When did you become a Michael fan?

My dad recorded the Dangerous concert in Bucharest for me late one friday night. I watched it the next day, fell in love, and I have loved him ever since!

Thats easy

To explain, I was never a Superman fan, he was a bit irritating and to goody two shoes for me, I always was more of a Dark Knight kinda girl. I like them dark, angst ridden, brooding and dangerous. So seeing as the show was Superman's teen years, I avoided the show like the plague when it first aired over here.


So one day in June last year I had the TV on in the background for noise, when this voice caught my attention, I looked up and that was me I was hooked. This gorgeous man with lovely eyes and sexy voice was arguing with John Glover. He was all intense and dangerous and sexy as hell. Then he got knocked out (I discovered this was a regular occurrence for Lex) then he got tied up (again regular occurrence) Then blown up. So he ends up stuck in a caved in tunnel with his ex best friend. The episode it turns out was Nemisis and I loved it.

I was so caught up in the dynamic with Lex his father and Clark so much so that I got hold of all seven seasons and watched them all. Michael just blew me away, his performance as Lex was wonderful, watching the friendship with Clark disintegrate, the battles with his father. I'm not saying Lex is a saint *g* but when you watch the hurt/pain on Lex's face every time he is lied to, manipulated, pushed. Michael brought all that pain to the surface and showed us a character that was more than just the two dimensional bad guy of the movies and comics. Michael showed us someone that wanted to fit in, to be liked, loved, trusted. (Just as Clark did.) And he forced us to care, to feel for Lex. (Can you tell that I am a Lex girl )

I watched the whole decent of Lex in awe. Michael's and John Glover's performances were amazing.
And god is Michael good at being scarily evil.

So thats how I became hooked. Then I discovered that Michael was the cute guy I liked in Urban Legend.

So thats how I became hooked.

That's really interesting to read how fans of Michael really have become fans, and from all what i've been reading lately, Smallville has been a very huge turn for Michael and his career, well i'm happy Smallville helped him to be in the spotlight but I also hope his character as Lex Luthor won't stick to him all his life, ... coz that was just among many characters he played, although it was one of the most important one.

What really bothers me sometimes is that when I talk to my friends about addiction to Michael and my website they don't know him at all, but just right after you tell them about Smallville they all happen to know him as Lex Luthor, ... but that wasn't his just one and only thing he did.

Well that's why websites like mine exist, to spread the word about him and help him to be know on all over the world, and let them know about his different projects, .. we just need one thing now, and it's a very interesting TV Show/ Movie project, that will help him turn the page of Smallville and Lex Luthor, once and for all lol (as you can see i'm not a huge fan of Smallville, especially after you see what kind of potential Michael has, .. smallville was just another job and a way to make himself known among the producers).

I thought he was a great actor, when I saw him as Lex. But still, John Glover is awesome too but I didn't become his fan, right?

It was the bloopers! The plane, where he walks in, all Austin Powers and LOOKS like sad dysfunctional TRAGIC Lex and ACTS like happy, goofy, weird, VERY funny Michael.

I was so interested in him after that, that I spent hours watching vids on yt and reading interviews after that. And the HAIR made me fall in love. Awesome sexy. I love Lex, I even love his bald look (Interesting cause I usually don't) but MICHAEL just rocks

I have to hold my hand up and yell Smallville! I got the first series on ebay because a friend was always on about it and got hooked, then I bought the box sets as soon as I could and just loved Lex arch. I got hooked on seeing Lex walking this narrow line and having so many chances to go to the good side but giving in to the evil. I knew I had to get hold of everything he had ever done asap to see what else he could do.

With each thing I saw I was more and more impressed, the decision to do my site was because I was sick of people just knowing him as Lex. He is amazing but like you said Hamlat people dont know his name just that he was Lex Luthor! He is an incredible actor and his work in Sorority boys, for example, was halarious!

OK before I start ranting to MR fans how fab he is I shall stop but yeah thats why lol
