- Smallville: Haced camino para Booster Gold (IGN.com):
Smallville: Haced camino para Booster Gold
Hablamos con el actor Eric Martsolf sobre el traer el héroe de DC buscador de publicidad a Smallville.
Por Eric Goldman US, 21 de Abril, 2011


Con tan sólo quedando un mes hasta el episodio final de Smallville, la serie está ofreciendo la introducción de su último gran héroe de Dc Cómics esta semana, en el aptamente titulado "Booster." Sí, es tiempo para que Booster Gold haga su camino hasta Metrópolis, tanto si a Clark Kent le gusta como si no, en un episodio escrito por Geoff Johns de DC Comics. Interpretando al héroe amante de la publicidad del futuro está la estrella Eric Martsolf de Days of Our Lives, en una interpretación muy divertida y atractiva. Hablé con Martsolf sobre el tomar el papel de Booster, la búsqueda que hizo, el trabajar con Tom Welling (quien dirigió el episodio), la participación de Blue Beetle en el episodio y más.

IGN TV: Booster Gold no es exactamente lo que imaginamos, en cuanto a cómo un superhéroe actúa. ¿cómo le describirías?

Eric Martsolf: El tipo es definitivamente más de lo que aparenta. En la superficie, lo miras y piensas, "Éste es un fanfarrón. Éste es un payaso. Éste es básicamente Ron Burgundy de Anchorman en azul y oro." Y sinceramente, esa fue mi primera impresión dobre el tipo cuando empecé a investigar sobre él. Pero es definitivamente más que eso. Es un personaje con muchas capas, porque los fans de los cómics sabrán que su historia es de todo menos gloriosa. Tuvo una infancia horrible. Tenía un padre jugador y degenerado. Su madre se estaba muriendo y la única forma que tenía de conseguir el dinero que necesitaba pata que se pusiera bien era a través del juego. Entonces terminó en la cárcel. Es decir este tipo había tenido un pasado problemático. Así es que creo que representa a alguien que básicamente sintió como si hubiera tenido un muy mal comienzo en la vida y que simplemente quiere arreglarlo. Se cruza con el traje, se lo pone y quiere compensarlo por los malos tiempos.

IGN: ¿Qué hace Booster de Clark Kent cuando se lo encuentra?

Martsolf: Bueno, tantea a Clark. Eso se establece por completo. Pero está definitivamente en la ciudad por razones propias. Es su creencia de que puede robarle el título a Clark, porque está muy al tanto de en lo que Clark Kent se convierte en el futuro y Booster quiere esa posición. Quiere esa gloria. Y el episodio del Viernes es Booster en sus orígenes, cuando está en su máximo engreimiento y simplemente en busca de gloria. Ahí es donde empezamos, pero no es necesariamente donde terminamos.

IGN: Imaginaría que las escenas en las que está en su máximo engreimiento tuvieron que ser muy divertidas de rodar.

Martsolf: Pienso que tuve el mejor rodaje de mi vida en esas dos semanas en Vancouver. No sólo por el personaje en sí mismo – y fue divertido de interpretar, no voy a mentirte – sino por el equipo de Smallville, se toman su historia muy, muy seriamente. Y quería estar seguro de que el personaje no acababa como tan sólo un payaso de Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey Circus. Quería que tuviera corazón. Y cuando hablé con Tom Welling sobre el personaje, tenía exactamente la misma idea sobre él. Me dijo, "Eric, pienso que este tipo tiene intergridad. Tan sólo pienso que es un hombre euivocado y quiero estar seguro de que la interpretación toma eso en consideración." Así es que realmente vimos de tú a tú lo que queríamos que Booster fuera y pienso que él tuvo éxito, no sólo directorialmente, sino también como el actor opuesto a Booster.

IGN: Sí, quería preguntar sobre cómo era el trabajar con Tom, porque como has mencionado, no fue sólo tu co-estrella sino tu director. ¿Cómo fue el verle manejar todo eso a la vez?

Martsolf: Lo manejó como un profesional. No es fácil el trabajar duro y ser un actor también y él lo hizo realmente de forma maravillosa. Tiene un temperamento muy suave, pero al mismo tiempo, tiene una actitud muy persistente sobre lo que quiere hacer y lo que quiere conseguir. Estuvimos filmando hasta las 4 de la mañana algunas noches y estaba preparado para hacer otras diez tomas cuando nosotros estábamos listos de meternos en las sábanas. Así es que tengo un montón de admiración por él. El hecho de que Smallville esté acabando no lo frenó en absoluto de trabajar por la noche y tienes que admirar la ética de trabajo de alguien así.

