The second annual Salute to Smallville convention is happening in Chicago in a few weeks, and today, Creation Entertainment added another guest!

Brian Austin Green, who played John Corben a.k.a. “Metallo” in three episodes of Smallville Season 9, is joining the lineup of guests – a list that includes such folks as Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Kreuk, Erica Durance, Sam Jones III, John Schneider, John Glover, Aaron Ashmore and more. KryptonSite’s Craig Byrne will be one of the hosts for the event alongside Derek Russell of the House of El.

Happening September 13-14, 2025, tickets for the event can be purchased here.

Celebrated actor Terence Stamp, who played Zod in the iconic Christopher Reeve Superman movies decades before taking the role of the voice Superman’s Kryptonian father, Jor-El, on Smallville, has passed away. He was 87 years old.

“He leaves behind an extraordinary body of work, both as an actor and as a writer that will continue to touch and inspire people for years to come,” Stamp’s family said in a statement. “We ask for privacy at this sad time.”

First heard on Smallville in Season 2, the looming presence of Jor-El was often random but always delivered with extreme authority thanks to Stamp’s unique vocals. It added gravitas to a role that for the most part was only heard and not seen. According to IMDb, Stamp’s voice could be heard in 23 episodes of Smallville’s 218-episode run.

Of course, Super-things were only a small part of Stamp’s long career. The 1990s film The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was iconic in its LGBTQ+ depictions; he also dipped into another genre franchise with Star Wars: The Phantom Menace where he played Chancellor Valorum.

His work will always be enjoyed and he will surely be missed.

Pete “The Boss” Ross is back!

You’re not going to say “Damn, who’s that?” when Sam Jones III appears at Creation Entertainment’s second annual Salute to Smallville convention – joining his co-stars from the early seasons of Smallville including Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Kreuk and more!

Last year’s convention was a very fun experience for all, and this year in Chicago should make for a great repeat! The convention is happening in the Chicago, IL area at the Westin O’Hare Hotel September 13 and 14.

But that’s not all! KryptonSite’s webmaster Craig Byrne as well as the OG of Smallville podcasters, Derek Russell of SHoE, will be returning to emcee the convention yet again! We had a fantastic time last year and can’t wait to see everyone again!
