Self-assured and possessed with a rapid-fire sense of humor, Michael Rosenbaum shaved his blond locks for the role he seems born to play - a young Lex Luthor in Smallville. Born in Oceanside, New York and raised in Newburgh, Indiana, Michael excelled in high school drama classes. Once hooked, he took on lead roles in college stage productions such as The Heidi Chronicles while attending Western Kentucky University and performing in regional theater during his summers. Upon graduation with a degree in Mass Communications and Theater, he packed his bags and headed for New York to pursue acting. Michael quickly landed roles in off-Broadway productions and small independent films, and soon segued into regular appearances on Late Night With Conan O'Brien in a sketch called The Amsterdam Kids. His first real break came when he got a series regular role on The WB comedy series The Tom Show, with Tom Arnold. The relationship with the network continued as he was cast as Jack in the New York comedy Zoe, Duncan, Jack & Jane. Michael Rosenbaum enjoys ice hockey and has a passion for music - he plays both acoustic and electric guitar. Michael has been keeping quite busy - in addition to appearing as Lex Luthor in Smallville, he is doing several movies and is the voice of Wally West/The Flash in the Justice League animated series. As you can see, just like John Glover, Michael is no stranger when it comes to superheroes.
