Up until Michael playing Lex, I never liked Lex in comics or Superman movies. Lex was always just a really cheesy villain to me. Smallville was the first time I saw more sides to Lex, and my favorite episodes have Lex in them. I don't know what Michael thinks of that role overall, but for me, it was amazing. I STILL tell people to go watch his Lex Luthor because it was just so damn good. When you had Lex and Clark in scenes together, that's when you saw the heart of the show.

@@ahmetrefikeryilmaz4432 they made Lana poison because it was a throwback to the pilot, where Clark couldn’t approach her either because of the necklace. They even bring up the necklace in the episode. Clark dusted himself off and moved on. He literally had the legion ring in the barn which they showed him using an episode after. That’s either on purpose or a major plot hole. They gave this arc to Kristin kreuk as a send off, because she wanted her character going out as a hero.

Some women compare themselves to other women; its almost a subconscious reflex for them. I personally think Erica's more attractive looks-wise, but Kristin has a vulnerability that came across as Lana, and she also has a great smile.

Erica was such a breath of fresh air on Smallville. I remember thinking that I would love to be friends with her. When she said she had a “contentious relationship with chicks” I realized my opinion hasn’t changed. 😂 coolest chick ever, I’m so glad you had her on the show.

shes still so bubbly...i loved tom and kristin but i watched Smallville 4 times for Lois...erica brightened the show like the full moon in the night sky.

Lois Lane the character was so incredibly influential in my life, esp early Lois in seasons 4-6, in helping me find my own sense of style and humor, and start being comfortable in my own skin -- and now, seeing the actress behind the character, I feel she's even more awesome, and is exactly the kind of person I wish I could have a friend. Thank you, Erica, for giving so much to Lois the character, and for being so open and genuine in this conversation with Michael! It was incredible to watch!

What a beauty Erica is

The One and only Lois Lane for me, i am rewatching Smallville now and the way Erica played Lois ... just wow, you are falling in love with her so easily, like she is the real person, you understand her actions, you feel for her. Erica is so amazing, warm and interesting as a person, no wonder it all translated so well on screen.

Erica is my favorite Lois Lane, she is funny, a beauty with character, strong but sensitive at the same time. I kind of grew up with her from being a student to a young working woman at the same time as her on the show so she reminds me of good old times ! I really loved her badass side, as a girl she was just a cool role model for me as I was studying journalism too. Erica Durance is an amazing actress I wish we could see her more on screen, we don't hear much about her on mainstream medias maybe it's her choice but I'm really glad you bring her on your podcast, I just saw her name I clicked right away 🤣 and it's 3 am in France right now 😁 love your podcast by the way !

Please have Erica back and quickly! Been wanting this interview so much. Annette O'Toole next, please!

This was my favorite interview yet. I binged all of Smallville just now, and have a small void in my heart now that it's over. I remember watching it a bit as a kid but had no idea it went beyond Clark's High School years. I'm so glad I got to watch them all...almost 10 years later but still such a good show. The casting for that show was superb. Especially Erica, her Lois was the best portrayal yet, and she is so so beautiful. It makes me sad that she felt like an outsider and didn't feel as attractive as Tom and Kristen when first starting the show. Because she was definitely on their level (or above in my opinion). P.S. since I just watched it and it's fresh in my head, I do believe her first lines were when she was driving a car, talking about quitting smoking to herself and then sees Clark naked in a field. (They probably could have found a better way to introduce her but it worked in it's own humorous way). And Michael, not to be creepy, but if anyone could make bald Lex look good, it's you. You should give yourself more credit, because there's a reason people rate you as their favorite Lex Luthor, and it's not just the acting. You made that look your bitch. Love you, dude. I'm so glad I found this podcast, but I like the videos better because you can see your faces. P.S. I can't believe Erica is 42 she looks the same as when she played Lois! Can't say the same for Tom W.

Having a child means ‘never being alone inside your head again’. This resonated with me so much. It’s so true. Thanks Michael and Erica for an amazing conversation. ❤️

Damn dude that was a fantastic interview. Holy sh*t she is so stunning. WOWWWW. Erica is such a ball of energy and love and her personality is to die for. She's not your usual basic cookie cutter chick, Erica's got it all... she's classy, incredibly smart and a total goofball. Bah gawd I wanna marry her lol. Man these canadian girls are such badasses, she's my dream woman. I'm so in love with her. Thanks for this Michael.