IGN: ¿Cómo fue ponerse en realidad el traje de Booster Gold?

Martsolf: Bueno lo primero de todo, ¡fue jodidamente difícil ponerse esa cosa! Es decir es pura piel y estaba ajustada a mi cuerpo, al centímetro. Fue increíblemente difícil el meterme en eso el primer día. Creo que en el último día de grabación, se hizo ligeramente confortable. Pero era necesario. Booster Gold definitivamente no tendría nada de las rebajas de los almacenes Nordstrom. Querían estar seguros de que este tipo tuviera el traje más ajustado y a la medida que jamás hubiera sido concebido por un superhéroe, porque eso es de lo que va él. Es sobre todo apariencia y tenía que ser buena. Y quiero darle el crédito al departamento de vestuario de Smallville. Lo bordaron. Es decir cuando vi esa cosa colgada, cuando entré en la sala de vestuario de Vancouver, me convertí en un niño de 12 años. "¡¿Puedo ponérmelo?!" Y ellos me dijeron, "Aún tenemos que hacerle algunas modificaciones." Y yo, "Sí... ¡¿pero puedo ponérmelo ahora mismo?!" Pienso que el episodio es genial en esa manera también. Es realmente una vuelta a los viejos cómics y eso es lo que Geoff Johns hace tan bien. No es cirugía cerebral, pero es pura genialidad del cómic lo que este chico describe. Me sentí real, realmente afortunado de ser parte de este episodio, porque pienso que es uno realmente bueno.

IGN: Mencionaste que habías hecho algunas investigaciones después de que consiguieras el papel. ¿Miraste atrás y viste algunas de sus más antiguas apariciones en los cómics?

Martsolf: Oh sí, eso no hace falta decirlo. Había oído de Booster Gold cuando me ofrecieron el trabajo, pero mi conocimiento de él era muy mínimo, así es que fuí online e hice toda la búsqueda que pude. Mi esposa se me acercó como a las 2 de la mañana algunas noches, preguntando, "¡¿Qué estás haciendo?!" "Um, estoy tan sólo comprobando a este chico." Pero cuanto más buscaba, más emocionado me ponía de interpretarlo, porque realmente sentí que este era el personaje y la historia que necesitaba ser contada. Y también estaba preguntándome por qué Booster Gold había aparecido tan tarde en el juego en la serie de Smallville, pero resultó que realmente tenía un propósito. Este episodio impulsa la transición de Clark Kent desde el Borrón al superhéroe, porque le ayuda a abrazar la comerciabilidad y el estilo de Supermán. Hay sitio para ambos elementos. Clark es substancia, Booster Gold es estilo y cuando esos dos chicos se chocan, básicamente tienes dos elementos que hacen al héroe.

IGN: Un componente clásico del Booster de los cómics es su relación con Blue Beetle. ¿Puedes hablar un poco sobre cómo este episodio incorpora a Blue Beetle?

Martsolf: Bueno, sí, históricamente, Blue Beetle y Booster Gold, son responsables de muchos momentos cómicos en el mundo de los cómics. Pero la amistad necesitaba ser explorada y Geoff Johns sabía que tenía que meterse ahí. Su relación con Jaime es más la de un padre y un hijo. Pasa a eso. Y su relación con Ted Kord, aunque no se exlora completamente en este episodio, lo tocan. Y como los fans de los cómics saben,Ted Kord es responsable de construir el traje de Booster después de algunos momentos muy horribles que tuvo. Así es que su amistad es una de las cosas que aborda el episodio.

IGN: Ahora que lo has interpretado, ¡tienes que conseguir hacerte con una figura Booster Gold!

Martsolf: En realidad, ya tengo una. Tengo gemelos de cinco años y les he dado a cada uno una figura de Booster Gold que encontraron en Toys R Us. Estoy mirándola ahora. Está en la habitación de mis niños. Está en su estantería. Se ha convertido últimamente en su juguete favorito. Y como cosa interesante, mis chicos me están escuchando un poco mejor ahora que saben que puedo disparar lásers con las manos. Así es que conseguí algo de credibilidad en ese terreno también.

IGN: Hicieron unas cuantas figuras específicas de Smallville en el pasado. ¿Te gustaría ver una figura de Booster Gold que se vea más como tu versión?

