March 30, 2006: James Marsters Talks Brainiac on “Smallville”

WizardUniverse.com has posted an interview with James Marsters on their website, in which he discusses his role as Brainiac on "Smallville". Here's part of the interview...

Q: What are Brainiac's plans for Clark Kent?

A: I am so gonna sucker Clark. It's not just Kryptonite that's his vulnerability, it's his own naiveté at this point in his life, and I'm going to go after that. I'm going to separate him from everybody who loves him, take his friends away, take his family away, isolate him, and then I'm going to corrupt his mind. God help the world when Superman is confused.

Q: How is being the new guy on the set treating you?

A: It's the most harmonious set I've ever worked on. There are no jerks in the pool. I've gotten to work most with Tom [Welling] and that is fabulous. We both have PSPs so we race each other on those and goof around. Then working with Michael Rosenbaum [chuckles], it's like the circus comes to town, you just want to sit back and watch. On a 15-hour day, to have him come in cracking jokes, it's better than coffee. And Annette O'Toole - still so hot, oh my God.
