Xpose #73 cover

November 11, 2002: Smallville in “Xpose” & “Seventeen” Magazines

Issue #73 of the Xpose magazine features Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) and Sam Jones III (Pete Ross) from "Smallville" on the cover.

Within the magazine there are features on both young actors. The actors reveal that things are going to get heated for Luthor as he puts the sex into Lex... and discover why Pete Ross is going to be more involved in the plot of the series as, after a year in the dark along with everyone else, he discovers Clark's out-of-this-world secret...

Here's an excerpt from the article on the character of Lex Luthor...

Luthor's Core

There's love in the air for Lex Luthor...

It's hard to imagine Michael Rosenbaum sounding sexier than he usually does as Smallville's Lex Luthor, but he does. Trust me on this. When we speak, the poor soul is suffering from a slight cold, which makes his normally smooth tones just a wee bit deeper and a touch more husky, and yes, I am having way too much fun doing this job. Before I'm swept away by a tidal wave of... um... admiration, I do manage to steer Mr Rosenbaum towards some revelations about his show's second season by asking what's going on in small town Kansas this year.

"What's happening? Well, we're just working around the clock. We're seven episodes into the second season and there are lot of twists and turns." He answers my 'Like what?' with a teasing, "Aw! See! I knew the 'what' was coming!" A pointed reminder that he is talking to a journalist is met with a scoffing, "I know," before he rallies and grins, "And there's always good stuff. Obviously my father, Lionel Luthor [John Glover], is alive and breathing. But we know from the première episode that Lionel's now blind, so that's something else that Lex will have to deal with. We'll be digging into Lex's past more. In fact, early on, we start digging into Clark's past too. But that's all I can tell you. Everything else is meant to be a secret."
