IGN has revealed that Gil Bellows of Ally McBeal fame will be appearing in the Smallville episode “Charade.”
Bellows will be playing DC Comics character Maxwell Lord, whose coming to the show was revealed on KryptonSite on Feb. 12.
The IGN article reveals the role could be recurring, which is a good sign that there may be a tenth season of the show, since there are only three episodes beyond “Charade” for him to possibly recur.
