[ # ] Michael Rosenbaum is leaving Smallville
May 1st, 2008 under The CW

Michael Rosenbaum aka Lex Luthor will be leaving Smallville after this season. It has been no secret that Michael Rosenbaum was planning on leaving the show at the end of this season, but The CW made it official today and he is leaving on good terms. In fact the producers said that even though he will not be a series regular next, we haven't seen the last of Lex Luthor.
Michael Rosenbaum wrote this letter as thank you to us fans!

Dear Smallville Fans,

Well, it's been seven wonderful years.  Your support is what has made Smallville so successful, and I appreciate you all more than you know.

That being said, it is time for me to start the next chapter of my life and career.  I hope that I gave you some enjoyment over the years, and that you found my portrayal of Lex Luthor to be satisfying.  I am truly grateful, as Smallville fans are the best fans out there.  I sincerely hope that you will continue to follow my career through my hair growth period and beyond.

I'm very excited about what the future holds, but certainly, Smallville will always be a part of me.  I will definitely miss the greatest crew in the world, and the wonderful cast that has been like a family to me.

Thank you Al and Miles for creating the show.  Thank you writers, producers, directors and editors. Thanks Tollin, Robbins and Davola for being there for the pilot. Thank you Peter Roth for employing me for ten years.  Lisa Lewis, I miss you already.  John Glover, thanks for helping me feel more comfortable touching other actors, while acting. Bizarre, but helpful.

Mostly, I want to thank Greg Beeman for directing the "Oh Sherry" video, by Steve Perry, back in the 80's.

Thanks crew. Thanks fans. Thanks Smallville.

I love you all,


Michael Rosenbaum
Michael has been bald for so long, I forgot what he looks like with hair but I remembered he looked really cute with it! I am trying to think of something positive about this news! 
BTW The CW also announced that they will be adding two villains next season, Doomsday and a female villain that the producers are keeping under wraps! Where is Clark Kent's X-Ray vision when you need it!
