Yeah I haven't watched a hell of a lot of Smallville (mostly while I was putting a collection together for a friend on deployment) but he really pulled it together from what I've seen. That clip is a perfect example of it. He doesn't have all the cheese or over acting of the others (as much as I like Spacey and Hackman) and I really think he nailed the look.

I still watch it because I'm a huge Superman fan, but after season 7 it gets pretty awful. The loss of Rosenbaum really hurt the show.

Hackman...is the man! and it helps that he did a great job in Hoosiers, one of my fav. movies.

Hackman is phenomenal in Hoosiers, but my favorite role of his is The Conversation. Such a great movie. Next is probably as the sheriff in Unforgiven, another favorite.

Maybe partially because because he played 'diabolical genius' Lex Luthor, he was an early front runner for Hannibal Lecter. I don't know why it didn't work out, and I can certainly picture how he would have played the role, but I think Hopkins was probably the better choice. The gentlemanly air he brought to the part really helped underscore his evil.

Crap, I nailed "Other" but meant to hit Michael Rosenbaum. I shouldn't vote on stuff while half asleep

I voted Hackman, but it was a hard choice.....Hackman and Michael Rosenbaum portrays Luthor differently, plus Michael Rosenbaum is doing a younger Lex......either way, both are great.

Have to go with Hackman on this. I saw the Reeves Superman movie in the theater. Hackman has more acting talent in his little finger than any of the others listed in the poll.

Kevin Spacey, definitely. He was the only good thing about that movie.
