It's an interview with Michael from 2004 that was never posted and can be read Here!

On Clex

VOICES FROM KRYPTON: One of the things I’ve found frustrating is that Lex and Clark are supposed to be best friends - why don’t they go to the circus or hiking together? Do something.

ROSENBAUM: Yeah, why don’t they go on a trip? A lot of the fans would ( Read more... )

Yes their nightly trips to metropolis would have given us LOADS to chat about. ;-) Awesome interview

I love that Michael was so eager to please the Clex fans!

lol Oh, I love how Michael is willing to feed the fans need for Clex. *G*

I never get tired of the stories about him and John Glover. :D I bet they could do a full DVDs worth of extras with nothing but them.

Oh, I bet. Michael is so naughty and John so unflappable.

If the producers had only allowed a Clex kiss, Michael would have totally gone for it!

You miss theatre, Michael? Then do some effin theatre! I'll pay to see you on stage. I'll travel up to New York or, better yet, you can follow John Glover's lead and do some theatre in Philadelphia. I'll definitely be there. COME TO EFFIN PHILADELPHIA MICHAEL. GODDAMMIT!!!

I'm sorry. I have some Rosenbaum frustration that I'm working through.

I missed seeing him this year; he's always so fun! If he gets that movie role, he'll be in London for months. I really want him to get the part because it could be huge for him, but he'd still be missed on the Con circuit.

I'd love to see him onstage...so many roles he'd be awesome in. And how cool would it be if he reunited with JG onstage?

Thanks for sharing :)

I remember a lot of people complaining of Clex scenes nearly always just consisting of Clark going to the manion for a favour or advice, it's too bad the writers never cared about developing a deeper friendship compared to the million scenes they spend on Clana. Shattered and Nemesis were about the only episodes that had a really in-depth exploration of Clex :/

I loved all those scenes - put Michael & Tom in a room together and I'm good! The early seasons had some great scenes of Clark showing up with a problem but then branching off into deeper talk, like Lex telling the story of the Napoleon watch from his mother. The trouble was after S4, they had fewer scenes together and then they were all about Lana!

Shattered and Nemesis were about the only episodes that had a really in-depth exploration of Clex
I love both of those but Lineage, Prodigal, Suspect, Talisman, Shimmer, Leech, Stray (just to name a few) all hit their dynamic really well too IMO. SV just never bothered to really flesh out any of the relationships; the actors, to their credit, were able to build believable 'ships out of piecemeal writing.

AlMiles should have listened to Michael and given us some Clark and Lex just hanging out together. Yep, the Clex fans would have loved that. Aww, he's such a Clex-enabler!

Shame the other stuff he was expecting in season 4 didn't really happen. Not sure what the 'dig into the past' bit was - maybe the Teagues/Veritas stuff that was exhumed in a later season? Hmm.

I like how he gets excited imagining how pleased Clex-fans would be if Clex went on a trip! S4 would have been much better if they'd scrapped about half the eps and just had Clex going on outings!

Maybe...the S4 plot was very muddled, as if they rewrote on the fly.
