October 31, 2009: Michael Shanks Talks Hawkman on "Smallville"

The Huffington Post grabbed time with actor Michael Shanks to ask him about being cast as Hawkman for the 9th season of "Smallville". Here's a portion of the interview...

    I know you can't reveal much...

    Let's just say that a few of the Justice Society characters have come out of retirement to meet up with an old foe and happen to cross paths with Clark (Tom Welling) and some of the characters from the Justice League. And let's just say there are some misunderstandings.

    I heard that there may be some sort of fight between Chloe (Allison Mack), Green Arrow (Justin Hartley) and Hawkman.

    Yeah, there's going to be some stuff going on. There's going to be some stuff going on for sure. There's going to be some conflict. Both with heroes and villains alike. [laughs] I love doing this dance...it's one of those things where I was told, when I was originally getting the part, one of my publicists wanted to know what was going on, and just even that, they said, 'No, we can't. We have to wait until it's legally cleared. There's all this stuff and legal wranglings and we kind of don't want anyone to know.' They want to control the information and I get that. But literally the next day, some website thing had it up. All the information. More information then even I knew. And I went, oh, OK, there goes that.
