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.
