Lionel Luthor

January 29, 2003: John Glover Talks “Smallville”

TV Guide Online have published an article discussing "Smallville" with John Glover, the actor who plays Lionel Luthor. Here's an excerpt from the article titled "Meet Lex Luthor's Devious Dad"...

While he's an accomplished stage actor, Tony winner John Glover (Love! Valour! Compassion!) is better known for playing big-screen baddies. Moviegoers often have loved to hate him in cheesy fare like Batman & Robin, Robo Cop 2 and Gremlins 2: The New Batch. Currently, he's enjoying a meatier sort of gig on Smallville as Lex's father, shady mogul Lionel Luthor.

The show's prequel-style format - which follows Clark Kent's high-school years - intrigued Glover from the start. "It's when all the Superman characters are being formed," he tells TV Guide. "I think what's so interesting about it is, the viewer knows what they're going to turn into, but we're seeing the roots and the forces that made them what they are."
