February 27, 2008: A Quick Chat with Michael Rosenbaum

Superman fan Brett Bishop emailed the Superman Homepage to let us know that he managed to catch a quick word with Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor on "Smallville") at the Sundance Film Festival a week ago, and asked him a few questions about "Smallville" and what the situation was with the writer's strike and Season 8. Here's what Brett had to say...

    So my friend Joe and I were outside the Entertainment Weekly party and we saw Michael Rosenbaum! I immediately walked up to him and asked him for a picture. He was really one of the nicest celebs I've met and he responded with a warm and excited, "Sure!". We told him we loved him and Chloe on the show. He replied with, "Ah, thanks." So I asked him some questions and I'll write it like this to make it easier:

    Q: So what are you going to do with the show because of the writer's strike?

    Michael: Oh, we have five episodes or so to go so...

    Q: Well I heard this is your last season? Are you coming back since this season was so short or are you done? Michael: (takes a second to think of how to word this.) Eh... We're getting close.

    [His hesitation seriously made it sound like the series is coming to an end but that was my take and you can speculate what you will. Then I asked...]

    Q: Will you do me a favor and tell Tom he has to wear the suit in the last episode of the series?

    Michael: (laughs) I keep telling him that.

    Q: And he keeps saying no?

    Michael: (laughs) Yeah but we'll see.

    Q: It's his obligation.

    He just laughed and I thanked him for his time since he was heading into the party. He was really nice and was a great guy.

Thanks to Brett for emailing us this interview/report.
