Michael Rosenbaum Back As Smallville’s Luthor

Let the cheering begin! Our favorite bald villain is returning to Smallville only on the CW.

No actor has ever made Lex Luthor more sexy than actors Michael Rosenbaum. Now he is back for the explosive final season of the super powered series. Rosenbaum told TV Line, in a new exclusive, “I’m delighted to return for the series finale. I’m simply doing it for all of the fans out there who made Smallville the great success it is. I appreciate all of their passion, their relentlessness, and even their threats. Ha ha.” He also said “I can’t wait to hug the old crew back in Vancouver one last time and see all of my old friends once again. Oh, and for Lex to become the bad-ass he’s destined to be.”

Lot’s of Smallville alumni have returned for this bittersweet season. John Schneider, Annette O’Toole (as Jonathan and Martha Kent), John Glover (Lionel Luthor), Laura Vandervoort (Kara/Supergirl) and Callum Blue (Zod) have already returned to their characters thus far. Rosenbaum’s appearance has, to many, felt like the missing piece, and now it is in place. Even star, Tom Welling agreed, saying, “With Clark propelled into being Superman, how do you do it without a Lex Luthor? That just doesn’t make sense to me.”
