LEx Luthor.. Michael Rosenbaum

i definitely agree. mike is the epitome of lex luthor. even my dad commented on his ability to carry the character very well. he's a gifted actor. normally he is so whacky in person (watch the gag reels of Smallville and different interviews) but he's able to carry the dark yet mysterious with a mix of vulnerability and ruthlessness (w/c he uses for his own evil schemes)lex to the hilt. hehehe... well, he looks sexy being bad..wehehehe if you ask me who among these actors who portrayed the various faces of lex luthor that i like? 1. gene hackman's (superman the movie with christopher reeve) comedic intrepretation 2. the suave and impeccable veneer of michael rosenbaum 3. kevin spacey's mad and genius lex 4. john shea's (lois and clark: new adventures of superman) interesting, dangerous yet sophisticated portrayal For me, i pick mike rosenbaum, hands down:-D .... i even have a friend who likes mike more than tom...hahaha... it's really beauty is in the eyes of the beholder... happy holidays!

I don't want to see him in person, but I love watching him on smallville. he's hot and makes a great lex luthor. I love how he's powerful and evil minded, but to the world he tries to seem like he's helping the world. I didn't like the other superman lex luthors but he's the one I like. I haven't seen season 7 yet cause I don't have tv stations. but I own most of the old seasons. I don't remember what episode in season 3, but I love the episode where Lex has a accident as luthorCorp and he gets a evil twin. He's the good lex and we all get to see evil lex. I love seeing him bad and we learn what he really wants his life to be.
