Michael Rosenbaum - Art of Being

Look Ma, No Mirrors: "I chose acting because I've always been a bit of an extrovert. I decided all that time spent entertaining myself in front of the mirror might be more useful if I shared it with other people."

Lights, Camera, Scissors: "I didn't have to get permission to shave my head. It was part of the job. I don't mind. It would have bothered me if I had shaved my head and found all these dents and craters under there but, if you ask me, I'd have to say I've got a pretty good-looking head."

Rock 'N' Role: "Playing a bad guy [as in Lex Luthor] is a little weird. Overall, it makes sense because so far I've gone from one extreme to the other. I went from playing this innocent homosexual kid to a college frat boy to the mean guy in Urban Legend and a transvestite in Sweet November to this. Smallville is my first dramatic series. Will it change my life? I don't think so. I'm going to be just fine. I am sure there's a club for bald men out there somewhere that I can always join."

All in the Family: "Watching television was a bit of a tradition in my family. I remember sitting on the bed with my grandmother when I was a kid. She would pay me 25 cents to rub cream on her feet. I loved watching old classic movies, especially the cheesy ones. We also watched All In The Family. That was the ultimate show."
