Derek Russell of the Starkville House of El caught up with John Schnieder to discuss his return to Smallville.

Here are couple of excerpts of what Schnieder had to say.

About Earth 2 Jonathan:

"Jonathan exists in 2nd Earth and has had a very different path than the Jonathan we all know. I can’t tell you how different though, but far different than how we saw him at the beginning of the season."

On being in the series finale:

"I am returning to Vancouver, yes. No idea what they have in store for me yet, but I’m returning. So excited."

How he would like to see Smallville end:

"I still feel it needs to end with Jonathan sending him off once and for all. Or Jonathan and Jor-El together (like) Yoda and Obi-Wan. Like I said, not sure how it’s going to play out but I feel strongly that Jonathan should be there in the end to see Superman."

What it was like to come back:

"It felt like I was the homecoming King! I’ve enjoyed every minute of Jonathan’s return this year and am so happy to have been a part of the show again."

What he loved about the Kent episode:

"There is a bit of a switch in this one. A changing of or turning of the guard this time around. An opportunity for Clark to give Jonathan the strength to move forward for once instead of the other way around. It’s quite a wonderful script. Some beautiful moments. Jeannot [Szwarc] was the perfect director for this one!"

One thing he wished he would have got to do on Smallville:

"Oh, I still wish Jonathan had been trapped with Lionel for a few days somewhere. An entire episode devoted to it. Just so they could have found out more about each other. What made them tick."

Catch Schnieder when Smallville returns on April 15, 2011.

The one actor from the series I wouldn't mind in the movie...

John Schneider to date is the best papa Kent period. He absolutely ripped the role, nobody has ever done it better!! I'm a big Costner fan and think him being cast was the best move possible, but he has some big shoes to fill!

Not to sound mean here, but this is old news, guys. I put this up weeks ago in News, remember?

I gave the same link to the interview. Still, it's nice to see it get mentioned again.

Leee777 - Brother, bro...are you coming or going lmao. You either with us or just standing in the way lmao. I see put some favorable remarks and articles and then you against lol. It is what it is, I take it as the weekly cb fix. It's been bad but with the bad there has been good.

One more thing, you won. Leave the upcoming Super and Canvil separate. I see you always throw in a Smallville jab here or there. lol

best father ever in a show!.....i wish my dad was Johnathan Kent lol

MaddMonkk - 3/26/2011, 9:56 AM

Sadly Mr. Schnieder and Ms. O'Toole was the only class i found in this show, Sorry. I tried to like it.Really. Just can't.

HarrisonBergeron - 3/26/2011, 10:02 AM

@MaddMonkk- What about Glover? He's the top dog for sure.

---

We never got an explanation for Johnathan's appearance earlier in the season, hopefully there is an explanation for that given eventually. I'm hoping that he is SV's version of High Father which could work well in a finale.
