James Sheffield & Torchwood, oh my!
I was just minding my own business browsing through my flist when all of a sudden Doc yelled at me pointing at the TV screen, "Hey! Shouldn't you watch this?"
I turned and saw to my great surprise, Robert Vaughn, playing The Nanny's James Sheffield -- Sheffield Senior, Maxwell's beloved daddy. And I'm beginning to think the only reason they asked ( Read more... )

Yeah, Jack is immortal because...
In one episode (or two actually) in the first season, Rose and the Doctor are plagued by Daleks. The Doctor thinks it's too scary and sends Rose off in the TARDIS back to earth. But Rose doesn't want to, and in order for the TARDIS to listen to her/to override the things the Doctor locked, she looks into the heart of the TARDIS and the time vortex enters her body.
Meanwhile, Jack gets exterminated by the Daleks.
Dalek: "Exterminate!"
Jack: "yeah, I kind of figured you'd say that."
*ZAP!* Jack dead.

Rose, possessed by the Time Vortex, deletes the Daleks from excistence and ressurrects Jack, neither the Doctor nor Rose (whose memory was affected) seemed aware of his resurrection and left in the TARDIS, leaving Jack behind.
In the Children in Need mini-episode, Rose suggests to the recently-regenerated Tenth Doctor they go back for Jack. The Doctor, in turn, replies that Jack is busy "rebuilding the Earth". How much either knows about Jack's status is unclear; the Doctor's comment suggests that he either knows (or wants Rose to believe) that Jack survived, while Rose was not present when Jack died.

Me thinks that Jack's immortal-ness is from Rose resurrecting him with the Time Vortex, thus giving him Immortality because he certainly wasn't immortal before that.
[copied from wikipedia]A time traveller and confidence trickster from the 51st century, Jack first appeared in the Doctor Who episode The Empty Child and remained for the rest of the 2005 series as the third known companion of the Ninth Doctor. He is the first companion who is openly pansexual.
Jack was a former Time Agent who left the organisation after discovering that two years of his memory had been removed, going in search of them and becoming a con man.

I needed subtitles during the Owen scenes
Owen reminds me of Danny Blue from "Hustle" they talk with the same sort of dialect. Don't know which dialect though... you should ask one of the Brits!
Why is Jack American
Because he is? And John Barrowman grew up in America even though he was born in Scotland? NO idea... though... good point!
