. I'm not sleeping all that well recently. And the only good thing about that is that I can watch lots and lots of Brothers & Sisters while failing to sleep. Watched five episodes yesterday. Am on my third today.
