Michael Rosenbaum For The Smallville Finale!!

non_amos wrote:I just found this out by coming back here & reading the link. Do you suppose he heard the fan uproar & then, in the interest of his future career, re-evaluated his earlier decision? Good PR in other words. I just hope they do away with the clone angle & that it turns out that Lex anticipated Ollie's move & therefore it turns out to be one of the clones that got blew to Kingdom Come. I mean, as intelligent as Lex is supposed to be, that way he met his demise some time ago was rather idiotic, like 'America's Dumbest Criminals' or something. I hope that the real Lex was actually behind the scenes somewhere, remotely observing. The entire 'clone' thing could be presented as a ruse to throw Clark & company off until his real return, because think about it. The clone is sick & aging rapidly. I don't understand why the needle bent that Tess tried to poke him with, unless they're gonna make him super like Clark, but since he's actually dying, maybe that whole thing is playing into the real Luthor's hands?

Maybe the real Lex escaped the Fortress at the end of Season 7 due to Kryptonian tech or something? Maybe since then he hatched his whole 'clones' plot, watched 'himself get murdered, & has since just been biding his time until he reveals himself to the world again. However, unlike LIONEL , we could have the real Lex. It'll also be interesting to see how Lex interacts with 'alt-Lionel'. I know, I know, since Smallville is notorious for changing and/or altering the canon, TPTB may actually have Rosenbaum as the adult clone, but I really wish it would be the real Lex. SMALLVILLE PRODUCERS, are you TROLLING message boards to gauge fan reaction to this news? IF so, please hear me out. Bring back the REAL LEX LUTHOR in this finale. Find an explanation that fits like I suggested. No clones allowed!

webhead2006 wrote: So then on some boards like shh and probably ksite some theorized it might be conner kent. Which could work with all the cloning stuff going on this season with lex. So that is how it came to be. And after this week, the theory could be true to some degree with a sv take on conner, which is more lex clone, with possible influences of clark dna to give powers.

Michael Rosenbaum just can't escape "Smallville."

Not that he's complaining. Quite the opposite, actually. His new FOX show "Breaking In," which premieres April 6, has an upcoming episode that takes place at Comic-Con. Zap2it was on the set and got a sneak peek at all the costumes.

Guess what Rosenbaum's character Dutch will be wearing? You guessed it -- a Superman shirt. Before you go thinking he's dressed as the Man of Steel, he is actually dressed as a beloved '80s character who happens to wear a Superman shirt. Speculate away! (COLORS NOTE- Sloth, duh)

"It's a little homage. Adam Goldberg, the creator, really asked a lot and I said, 'Whatever you want,'" Rosenbaum says of the meta moment. "It's comedy, let's make fun of ourselves. I'll put on a Superman shirt, I'll do whatever."

Speaking of whatever, his character Dutch seems to be down for whatever, something Rosenbaum embraces. He describes him as "complete douche on the outside, nice guy on the inside," who wears Uggs, bleaches his hair and wears two watches at the same time.

"Smallville" fans looking for their favorite bald-headed anti-hero are in for a shock, to say the least. So what does Rosenbaum think his fans' initial reaction will be to Dutch? "The first fan reaction would be like, 'I like him better as Lex. He looks better bald. He shouldn't be on this show. He should be Lex forever,'" he teases affectionately. "that would probably be their first reaction. Hopefully some of them will go, 'Oh, he's actually kind of funny. This is good,' or maybe not. I think one thing they'll appreciate is that whatever character I do, I go balls out."

Obviously, we had to be greedy and ask Rosenbaum for even more scoop on the series finale of "Smallville," and while he wouldn't reveal too much -- like if he shot any scenes with anyone besides Tom Welling -- he did say you will be seeing more of Lex Luthor than you might have originally thought.

"We did a lot. I know people thought, 'Oh, he only went up for one day.' We did 19 hours," he explains. "Okay, for anyone out there who is like, 'Oh, he only went out there for one day,' I was up there for 19 hours."

He continues, "We did four different things. Two nice scenes and then two other specialty things that I won't tell you about. I'm a part of the finale and I think it's important."

Count 'em, people. That's four Lex scenes/"specialty things" you can look forward to. We now leave it to you to debate just what those specialty things are.

Finally, we asked Rosenbaum what "Smallville" has meant to him personally. He took a moment before answering, "The show is a big part of my life. I did seven years of it and you know, I know the make-up artist and the hair people -- well, not the hair people [laughs] -- but I know the make-up artist better than I know my own family. I spent two hours a day with them a day for seven years, you know, the whole crew. I had nicknames for the whole crew.

"It's a part of life, a part of my life that I'll always remember and that I'll look fondly on," he says. "What can I say? Great times. It's nice that it's finally ending, to end that chapter in your life."
