Michael Rosenbaum Opens Up About Lex’s Finale Return to Smallville

TV Guide talks to Michael Rosenbaum about his return to Smallville as Lex Luthor.

What does Lex do?

Hmmm…his plan of cloning spare parts worked, only there’s a big twist. And there is a first-time ever scene with my sister Tess [Cassidy Freeman]. I also have a great scene with Clark [Tom Welling] that will launch them each into their destinies as adversaries.

This was your first time meeting Cassidy? We love her.

Yeah. And she is great! I was like, attracted to her! We were working on a scene and firing back-and-forth, and people were saying how it was like we’d been working together for years! I remember three years ago, her agent, who was my old agent, called and said, “Hey would you talk to Cassidy? She’s replacing you.” And I said, “First of all, nobody replaces me.” [Laughs] I said, “She’s not a replacement, she’s a new character…and yes, I will talk to her.” And when she asked for advice, I just told her to go up there, they’re all amazing and that she was gonna love it. Three years later, we’re finally meeting face-to-face.

This scene with Tom…is this the roots of President Lex Luthor?

You know, I’m not gonna answer that. [Laughs] You’re just gonna have to wait.
