Here's a little weirdo fact that Adam Brody fans probably already know: he was a villain on Smallville pre-Gilmore Girls, pre-O.C., pre-, well, anything besides Judging Amy and a bit role as Customer #1 in City Guys (anyone remember that series?) So here I am, watching my Smallville reruns when Brody shows up onscreen as Justin Gaines, an art student who's hands were crippled in a hit and run and who now has telekinetic powers. Will Brody/Dave/Seth be Brody/Dave/Seth, I ask myself? Will he love comic books and talk fast and essentially geek out? Verily, indeed, he does—the creepy telekinesis barely matters. As a character actor goes, he's infinitely entertaining, even with his swan neck, open-mouthed gaze, and oddly charming inflection.Just wanted to let everyone know.
Annnndddd! Smallville trivia bit: in minute 14 of Episode 119, Brody (as Justin) drops a bunch of drawings. Very briefly, we catch a glimpse of a well-rendered vision of Superman, complete with cape and blazing insignia. Ahh, it's always in the details, isn't it?

Being the Superman/Adam Brody fan that I am, I decided to check out Adam's guest role for myself. He's good, but you did get one thing wrong. It's not a picture of Superman that falls out the papers he drops, it's the blue crow mascot of Smallville high. It comes in at 10:55 on the DVD. It does look awfully close, though.
