James in "Smallville"?

[Spuffy]

I'll make sure to get ahold of all of my connections in Hollywood

[z]

Make sure you bombard them with that pic It makes it look too realand great a possibilty to ignore

[Spuffy]

I'll put it up on billboards and on some trucks. They won't be able to pass up the idea then

[z]

People will see it and say "oh he's the new superman ? what a great choice it looks so right " then the wheels will be set in motion

[Spuffy]

And then I'll get the credit for showing them the true Superman. No one else could measure up to him.

[z]

I feel this is a runaway train of a campaign

[Spuffy]

There should be a forum for just James as Superman. That could get him noticed a little

[z]

James really will be in Smallville after all !!!!!! no Dean Cain , its James as 'Brainiac' in 'multiple episodes !!!!!!'

An article on Kryptonsite.com reads, in part:
"Tom Welling presented the news of James Marsters and Tom Wopat's casting to reporters in Beverly Hills, California today at the 2005 TCA Summer Press Tour
....
Tom revealed James Marsters, in his new role, won't have a British accent and blond hair. "Which I'm kind of sad about, but we'll see," Tom joked."

Nice gag Tom

[Spuffy]

Perhaps Tom can talk them into letting him have blonde hair and an accent. It'd be Spike on Smallville but as Brainiac!

I got an email from James Marsters Live about this -

JAMES IS JUST FINE

Here's some good news about James on your television. Just released from the WB
is the following press statement (edited for all the important bits).

JAMES MARSTERS VISITS “SMALLVILLE” AS THE EVIL BRAINIAC

Burbank, CA July 22, 2005

James Marsters sinks his teeth into another juicy role for The WB when he joins
the cast of SMALLVILLE for multiple episodes. Marsters will portray Brainiac, a
classic DC Comics villain and one of the Man-of-Steel's most formidable enemies.
Additionally, one episode this season will reunite series star John Schneider
with his former “Dukes of Hazzard” co-star, Tom Wopat.

Marsters plays college professor Milton Fine, alter ego of the uber-villain
Brainiac. Possessed of a vast, superior knowledge limited only by his hubris and
emotions, Brainiac comes to earth armed with a secret about Clark's biological
family and the truth about Krypton's demise. Brainiac's presence in Smallville
will have a devastating effect on Clark and Lex's already deteriorating
friendship.

Brainiac is the latest DC Comics character to appear in SMALLVILLE. The Flash,
Mxyzptlk and Perry White have all made appearances during the series run. Last
season, Lois Lane (Erica Durance) joined the cast.

Reinterpreting the Superman mythology from its roots, “Smallville” was developed
for television by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar (“Shanghai Noon,” “Spiderman 2”),
based on the DC Comics characters. Gough and Millar serve as executive
producers, along with Greg Beeman, Ken Horton, Mike Tollin, Brian Robbins and
Joe Davola. The series is produced by Tollin/Robbins Productions, Millar/Gough
Ink and Warner Bros. Television Production Inc. SUPERMAN was created by Jerry
Siegel and Joe Schuster.

Even better news: James' availability for his October performances in the UK has
been assured by the producers of Smallville.

Ka-POW!

Apparently the original Kryptonsite article is riddled with spoilers , so proceed with caution , yeah right

What a hero to make sure his gigs can go ahead despite getting such a great job

A Brainiac Spin off to follow on from the last season of Smallville would be another great campaign

[JamesMFan]

The subject of that email was "Super James!" and I was like "what?"

I'm a bit slow, you see.

So, most of his scenes will be with Clark and Lex then. Damn, damn it to hell.

[z]

I read a thing that i thought said he'd be Lois Lanes boyfriend , but that will be Aquaman apparently . It might be the bald fellow from Aqua

[JamesMFan]

Haha Aquaman as Lois' boyfriend. I hope it's like the body of a man with a fish head.

[z]

Or a mans head on a big salmon body
