Brian Austin Green flies to 'Smallville'
Twitter
Brian Austin Green isn't going to "One Tree Hill," and there's been no movement on his pilot "Body Politic," but it looks like he'll turn up on The CW next season anyway.
Green is set to play a bad guy on "Smallville's" ninth season, TV Guide reports. He'll slip into the artificial skin and kryptonite-powered body of Metallo for at least the first two episodes of the season, which kicks off on Sept. 25.
So he's going from fighting cyborgs on "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" to playing one himself.
Metallo's alter ego is Daily Planet reporter John Corben, which means he'll be in close contact with Clark and Lois. (That backstory also jibes with at least one of the villain's DC Comics incarnations.)
Green was in talks to join "One Tree Hill," playing a sports agent, this season, but he ended up passing on the part a couple weeks ago. He was also attached to "Body Politic," the D.C.-set pilot that really should still find a home somewhere.

Wonderful career move, Brian. Two episodes of a Friday night series, vs. a season-long job in primetime on Monday. Hope Clark really cleans your clock.
Smallville is on Thursday nights!
Ooh no its Mr. Evil Has-Been...
@phil - Smallville will be on Friday nights next season.
Jonah mabe you should take over for his agents you know so much. Dummy, I think it is a good move. He just developed a Sci Fi following from sarah Connor. Why not keep it happy and try to extend it?
someone likes nuts obviously...and i bet you want it extended..
This loser should count his blessings he's still able to get a job and collect a paycheck. There's a ton of no-talent hacks like him that aren't nearly as lucky.
While SMALLVILLE has run hot & cold ---due to suit fiddling, any news from a decent scripted show, is preferable to the slew of garbage reality crap routinely filling this site.
If Brian channels his rage from M Fox's waffling, he'll be one nasty Metallo style prick...
I never really thought much of BAG in 90210 but he really did a great job in TTSCC. Unfortunately, my patience for Smallville is waning so I don't know if I'll be watching next season.
I have to agree with Jonah. I don't know BAG's reasoning, and probably never will, but it seems quite ludicrous to p*** up a Series Regular role paying 70k per episode on OTH (that's atleast a 22 episode order) for a limited run guest appearance on Smallville.
