His father, also called John, was the first non-American boss of the giant Caterpillar firm in the US.<br /> <br /> Star Barrowman, 40, who considers himself a Scot, moved to the States with his family when he was eight. <br /> <br /> But despite his upbringing he said he was taught the importance of work after being made to do labouring. He said: &quot;My dad made my brother and sister and myself do manual labour. <br /> <br /> &quot;He said, 'If you want to do manual labour for the rest of your life you'll know that when you do, it's a choice'.&quot; <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Barrowman's sci-fi series, Torchwood, where he plays Capt Jack Harkness, is set to be shown on BBC America this week. And the Doctor Who actor is hoping the exposure will lead to a Hollywood role.<br /> <br /> He added: &quot;I'd love to do a major part in a film, that would be a dream and a goal.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> Caption: COAL ROLE: Barrowman<br /> <br /> }}</div>
