Paul Wesley In Smallville Magazine #14
Issue #14 of the Official Smallville Magazine is now hitting newsstands and comic book stores. It offers the latest in Smallville news, interviews with Erica Durance (Lois Lane), Annette O'Toole (Martha Kent), and Paul Wesley (Lucas Dunleavy-Luthor), and writer/producers Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson, a look at Brainiac in the comics to screen, an exclusive story, and much, much more.

Here are some highlights from Bryan Cairns' interview with Paul Wesley, who played Lex Luthor's brother Lucas in the episode "Prodigal":

On Lucas and his motivation:
"Even though Lucas did things that were probably not the nicest things in the world, he had his own justification in his mind. It is up to the audience to decide whether or not they want to sympathize and have compassion for Lucas or if they think he's completely arrogant. I can't be biased toward my own character. As Paul the actor, Lucas is a good guy but I'd say that about any character I played that did something bad. There's always denial."

About missing out on plans to bring Lucas back to the show:
"During filming, my manager called and said, 'The called over and want to do this and have a potential storyline," explains Paul. "I was really excited because I had fun. What happened was I signed on to do a pilot three weeks after I got home from shooting Smallville. Contractually, I was obligated to that show so I wasn't able to be a guest star because they are sooting in the middle of pilot season. I got messed up in that regard and the show I did didn't get picked up, so I wish I had stayed with Smallville.

"It could have been better for me. The thing that is cool is Smallville will probably be on for a few more years and there's the possibility that Lucas can come back. It was very 'I'll be back' and that is it. I think the viewers responded well to Lucas and would like to see him resolve things."

All this and more are in The Official Smallville Magazine #14!
