PLANET KRYPTON INTERVIEW WITH "SMALLVILLE" EXECUTIVE PRODUCER AL GOUGH
By Craig Byrne (PlanetKrypton@aol.com)

As many of you who have been reading this newsletter already know, "Smallville" is an upcoming TV series that will tell the tale of a Clark Kent in his adolescence; as his powers are developing, before he was "The Man of Steel." The show is set to star Tom Welling as the young Clark Kent, with Kristin Kreuk ("Edgemont") as 16-year-old Lana Lang. Also in the show will be such actors as John Schneider, Michael Rosenbaum, and John Glover.

"Smallville" was a concept developed by the writing team of Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. Gough and Millar have worked on several projects together, including the TV series "Martial Law" and "Timecop," and the movie "Shanghai Noon."

Mr. Gough was kind enough to share some of his time and answer some questions about the upcoming series, and what fans should expect to see in this series about a very interesting Kansas town.

Special thanks goes out to Dana, for being all-around awesome and helping make this interview happen; to the folks who helped come up with good ideas for interview questions (Hi, Donna and Russ!); to Brian Selzer for the initial editing of this interview; and to Al Gough and Miles Millar for the time and for giving this interview the final look-through. This is an excellent team with a great amount of enthusiasm for this series.
