  Jensen
Ackles & Eric Johnson In Smallville Magazine #6:
Interview Highlights!
The
sixth issue of Titan's official Smallville magazine is
now starting to hit newsstands. The issue features interviews
with two actors who played the men in Lana Lang's life, Jensen
Ackles and Eric Johnson.
 Here
are some highlights from what they had to say. First, we'll
start with Jensen Ackles, who joined the series with the current
season.
On
what Jensen would like to see from his character of Jason Teague:
"I'd like to see more of who he is and where he comes
from. A lot of the character choices have been pulled from thin
air. I know that he is a rich guy from Metropolis who has probably
grown up with a fairly interesting life, but what that interesting
life entails, I'm not quite sure. Lex and Jason have a scene
in 'Recruit' where Lex says, 'You used to fly all over the world,
and your mother used to take you on all these exotic trips to
the far reaches of the Earth', and then he starts insinuating
that she was doing it for other reasons apart from vacationing.
So he was a young guy going to these third world countries and
having these experiences that not many people would have. It's
those kind of things that are interesting to me in who this
guy is and how he's gotten to where he is now. What sort of
thoughts go on in his head - what sort of grey thoughts
are going on in his head?"
Jensen
on Jason's thoughts about Lana:
"He sees in Lana a breath of fresh air, something that
is real, something that is honest, that is pure."
What
does Jensen know about Jason's future?
"Aside from going to China with Lex, I haven't seen
much beyond that. I'm interested in figuring out what they're
doing. I understand that it's going to be a few episodes with
that storyline as the main focus.
"In
the middle part of the first 13, I felt like I was becoming
just window dressing. I was coming in, saying two lines and
that was about it. I didn't get too upset, because the other
actors said that it's always a bit of a cycle. There are seven
or eight main players on the show and they can't write a main
storyline for all of us. Everyone takes turns.  I'm
excited to be doing something now to advance my character so
he doesn't seem like just a decoration on a Christmas tree.
That's exciting for me, but at the same time it sucks that the
other characters don't get that exposure. Hooking up with Lex
and Clark instantly brings me to the forefront of the show.
I'm excited about the next six episodes..."
