March 21, 2006: John Glover Talks About Lionel Luthor
Australia's Courier Mail newspaper has published an interview with John Glover, talking to him about his work as Lionel Luthor on "Smallville". Here's part of the interview...
- While everyone knows Clark Kent grows up to be Superman, and Lex Luthor a super-villain, Lionel's future is a blank slate.
"That's because there's no Lionel in the Superman mythology - he's just pure imagination," Glover says.
"He doesn't have to end up anywhere, as anything, and he can go in so many directions.
"That's been very freeing, for both the writers and me, plus nobody else has played the character before so there's no one to compete with."
The only time Lex's father gets a mention in the Superman comics is in the past tense, as he was murdered by his evil son.
"Perhaps that's what's going to happen to me," Glover muses. "If so, I hope I'm going to get a really nice death scene at some point.
"To do your own death on film would be great. I mean, who doesn't think about their death? To be able to act it out and not really die would be fascinating.
"Of course, I want any such scene to be as close to the end of Smallville as possible."
