It has happened! Michael Rosenbaum has decided not to stay on Smallville as a Series Regular. While neither Rosenbaum or the show runners have written Lex Luthor out of Season Eight, Rosenbaum has kept true to his words, that Season Seven would be his last season on Smallville.

My Opinion: It's about time! Michael is a talented actor who needs to spread his wings. While I have no doubt SV has been a great launching ground and has taken him from a small-time actor to a full blown star, he needs to broaden his horizon. I can't wait to see Michael tackle other roles, possible tougher and even more complex and dramatic roles. I just hope he won't be cursed like many who make a name for themselves through one show and becomes cast-typed. (Think Mark-Paul Gosselaar transitioning from Zack Morris and beyond). I really hope to see more of Michael in other roles, other shows, and on the big screen.

Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor

Michael Rosenbaum

I love Lex Luthor! Ever since Smallville came into the boobtube, I've fallen in love with Lex Luthor (played by Michael Rosenbaum). Since the days of Lois & Clark, I've always loved a good "bad" guy, including Lex Luthor, even though the guy who played him then wasn't so hot. Now, Rosenbaum has totally changed the Lex image, making him sexy! I mean, by god, Roesenbaum has even made the shaved head hot!

And why am I bringing this up now? It's because I'm watching an old episode of Smallville, where Lex's adult past (Metropolis) is revealed (slightly), he's punching a bag, sweaty, and he was also wearing a leather jacket. Needless to say, I'm obsessed.
