Michael Rosenbaum In Smallville Magazine #5
An exclusive interview with Michael Rosenbaum is the lead feature of Titan's Official Smallville Magazine, which is now hitting newsstands.

The issue also features a text piece written by Michael's mom, Julie Rosenbaum-Engelhardt, that includes a picture of her, Michael, and his younger brother, Eric.

Here are some highlights from Michael's interview with Paul Simpson:

On fan reaction to Lex going bad:
"I don't know if all of the fans are ready, because some of the time when I see fans or bump into them, they're always telling me that they love Lex, and they don't want him to turn evil. And then there's the other side, the fans who can't wait for him to turn evil. But for me as an actor, it's fun to have a little taste of that."

Was Lionel driving Lex mad?
"If you ask John Glover he'll say 'Lionel is innocent, I would only assume that he's trying to teach Lex, he loves him' and I just think that's crap! I do - there's a threshold to the abuse. Lionel pushes that every day."

On Lex and ulterior motives:
"Lex probably does have some ulterior motives, because there are a lot of ulterior motives in the Luthor family. Perhaps by putting his father away, he thinks people will see him in a different light. People will say 'He put this monster away. Maybe Lex isn't that bad.' - but at the same time maybe they're thinking, 'Wow, what a monster? What kind of monster puts his father away?' There's a double entendre to everything."

Also in the interview Michael shares a very interesting story relating to the filming of "Shattered," and there are highlights of Lex Luthor's essential moments.

In addition to the Rosenbaum features, Smallville Magazine #5 includes new interviews with Margot Kidder (Dr. Crosby) and Kyle Gallner (Bart Allen), a new feature about Ezra Small which even includes a K-Site shoutout, a look at the Kawatche caves, and more. Look for it to be hitting newsstands now.
