Be better. I think they had to do it, because they had so many inexperienced cast, namely Tom, me and the younger actors who came in to guest star. I walked out of the room and I called my parents. This is going to be a hit show. As season one gets underway, the cast and crew are filming in Vancouver when the Sept. I was supposed to go in and do stuff in the stands, watching Clark play football. Everybody was standing in the parking lot and nobody knew quite what to do.
Do we keep filming? Do we stop? Nobody knew what this was yet. I think the second plane hit the tower when I was on my way to work. There is a wonderful scene with Tom and I underneath the bleachers, talking in a very long hallway that is filled with confusion and support and love and awe and wonder.
Not because we were such wonderful actors. I was a wreck. It was a crazy time, a scary time. There are no flights. They were reading poetry. They were creating a calm about what had happened. ROSENBAUM So many veterans have come up to me telling me how much Smallville helped them through tough times and that their whole platoons would watch Smallville together as a distraction to what was going on.
I have been given flags and other gifts, and it just blows my mind. If they get within ten feet I know these are folks who watched Smallville in Baghdad. What an honor that is to be treated with such regard from the people who have risked their lives for our freedoms. The show, visually and aesthetically, was a celebration of Americana. Deliberately in terms of the red white and blue of Clark Kent and the aesthetic of the town and the farm, it was the idyllic portrait of America.
That went from something people could mock to something they really took comfort in. People would put their arms around me. Martha Kent is an iconic mother character. It was one of those shows people could watch together and unite as a family over something. And all of a sudden I start crying. That was nowhere on the page. I hung the keys on the wall.
I put them there so Clark could see them and really make up his own mind. That line of dialogue was wonderful. It showed a completely unique and wonderful way of parenting. Matt Tolmach was the executive. It was the scene where the Green Goblin had that thing through him.
He was dying and talking to Peter at the end of the movie. They loved Smallville. They had seen the pilot. The show had just premiered. They wanted us to write the Spider-Man sequel Laughs. At the same time I was part-time acting.
I got a call to go in and read for Smallville. At that point I was ready to quit the business. He wants to get to say hi. When it comes time to have Clark learn more about his Kryptonian heritage, the team enlists Superman legend Christopher Reeve to play Dr. There was a lot of the Richard Donner ethos in the show, which he appreciated. The next day we are going to do a couple scenes in New York with Chris Reeve.
Meeting him was really great. He was only supposed to be there for a couple hours. The fee he got for the guest star role went to his foundation as a donation, and then he wanted this PSA with Tom.
So we did that. And he was amazing. We were able to use the Superman theme, which was also great. That was a very big moment for the show. It was so cool to feel like he had put the sword on my shoulders and knighted me somehow.
It was very special. We talked about him coming back for season four, and I remember talking to him. This was a couple months before he died. That was very cool. I was signing cards and stuff. Somebody just grabbed my eyes from behind.
I looked around and it was Margot Kidder. You hit it out of the park, kid. This is what I was given. Directors would hear him. He was just a personality. He was fun. He says it to Mrs. I got to really explode and show another side of me. It was nice being good Lex, but there was a time I would want just a taste of that evil. They switched. When I watch the episode, I can see where I was doing it and then John had the difficult task of playing an uncomplicated Clark Kent.
When it was a high school girl or whoever took over my body. I got to dance around and be silly and say some silly, outlandish stuff Martha Kent would never saw normally. One of them was when they killed me, they should have Lex do it. Mark Snow composed music for each show. The theme song, " Save Me ", is performed by band Remy Zero. A seventh, eighth, and ninth season were launched. On March 4, , the CW renewed the series for a tenth season to air during the network's lineup. Smallville broke the record for highest rated debut for The WB, with 8.
Smallville is based on the popular DC Comics character, Superman. The series follows the life of a teenage Clark Kent living in the town of Smallville , Kansas that is set at the start of the 21st century. It shows Clark Kent coping with adolescence while he is developing super powers X-ray vision , super speed , etc. Chapter 2 is known as Clark's training begins and Lex Luthor's descension to darkness Seasons featuring new heroes and villains like Brainiac, Bizarro and Lex Luthor.
The mineral kryptonite is used as a recurring plot device throughout the series. Kryptonite is shown to have bizarre and lingering effects on human physiology and the young superhero often encounters mutated and psychotic villains who have developed bizarre powers, such as psychic abilities, shape shifting, and other paranormal abilities.
For this reason, the show is often criticized as being predominately a " freak of the week " series. On a Kryptonian like Clark, though, kryptonite has very different effects; the general idea is that Clark is virtually invincible except when around the kryptonite rocks.
Different colors affect Clark differently : Green Kryptonite physically weakens him and could possibly kill him if he is exposed to it for too long. Red Kryptonite causes him to set aside moral standings and act out on his impulses and dark desires.
Black Kryptonite splits Clark into and merges him back together from two separate beings that exhibit his two personalities Clark Kent and the darker Kal-El.
Silver Kryptonite which is solely the creation of Milton Fine in the show causes him extreme paranoia. Blue Kryptonite takes away his abilities, but doesn't cause him pain like green kryptonite is often seen to. Lastly, Gold Kryptonite can permanently damage or scar a Kryptonian and take away their powers permanently.
Viewers will often observe allusions in the form of dialogue, guest stars, character wardrobe, and scenic design used throughout the series to the Superman comic books and films. Season One was a tremendous success, but some fans balked at the villain often only appearing in one episode and almost always deriving their power from kryptonite exposure, affectionately becoming known as the " freak of the week ".
Eric Johnson 's character, Whitney Fordman , was also said to be underused and one-dimensional. Despite this, the producers were instantly ordered to film at least two more seasons of the show. John Glover 's Lionel Luthor character was just intended to be a guest star on the show, but due to his popularity and Johnson wanting to leave the show, he became a full-time cast member for Season Two , as Whitney was written out of the series.
Season Two had a fewer "freaks of the week" appear on the show, and instead focused more on character development, especially on Clark discovering his true origins and accepting his destiny. Clark began hearing calls from his biological father, Jor-El.
A memorable moment of the series was the appearance of Christopher Reeve, who played Superman in the 70's and 80's film serials, as Dr. Virgil Swann. Swann provided Clark with information of his origins, in a "passing of the torch" moment between Reeve and Welling. Lex's relationship and short-lived marriage to Dr.
Helen Bryce was also a major highlight of the second and third seasons. The show volleyed Clark and Lana's relationship, never actually allowing the two to become an official couple for most of the first 4 seasons.
Season Three was another successful one, but more reviews of the season were mixed. Fans were confused with how Clark could become completely exonerated from his brief crime career by returning all he had stolen, and Helen's Bryce character conclusion.
It was here that Pete Ross' character arc came to an end. After getting beaten up by agents for hiding Clark's secret and struggling to keep it, Pete moved to Wichita, Kansas, with his mom after his parents divorced. Gough has stated that the actor wanted to leave the show due to the lack of screen time. Gough said that Pete will be back if they find the right story arc for him.
Season Four ventured further into the Superman mythos by creating a story arc that would run the length of the season.
The arc involved Clark seeking out three Kryptonian stones that unlocked the infinite knowledge of the universes. The majority of this season revolved around Lex trying to rekindle his friendship with Clark, Lionel attempting to be a good father and person, Lana and her ancestry, and Clark searching for the three stones. Season Five introduced the Fortress of Solitude to Clark. This season also saw the introduction of Prof.
Fine would become a reoccurring antagonist for Clark throughout the season. The central plot of Season 5 revolved around Clark using the knowledge in the Fortress to train for an impending doom that was to befall Earth in the form of General Zod , a Kryptonian warlord.