Martsolf: ¡Sabes la respuesta a eso! ¿Estás bromeando? Tener una figura, pienso que eso superaría con mucho a todo. No sé de nada mejor además de tener una figura de un superhéroe hecha de tí. Eso sería la personificación de mi pequeña carrera, probablemente.

IGN: Y en este punto, tus hijos definitivamente tendrían que escuchar a todo lo que dijeras

Martsolf: ¡Exactamente!

¡¡Eric Martsolf brinca de un sólo salto de Brady a Booster en el episodio de esta noche de Smallville!!
Por Jim Halterman 22 de Abril, 2011


Imaginad mi sorpresa cuando hace unas cuantas semanas TV Guide y había una foto de Eric Martsolf (quien mis lectores regulares sabrán que he entrevistado en numerosas ocasiones por Days Of Our Lives) en un traje de superhéroe para su apariión en el éxito de la CW Smallville. ¿Qué hice? Corrí al teléfono y concreté una entrevista para hablar sobre su papel como Booster Gold (quien aparece esta noche en el episodio dirigido por Tom Welling).

Ahora, siremos que tuve la buena fortuna de ya haber visto el episodio “Booster” que se emite esta noche antes de hablar con Eric y, en resumen, el episodio y Mr. Martsolf son ambos increíblemente fantásticos. Para los leales fans de Days, deberíais saber que Booster y Brady no se parecen mucho pero ver a Eric brillando en este papel es un verdadero placer. Así es que, sin desvelar mucho, estad seguros de sintonizar Smallville esta noche las 8/7c en la CW.

Jim Halterman: Lo primero de todo, hablemos sobre el traje de Booster. Dime, ¿cómo se sintió la primera vez que te lo pusiste?

Eric Martsolf: ¿Cómo sabía que ibas a preguntarme eso inmediatamente?

JH: ¡Por supuesto!

EM: Te lo diré, el traje finalmente se hizo cómodo el último día de grabación porque esta cosa tenía tantas medidas meticulosas unidas a él... ¡Nunca había tenido tal prenda en mi cuerpo antes! Literalmente tenía medidas que jamás había oído antes como ‘del dedo gordo del pie a la rótula.’ El traje estaba diseñado y hecho para mí y era totalmente de piel así es que no transpiraba demasiado bien. ¡Pero pienso que resultó fabuloso! Realmente se veía bien y algunas veces tienes que dejar de lado el factor de comodidad para conseguir el resultado brillante.

JH: Y por supuesto, no estoy seguro de que haya espacio para mí para que haga ninguna broma sobre la coquilla.

EM: Bueno, Justin Hartley y yo nos reímos mucho sobre eso, también. Pienso que él fue intrumental en estar seguro de que le ponían una coquilla a Booster.

JH: ¿Tuviste que ajustar tu estilo de actuación? Incluso aunque Smallville tiene su propio sentido de abandono de la realidad como las telenovelas de día, es defitivamente diferente.

EM: Not realmente, si te soy sincero. Hay una suspensión de la incredulidad. Smallville es una telenovela tanto como Days of our Lives. Tan sólo tiene muchos más elementos sobrenaturales en ella, por supuesto. Pero las historias humanas son muy, muy parecidas. No hay personajes en Smallville que tengan las adicciones que Brady Black tenía en Days Of Our Lives pero tienen otros problemas con los que tratar. El personaje de Booster es increíble en ese sentido porque hace que Clark Kent se tenga que meter en el plato y diga ‘Hey, ¡las mallas son guays! ¿Por qué no les das una oportunidad?’ [risas] ¡Booster es como el Proyecto Runway para Clark Kent!

JH: ¿Cómo fue de divertido el interpretar al arrogante capullo que es Booster cuando se lo encuentra por primera vez?

EM: Sobre todas las cosas, tuvimos muchas conversaciones sobre quién era Booster Gold realmente y desde el primer día vimos de tú a tú que se trataba más de un hombre equivocado y una persona incomprendida con un potencial heróico más que un egomaníaco y un capullo, por así decirlo. Si miras la historia de Booster Gold, su infancia es horrible. Tenía un padre degenerado y jugadory una madre que estaba muriendo por enfermedad y la razón por la que Booster Gold se metió en el juego fue para pagar la medicina para mantener a su madre viva y eso es lo que lo metió en las zonas grises por las que es conocido. Miramos a este personaje y es como Ron Burgundy en Anchorman. Defiitivamente es un engreído pero debajo de ese engreimiento descansa un chico, un ser humano que es imperfecto y que comete errores y si eso no es algo con lo que te puedas identificar, no sé qué demonios lo es.

