Wherein Michael Demonstrates Better Than Words Ever Could Why He's Wonderful
Michael (Rosenbaum) was supposed to attend a comics convention in Mexico this past weekend, but was unable to attend at the last minute because of demands made by the Goughlar. He knows his fans are probably disappointed, right? So does he issue a press release? Does he let his agent handle it? Does he leave his fans in the dark about his absence and let them think he couldn't care less?
No. Not Our Boy. Michael instead sets up his OWN video camera in his OWN house on his OWN time, and releases a video of himself not only explaining why he was unable to go, but apologizing about a dozen times in a sincere and well-spoken apology.
My. Heart.

Newspaper headline created by youtube poster: Lex Luthor apologizes for not going to Comics Con
MR starts off by introducing himself in heavily accented Spanish, making a small, endearing grammatical mistake common for those new to the language ("I'm called is Lex Luthor"), so they subtitle him anyway.
MR: My name is Lex Luthor from Smallville. Hello, this is Michael Rosenbaum. I'm really upset that I can't go to Mexico right now. I just want to apologize to everyone at the 31st Comics and Games Convention. I was planning to go, I had my plane tickets. Everything was set for me to go, but Smallville told me at the last minute that I couldn't leave work because the episode is too big and they can't do it without me. So... I really want to go to Mexico and I'm sorry and I hope to see you another time. I'm sending some autographs. Unfortunately it didn't work out this time, but promise I will see you soon! So don't give up hope, thank you and again I am very very sorry. Keep watching Smallville, and I'll try to get to Mexico.... I really wanted to come. I'm taping myself, I did it myself with my own camera, to say I'm sorry. I'm going to turn off the camera now.

This boy here? *Pats Michael's cheek* This is a good boy. His actions concening this have forever cemented my love for him. I cannot think of any other actor who would have taken the time to do this for his fans. Not a one. I could cry for his thoughtfullness. Oh, Michael.
