Michael Cassidy on Smallville


Anyone seen him play Grant Gabriel, the Daily Planet's new editor, yet?

In the two episodes he's appeared in so far I think he's done well. He's playing the type of character you love to hate, and there's a rumour that he'll turn out to be a bad guy, which will be great because he was so good w/ the creepy/possibly bad Cliff on our little HP.

So any comments?

I've been wanting to see his performance but I'm never home when Smallville is on.

Cliff was an awesome character, I like those characters that are hard to read. You don't know if they're good or bad, or sometimes both.

It's been boring without Cliff and the other characters of HP. Hopefully, Kevin Williamson has another TV show soon, to fill in for HP's loss (which I still haven't gotten over). I miss those good old days of talking about HP and seeing the early promos and getting all hyped.

I know what you mean. The last few weeks I've been loading the HP eps. onto my PSP and letting a friend from school watch it. She loved the show, but was so mad at how they had to end it. And when we were talking about the show, it reminded me about how much fun I had watching it and getting all hyped.

I too hope that KW gets a new show on the air soon. And it would be nice if he could find a way to show us what he had in store for HP if the CW hadn't treated it so badly (it gives me a smile to think

about how poorly it's doing this season).

I hope you get a chance to see MC on SV before his arc is over, but I don't think he'll show up again for a few more weeks.

For those of you who have seen the last Smallville episode 'Gemini'...

* SPOILER WARNING FOR THOSE WHO DON'T FOLLOW THE SHOW *



Aren't you impressed with Michael's acting? I've never seen this side of him before on a show, and I'm glad he could pull it off. ;) That expression on Julian's face after it was revealed he's just a clone that Lex created gives a feeling as though his entire world is breaking down. I sympathized with him, although I didn't blame Lex for wanting a family either.

The breakup scene with Lois showed that he's just a genuinely nice guy after all. I was just wondering.. would you like to see the actor doing a role like this in the future?

Oh, while I'm on this board, I'm wishing all of you HP fans a Happy Holiday and a Merry Christmas.

I haven't seen much of Smallville this season, but from what I've seen Michael's done a great job. I wonder what roles he'll take after Smallville, hopefully be a part of a new TV project and be a series regular or possibly in a movie. But I don't think he'll do anything else until the strike is over.

BTW Happy Holidays to you too, coffee_break and all other HP fans. :)

Yes, I also hope to see more of him in the future. Oh, I've just sent you a PM. Pls check it out ;)

So "Persona" has just been aired. Has any Hidden Palms fan seen this episode? I missed it, so I'm waiting for someone to upload it on the net. Okay, so...

* SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T WATCHED IT*

The cloned Julian was shot four times by Lex's gunman in the end? Poor guy, I wish he could've stayed longer.

I saw it. I was sad to see him go, but MC did a good job on SV the last few months, and especially last night.

I hope he gets a bigger role soon.

I'm also crossing my fingers for him. Now that I've seen SV, I'd love to see him in more protagonistic roles. He has always been great in playing complex characters, but I'm looking forward to him scoring a part as a straight up nice guy. A little on the wild side like HP (LOL) but genuinely nice. What sort of roles would you like to see him portray?

I've never admired an actor this much. xD Thank God I've found my way around HP.

Did you ever see him on The OC? His character was completely different than it was on Smallville or Hidden Palms. He kinda was the all american good guy. Of course he never stood a chance lasting long on that show because he played Summer's love interest and everyone wants Summer and Seth together! But he did play the good guy in that!

reply

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention The OC. I want to see him playing a character like that. ;) Genuinely good guy right from the very start.

Just found this show and I was a huge fan of Smallville. MC was great as Julian/Grant, but Lex had to go and kill him.
