Smallville/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Fan Nickname: Lots.
    • Clark: The Big Dumb Alien or BDA.
    • Chloe: Google Girl, Chloogle, the Exposition Queen
    • Lionel Luthor: The Magnificent Bastard, the MB, the Magnificent You-Know-What, Lion-El (after his possession by Jor-El).
    • Lex: Cueball
    • Jonathan: Bo Kent
    • Davis: Bloomesday
    • Lana: Super Kryptonite Woman or The Amazing Kryptonite Woman, after becoming walking kryptonite. In the earliest seasons she was initially known as the Pink Princess because of her early wardrobe (and the fact that by season 3 the pinkness was arguably becoming a Running Gag until her wardrobe changed in Season 4)
    • Pete: Product Placement Pete, as his little bit of screentime was usually used to hawk products like the music of Lifehouse, the "Talon Mix" CD, and finally Stride Gum.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!/Hey, It's That Voice!
    • Annette O'Toole as Clark's mom, John Schneider as his dad, Terence Stamp's inimitable voice as Jor-El (and a cameo as Zod), Michael McKean as Perry White, Rutger Hauer as (pre-surgery) Morgan Edge, James Marsters as Brainiac, Jane Seymour, Helen Slater, Dean Cain, Margot Kidder, Christopher Reeve, Sam Witwer aka "Starkiller"!, Alessandro "L" Juliani as Dr. Emil Hamilton.
    • Phil "Jackie Chiles" Morris as Martian Manhunter. And Pam Grier as Amanda Waller.
      • Hey, Stefan Salvatore is Lucas Luthor, and his brother Damon is Adam Knight!
      • Michael Shanks as Carter Hall/Hawkman. Oddly enough, this means that that he is again playing a character with an interest in Ancient Egypt. Also, both characters have also experienced a number of deaths that didn't quite stick. Also, both characters have similar sounding names for the woman they love (Sha're/Shayera).
    • Granny Goodness was sadly not played by Ed Asner in drag, but the actress who does play her is none other than Reaper's Gladys. Or if you prefer, one Delores Herbig.
      • Speaking of "Herbig Brown Eyes," Kneel before Mason, just doesn't have the same ring to it.
    • Julian Sands (of Warlock, 24, Phantom of the Opera and Arachnophobia fame) is Jor-El.
    • Michael Ironside as General Lane. Hearing him talk down Clark should bring back certain memories...
    • Minor examples, but the fat vampire from Season 1 was Giselle (Amy Adams). And a few people may recognise the voice of Azrael, Dilandau, and Iceman on the student who tried to run Chloe off the road for exposing his mother as a murderer in Season 3's "Truth."
      • And the Iceman from the film series stole Clark's powers.
    • Alexander Luthor is Ryan
    • Lionel Luthor is The Riddler. And Brimstone's Satan (quite appropriate for Lionel's early characterization.
    • Headbendingly, Lex Luthor is the Flash.
    • An interesting point for anime fans: Cassidy Freeman, who plays Tess Mercer, is the sister of voice actor Crispin Freeman.
      • And possible Casting Gag, Tess was shown to be someone against Clark and working with Lex Luthor before warming up to Clark.[1]
    • The Wonder Twins? Are Simon Camden and Claudia Donovan.
  • Retroactive Recognition: Young Lana Lang is iCarly or Summer or Megan!
  1. Crispin voiced Superman in a JL game, therefore both Freemans have been allied with the Big Boy Scout.
