The CW confirms that Callum Blue, a British actor you may know from the WB’s short-lived Related or Showtime’s Secret Diary of a Call Girl, has been cast as Phantom Zone baddie Zod for season nine of Smallville. Blue will be a regular next year. As previously reported, Smallville’s other newbie will be Brian Austin Green as baddie Metallo.

Terence Stamp played the part in the 1980s Superman film series. He was Zod! I did a quick search and found out that the dude in the island (Fantasy Island) is the same dude who knocked Christopher Reeves in Superman 2! Cool!
