Alec Newman (Barnabas) in photo from Children of Dune
Hmmm, interesting.
They're obviously going for a much sexier look than Frid or Cross. But given the target audience, I can't say that's a bad thing.
Here's a shot of "David" at the Finding Nemo premiere that I found/scanned from Entertainment Weekly:

What's funny is I was falling behind in my Tru Calling viewing and I just watched the tape of his appearance on that about 5 days ago. Who knew he would soon be Barnabas?
But from that appearance alone I can tell that he should make a good Barn because he can play tortured quite well, and that's a very necessary skill for the actor who plays Barn. (Be sure to check out this site's extensive screen captures from the episode.)
I have yet to watch his appearance on Angel. But hey, I can only catch up on one show at one time...
