Theres a lot to be said aboutLex Luthor.

But one particular performer felt a bit left out in the cold.

This is something that Jon Cryer greatly regrets:

“The whole Arrowverse was just one for the nerds.

I loved being a nerd.

I loved reveling in it.

I think they managed to really crack it by being by being faithful to who Superman is.

And my biggest regret is that I never was on it.”
