Joe Manganiello (One Tree Hill's Owen) tried out for the Smallville role of "Mason" - but it seems he did not get the role, making us wonder even more if "Mason" was just a code name for the Zod role which will be played by Callum Blue.
On an interview with the internet radio station Stardish, Manganiello said he wouldn't be doing Smallville, adding that they were "looking for something a little different than me."
Season 9 Episode 2-Metallo.
Also more Spoiler alerts!!!!-Tess tells Mason that she hoped he would have mastered more than a lexicon of cliches by now. He tells Tess she can stand down, becuase "it's me," and Tess says that "precisely who 'you' are is a little nebulous at the moment." Mason reminds her that that is "exactly the way you like it." He then keeps trying to find ways to try to seduce her.
- It sounds like Tess might "betray" Mason. In a later scene, Tess returns to the Luthor Mansion to find him inside, waiting. He mentions that she "turned on him" but he "survived it," and then works on psychoanalyzing Tess yet again.
- He tells Tess "I trusted you!" and tells her that he was the one shot she had at a fairy tale ending. She pulls a gun on him, and reminds him "You still need me." He realizes she's right.
This is what i found out. Thanks!
