Casting News: Brian Austin Green Is Metallo
Brian Austin Green is Metallo
Brian Austin Green has been cast on Smallville as the DC Comics villain Metallo, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively.
That’s right — the Terminator alum is now playing a cyborg himself. That is a pretty freakin’ super bit of casting, right?
Green will appear as the kryptonite-powered villain (alter ego “Daily Planet” journo John Corben) in at least the first two episodes of Season 9, which takes flight Friday, Sept. 25.
Interestingly, Smallville fans were waiting for news on big, bad Zod, given the events of the Season 8 finale, but that role still has yet to be cast. (I suppose you could say the show “zigged” instead of Zod.)
Green’s Smallville gig comes on the heels of the Beverly Hills 90210 alum passing on the role of One Tree Hill sports agent Clayton. Prior to that, Green had been attached to the CW pilot Body Politic, but that series didn’t get picked up for fall.
This past TV season, Green costarred on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which was canceled after two seasons.
