Exclusive: Smallville Snags Hidden Hunk
Michael Cassidy by Frank Ockenfels/The CW
Stop the presses -
Smallville has found its new "Daily Planet" editor!
Sources confirm that
Michael Cassidy (
Hidden Palms,
The O.C.) has scored the top job, replacing Carrie Fisher's barely visible Pauline Kahn. Cassidy will appear in at least six episodes and,
as I reported in early June, his character is being groomed as a love interest for Lois Lane.
Curiously, the role
originally called for a thirtysomething actor. Cassidy, however, is a ripe 24. Wonder what
that's about. Feel free to post your theories (and/or general reaction to the casting of Cassidy) in the super convenient comment section below.
