'Smallville's Aaron Ashmore Discusses Superman Character Role With MIchael Rosenbaum
Smallville star Aaron Ashmore has been reflecting on his departure from the popular The CW series, and how he is still a little put out by how his role of “Jimmy” Olsen was flipped on the show.
Ashmore appeared with his former costar, Michael Rosenbaum, on the Inside of You podcast, and naturally talk turned to their time on Smallville. Addressing the way his character was shockingly killed off in the show, the actor also recalled finding out that he wasn’t playing Jimmy Olsen as he originally believed. He said:
“I don't know... Literally, what they told me, was that because this wasn't the actual Superman timeline, this canon that we all know, it's slightly different. 'You can't be Jimmy Olsen because it's too young. Clark needs to be older,' all this sort of stuff. So at first, I was bummed, because I've been doing all these interviews for three years.
