He is American! John Barrowman was born in Scotland and grew up in America - that's the accent he has in everyday life.
He moved from Glasgow to Joliet in '76 (aged 8) and didn't return to the UK until 1990.

Blame Illinois I say.

ETA - my apologies. It turns out his accent has been described by other people as Mid-Atlantic. It is true that this is how he speaks usually, except when he is with his family. I'm sure they can tell his Glaswegian accent isn't quite pukka either!
