Found this blogpost doing a search for John Barrowman, but just happened to notice a significant omission in your Top Ten list while I was here. You’ve got two RoS characters on there (one of whom is the “blond impostor” 😉 – Jason Connery) but no sign of the original Robin of Loxley: Michael Praed. *sigh* Now HE was a great Robin of Sherwood, IMHO. 🙂
I put this list together a little too quickly perhaps. You’re right. The other Robin should have been on it, though I wouldn’t call Huntingdon/Jason Connery an impostor. I think I missed a couple of other favorites too.
