September 7, 2009: John Schneider Talks "Smallville"
Superman Homepage member JohnJones attended Dragon*Con this past weekend, and managed to catch a few minutes with actor John Schneider to ask him about his time as Jonathan Kent on the TV series "Smallville"...Q: Do you miss playing the character Jonathan Kent on Smallville?
John Schneider: I miss the character desperately! I think, not because of my acting or anything but because of the character, when they killed Jonathan Kent off the show, they lost it's moral structure. I felt like Jonathan Kent held the series to a higher standard, and I feel that it is something they are missing lately.
Q: Would you ever come back to the show if asked?
John Schneider: I'd love to come back! Actually what I'd like to do is come back in Smallville's final episode as a ghost or apparition that gives Clark the thumbs up to wear the Superman suit. Sadly, they never call or write though (made a sad face).
Thanks to JohnJones for this short interview. He also posted some photos online.
Look for our series of Dragon*Con video reports to be posted here soon.
