At last month’s Supanova convention, Michael was asked “What was your favourite season of Smallville?” He chose season 3, singling out the episodes Shattered & Asylum. He mentioned that was also a stressful time for him, with a series of thefts in his neighbourhood, but fortunately Tom was there to calm him down…
Michael: “Season 3 was such an intense season. And someone was breaking into my car, and the alarm going off…I went crazy. I took the closet rod and went “RAAAA!” I felt like “No one’s messing with me. I’m Lex Luthor!” And then Tom’s like “You’re not Lex Luthor. You don’t have any of his money. You don’t have his intelligence. Stop. This is actually the antithesis of Lex. You’re an idiot. Stop.”