After all these years, she's still an absolute smoke. It's nice seeing someone who is absolutely stunningly beautiful on the outside is also beautiful on the inside. I love her personality and down to earth nature. Honestly, every time I see and hear what Erica has to say I fall more deeply in love with her but this interview just tipped it for me, Michael you really let your guests shine and hot damn Erica Durance is soo amazing. I'm in love with this woman, another great episode!! Michael you're a hell of an interviewer. Good job man!

This is the amazing thing about human nature - Erica Durance is still so beautiful, and she nailed Lois Lane in Smallville. Yet to hear that she basically didn't think she was good enough or attractive enough to be on the show compared to Tom and Kristen. I mean you have so many regular people out there that think they're so special just because of how they look or personality they have. Then you have Erica who is beautiful and basically a complete package and she basically doesn't get it. I like her and appreciate her role even more in Smallville from this podcast.

Erica's so great. I love the positivity of this episode.

The best Lois of all time. The perfect blend of tough, sassy and caring. She and Tom had such great romantic chemistry as Lois and Clark as well.

What an incredible person and so beautiful inside and out.

This was so beyond amazing. I would have never imagined I was so alike so many Smallville stars. I guess that's why I have always felt connected to them as actors growing up watching Smallville. Crazy but oh so beautiful. It's like seeing a cousin being interviewed. It felt so cozy and familiar and honest and close to me :)

Seeing Erica Durance in this interview and how positive she talks only makes me love her more. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Great interview & human being. Beautiful & charming inside and out.

I absolutely love this. Been waiting to see Erica after the rest of the Smallville. Smallville has a special spot in my families heart. We all got into Smallville from my brother Deep. Super amazing to see you the cast connect with each other and to us fans. I met Erica through my late brother Deeper via his Make a Wish visit. He was actually the last Make a Wish visitor of Smallville where we met Tom and Erica, absolutely amazing and beautiful and awesome people, cast and crew. You're work environment is amazing and we definitely felt the love and passion into the process to getting the show. You are all the reason why we really love tv/film and give inspiration to achieve our goals. My brother later met you Michael at Granville Island at the market 2016 while you were filming Impastor. I missed out because I was busy with makeup on a student film. But I was so happy you both got to meet. Thank you all for being a beacon of hope and strength for my brother and us. I'm super happy you 3 got to meet my awesome talented loving brother. Thanks for normalizing mental health, and conversations on anxiety and depression. I hope you and yours are safe and healthy and love, prayers and positive vibes to you all 🥰🙏

I loved the snarky sarcastic attitude that she gave to that character it was a nice touch

When smallville started it was a story of Clark growing up and his character ark into being the man of steel. But several seasons in his personality was set and it was just about getting the experience and confidence to become that person. The second half of the show even if it didn't always revolve around her really was about Lois's Character Ark in becoming the person she needed to be to be Superman's mate and I don't think anyone could have potrayed it better than Erica did. She was amazing on the show and while I was already in love with the show before she joined, and with the way she started I wasn't sure if I was going to like her as Lois. She honestly was the heart of the second half of the show.

I came here for Smallville and I left with a deep empathy for postpartum depression. Keep it up Michael

Erica gave us an iconic Lois. Great interview!

Controversial opinion... She and Tom had the most realistic and best chemistry of any Lois and Kal

Love her so much! What a great interview.

Wow.. her explanation of PP Depression/anxiety was so spot on! Once your past it and look back you understand better that it wasn't normal. When you are in it you can't see clearly. You don't know how deep in it you are. It's so hard. I'm so glad you are talking about this. I wish I had heard these types of conversations when I had my babies.

You evidently won’t see this comment, but I would like to say that smallville has become really important part in hard period of my life. I started to watch the series when my farther left me. My mother was trying to earn money for living, we didn’t have our own house. It could turn around to be one of the awful time, but there were some elements which made everything better. One of those things is the story of two friends struggling with problems in family. You and Tom were an example and inspiration. Thank you very much for such remarkable depiction of the character

I started re-watching Smallville yet AGAIN (5th time now I think) and the scene where Lex is standing over Lionel Luther's trapped body at the end of Season one finale always gets me. A TRUE villain in the making!

Erica durance la mejor ♥️🤩😘😍

The reason you can easily recall bad memories is because it’s your brain protecting you from feeling that way again... sort of like a defense mechanism. This was one of my favorite interviews. You really talked about everything, and there was so much substance. Most interviews, they ask all the same questions over and over. When you follow a specific artist, you start to get bored watching their interviews because you already know what’s going to be asked, and what they’re going to answer. Thank you both for being so open and honest. I love you, I love Smallville, and I love this podcast! Keep up the awesome work! ❤️
