Back when it made its debut on the small screen, Smallville was a show that DC was using to put a fresh take on Superman’s story. People were familiar with the overall story, sure, but Smallville sought to give the heroe’s background a level of depth that had never been there before. Turns out, fans were waiting for a show like this, and it became a huge hit in its prime.
Michael Rosenbaum was the man tasked with playing Lex Luthor, and he was sensational in the role. Since the show came to an end, the actor has remained busy and has even done plenty more work for DC.
Let’s take a closer look and see what Michael Rosenbaum has been up to since Smallville ended.
He’s Done Voice Acting For DC
There are many different areas of entertainment that an actor can tap into for success, with voice acting being one of the most interesting options. While not everyone is cut out for it, voice acting can be a great way to perform in quality projects. This is one of the many areas that Michael Rosenbaum has excelled in through the years.
Coincidently, his voice acting work started all the way back in 1999 before he even landed the role of Lex Luthor in Smallville. During that time, the performer was able to land a voice role in Rocket Power before heading over to DC and doing voice work in Batman Beyond as Trapper and the Flash. The following year, he voiced Ghoul in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.
During his time on Smallville, Rosenbaum voiced Wally West and characters like Deadshot and Ghoul in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. In the years following Smallville, the actor has done work with DC in projects like Justice League: Doom, Justice League: Throne of Atlantis, and DC Showcase: The Phantom Stranger.
Clearly, the comic book giant loves working with Rosenbaum, as he has voiced heroes, villains, and everything in between. Some of his other impressive voice acting credits include projects like The Wild Thornberrys, Static Shock, Jackie Chan Adventures, and Teen Titans.
Voice acting has been great for Rosenbaum, but his work in front of the camera is as good as it ever was. This is precisely why he scored the lead role on an TV Land series back in 2015.
He Starred On The Series ‘Impastor’
Back in 2015, Michael Rosenbaum began his time starring on the series, Impastor, which featured performers like Sara Rue and Mircea Monroe. The show focused on one of the craziest images of a pastor in recent media, and Rosenbaum was a perfect fit to play the broken character.
The series lasted for two seasons on TV Land before being canceled, but people enjoyed what the show brought to the table. Critics weren’t as kind, as the show has a 33% on Rotten Tomatoes, but the fans have it at an 87%, which clearly shows that there was something truly great about the series.
Elsewhere on the small screen, Rosenbaum has appeared in projects like Breaking In, Hunted, Typical Rick, and Robot Chicken. He has also been active in film, appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2, and other projects since Smallville came to an end.
Rosenbaum has shown the ability to thrive in film and television, but in recent years, he has added another successful dimension to his overall game.
He Hosts A Podcast Called ‘Inside Of You’
These days, it seems like everyone has a podcast, but some are genuinely pretty good and can provide something interesting. Turns out, Michael Rosenbaum is a podcasting natural, and his podcast, Inside of You, has had some great guests through the years.
Notable names like Stephen Amell, Tom Welling, Kevin Smith, and a whole lot more have taken the time to appear on the show. Rosenbaum does such a great job with each guest, and he is able to create a conversation that it genuinely interesting to listen to.
Aside from running his own successful podcast, he is also known for being a great guest on other podcasts. The performer has been featured on TigerBelly multiple times and has a great chemistry with host and comedian, Bobby Lee. Bobby has also appeared on Inside of You, and their friendship and chemistry is evident each time that they collaborate in the podcast sphere.
Michael Rosenbaum was an incredible Lex Luthor on Smallville, and since the show came to an end, he has continued to add impressive achievements to his career.
