Personal Quote:

[on hearing of plans to bring the Spike character back for a third WB series] As long as I could do it within, say, the next four or five years. Past that, I'm too old. Spike's a vampire, man, and I've got high standards - you have to believe that the guy has not aged since we met him. There's a little poetic license... See more »

Trivia:

Has played two of Superman's arch enemies. On the TV series Smallville, he played "Milton Fine", AKA "Brainiac". In the animated video Superman/Doomsday, he played the voice role of "Lex Luthor". See more »
