Dougray Scott: Gruff, gravelly-voiced macho man gets tied up a lot, plays four gay guys...no, three...wait, just one. With Denton and Lucas nude

We're watching Batwoman (2019-22), with Bruce Wayne's cooler cousin Kate Kane taking over the cowl.  Dougray Scott plays her father Jacob Kane, whose ICE-like Crows "protect" Gothan City instead of the police. Jake is perfectly accepting of his daughter being a lesbian, but virulently anti-superhero, so she is unlikely to come out as the Bat. Her ex-girlfriend Sophie, now in a lavender marriage, happens to be Jake's chief officer, so when he orders "find Batwoman, and shoot to kill," she's conflicted.

It gets more complicated: when Kate was twelve years old, Mom and sister went over the bridge into the Gothan River.  Sister survived, but was imprisoned by a face-extracting serial killer for 11 years before emerging as the "Why did you stop searching for me?" supervillain Alice.  You know, the one with the Cheshire Cat, the Queen of Hearts, the magic mushroom.....

Well, let's not go down that rabbit hole.  I'm more interested in seeing the gruff, gravelly-voiced macho man tied up.  Which he is, a lot.  And maybe checking out his gay roles and beneath-the-belt equipment.

Dougray is Scottish: he was born in Glenrolthes, about an hour by car from Edinburgh, in 1965.  After secondary school he attended the Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff, and started his career on the West End.  His plays include Beckett, Welcome Home, The Power and the Glory, The Rover, This Island's Mine, and most recently Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

His on-screen acting begins with episodes of tv series like Zorro (1990), Lovejoy (1992), and Stay Lucky (1994), but fame came with Ever After (1998): The Grande Dame tells us about the real Cinderella, her great-great grandmother, the liberated Age of Reason Danielle de Barbarac. Dougray plays Prince Henry, her love interest and equal partner.

Some popular movies followed:

Mission Impossible 2 (2000), starring famous homophobe Tom Cruise.  He plays villain Sean Ambrose.

Ripley's Game (2002), a sequel that heterosexualizes the gay killer of  The Incredible Mr. Ripley (1999). He plays the main victim.

My Week with Marilyn (2011).  He plays playwright Arthur Miller. Spoiler alert: he dates Marilyn Monroe. 

Dougray shows his butt in Enigma (2001), left, about British spies during World War II.

And in Things to Do Before You are 30 (2005), on The Top 12 Hunks of Batwoman.  It's about some 20-something buds facing "adult" problems like a pregnant girlfriend (Dougray) , a "crippled step-dad" (Danny Nussbaum) and being gay  (Shaun Parkes).  Backsid

Dougray's major tv roles:

Desperate Housewives (2006-07).  He plays Ian, who dates main character Susan until her boyfriend (James Denton, right) wakes up from his coma. 

Doctor Who (2013) as Alec, a ghost-hunter who helps the Doctor (Matt Smith) explore the haunted Caliburn House.

We're watching Batwoman (2019-22), because it's about superheroes, so why wouldn't we? 

All of the residents of Gotham City are dour and depressed, but Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) achieves new heights of angst when she discovers that Cousin Bruce was Batman, takes over his Batcave, and starts fighting costumed baddies.

1. Years ago, Kate was expelled from miitary school for doing gay stuff.   Her girlfriend claimed to be straight and got to stay, and is now in a lavender marriage to a guy who doesn't appear in the cast list; Google AI names him as Tyler, played by Greyston Holt.

Kate and Ex-Girlfriend exchange longing looks, but the betrayal is too great to overcome.

2.  Now Ex-Girlfriend works for the Crows, the private security force that Gotham City uses instead of police, which is coincidentally run by Kate's Dad, Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott).

Years ago, he lost his wife and daughter, Kate's twin sister, when their car plunged off a bridge. He searched for his daughter's body for years, until his new wife faked a DNA sample and convinced him that deer bones belonged to her.

3. Jacob's new wife also happens to be the CEO of a multi-billion dollar company that invents new and better weapons to sell to whatever evil empire wants them.  Her pride and joy is a gun with a "coil accelerator," the only thing that can pierce Batman's body suit and kill him (see, they both hate Batman, and now Batwoman).  Inventor Dean Devereaux (Matthew Graham) is the only person on Earth who knows how it works.

4.-5. So, what happened to Kate's twin sister after her car plunged into that river?  She was grabbed by August Cartwright (John Emmet Tracy), a plastic surgeon experimenting with human-skin face masks for his visually-different son Mouse (Sam Littlefield, left).   He says that he wants Twin Sister to "join the family," but instead he keeps her locked in a basement room for 12 years, with no food and nothing to read but Alice in Wonderland.
