In some ways, Rosenbaum hasn't been able to get a break. Initially he was vilified for apparently refusing to appear in the finale, and now he's taking a lot of hits for having only spent one day on the set filming, suggesting Lex won't have much of a presence.
"We did a lot," he tells Zap2It. "I know people thought, 'Oh, he only went up for one day.' We did 19 hours. Okay, for anyone out there who is like, 'Oh, he only went out there for one day,' I was up there for 19 hours. We did four different things. Two nice scenes and then two other specialty things that I won't tell you about. I'm a part of the finale and I think it's important."
In terms of the impact Smallville had on his life, Rosenbaum adds, "It's a part of life, a part of my life that I'll always remember and that I'll look fondly on. What can I say? Great times. It's nice that it's finally ending, to end that chapter in your life."
