September 14, 2008: "Smallville" Interview Round-Up

Starry Constellation Magazine caught up with Sam Witwer to talk to him about his role as Davis Bloome in Season 8 of "Smallville".

Q: Davis does eventually become Doomsday, did you have any reservation about taking on such a well known comic book character?

A: Yeah, some, comic book fans, Sci-Fi fans, these are people who have a very specific taste and then there are always the vocal ones that don't like what you do no matter what. I feel like I am prepared for that and I've done enough work in that entire arena to be prepared for whatever may come as a result. I'm here to do as I am told, I am here to do as good a job as I can and interpret as well as I can. Hopefully people like it, I'd love it if people liked it.

IGN.com has posted an interview with Aaron Ashmore (Jimmy Olsen)...

IGN: Can you talk a bit about some of the episodes and storylines you're involved with as we begin Season 8?

Ashmore: Well, a lot of it is revolving around the marriage and that idea of the lead up to that. There's a great episode called "Committed" and I don't want to give too much away, but basically Chloe and Jimmy get kidnapped by this psychopath and locked in a basement. He hooks them up to these electric chairs and he basically is so obsessed with truth and commitment and faith to the other person that you're going to settle down with for the rest of your life. He sets up this test where if you're lying, he's going to kill you. So the way to get out of this is to be truthful and not be lying. Don't have secrets; not cheating. So there's this amazing set up as to are they right for each other? Can they end up together? The secrets that they both have, is that going to destroy them? That to me is a great episode.

IGN also spoke with Erica Durance (Lois Lane)...

IGN: Can you talk about Lois's interaction with some of the new characters, like Tess, Davis and Maxima?

Durance: They've done a really great job and hopefully during the season they're able to bring in even more characters that people recognize from the comics. We have the CEO of Luthorcorp coming in, Tess Mercer. I've had a little bit to do with her. And of course we go head to head - Lois really doesn't get on with people right away. She kind of knocks heads with her, which is always fun for me to play that kind of thing. And Davis, I don't have much to do with yet, but within the other characters, I think the audience will be very excited to see where they're going with that and watch him evolve in the different characters lives and as he gets closer to the other characters.

Supermag.org has conducted an interview with Damien Ferrette, the French actor who does the voice of Lex Luthor over Michael Rosenbaum's acting in the French version of "Smallville". Check out the interview (in French) at Supermag.org.