JH: ¿Cómo de estupendo fue el ser dirigido por el mismo Supermán, Tom Welling?

EM: Fue genial. Tom es realmente un buen director y realmente empleó tiempo hasta el punto en el que eran las cuatro de la mañana y dije ‘Tom, tenemos que irnos a la cama’ y él dijo ‘No, no, no, ¡hagamos esta toma como seis veces más!’ Realmente se tomó tiempo para hacerlo bien y como dije tuvimos un montón de conversaciones sobre el episodio y el personaje pero no no dejó que nada se le interpusiera, eso es seguro. Fue como si fuéramos dos niños en una tienda de caramelos pasando un buen rato.

JH: Si Booster alguna vez se convirtiera en algo a tiempo completo, ¿estarías a bordo para ello o te preocuparías de ser encasillado? Tom ha hecho un buen trabajo haciendo otras muchas cosas como dirigir y producir.

EM: ¿Bromeas? Abrazaría las aventuras de Booster Gold en un pestañeo. ¡Estoy seguro de que habría una manera de hacer a Brady Black y a Booster Gold al mismo tiempo! Pero dejando las bromas a un lado, ha sido un honor el interpretar a este personaje. Es un sueño de todo niño el ser un superhéroe. Estuve corriendo en mi ropa interior de Supermán cuando tenía cuatro años y ahora como adulto sigo corriendo con esos trajes pero ahora es de verdad. No puedo subestimar el factor de emoción al traer a esos personajes de la Liga de la Justicia a la vida. ¿Una serie? ¿Estás bromeando? Pienso que Tom Welling es el tipo más afortunado en la faz de la Tierra y merece todo el crédito y se ha mantenido humilde durante todo el proceso. ¿Por qué no?

- Eric Marstolf se sitúa en el Centro de la Atención de Smallville Spotlight como Booster Gold (TVGuide):
Eric Marstolf se sitúa en el Centro de la Atención de Smallville Spotlight como Booster Gold
Por Rich Sands 22 de Abril, 2011 07:00 AM ET


He's "the greatest hero you've never heard of." Unless you're a fan of DC Comics mythos, you probably aren't familiar with Booster Gold, a secondary character whose popularity is mainly confined to fanboy (and girl) circles. But after this week's episode of Smallville, non-comics fans are likely to be joining the Gold rush. Played with charming enthusiasm by guest star Eric Martsolf, Booster Gold is a fame-seeking pretty boy who seems as interested in publicity and corporate sponsorships as he is fighting crime. His mysterious arrival in Metropolis coincides with Clark (Tom Welling) struggling to adopt a more mild-mannered personality when not on superhero duty. TV Guide Magazine talked to Martsolf — currently steaming up afternoon TV as boozy, screwed up Brady Black on the NBC soap Days of Our Lives — about his own path to Smallville glory.

TV Guide Magazine: In the small world of Hollywood, Lindsay Hartley — the wife of Smallville's Justin Hartley — has played your romantic costar on both Passions and Days of Our Lives. Were the Hartleys connected to you getting this role?
Martsolf: Lindsey's been my leading lady for like nine years. I knew her before Justin was married to her. That was the first phone call that I made when this audition came across my desk. I called Hartley and said, "What do you know about this Booster thing?" And Justin was like, "What are you talking about? I was hoping to get you up on the episode that I was directing." He had no idea about Booster, so Justin did not get me the job so to speak. I think I earned this one all by myself.

TV Guide Magazine: Sorry, I wasn't insinuating that you hadn't...
Martsolf: Oh, I thought about it. [Laughs] I thought. "Is my buddy doing a favor?"

TV Guide Magazine: What brings Booster Gold to Smallville?
Martsolf: First of all, the episode is written by [DC Comics chief creative officer] Geoff Johns, who is a comic-book god. What he does so well is take real moral issues and life lessons and intertwines it into an awesome comic-book story. And essentially what this episode is about is style versus substance. You have the epitome of style and glitz and self-promotion in Booster Gold, versus Clark Kent, who prefers to remain in the shadows as the Blur. And once you put these two guys together it's a really interesting rivalry. Booster Gold is a glory-seeking showboat from the future. The episode takes place in Booster's very early stages where he's at his conceited best, where he believes he can do whatever he wants. He's gonna stay for the photo op and bask in the glory of his heroic efforts — which is exactly what Clark is trying to avoid right now. Clark wants to stand in the back and not be a glory hound. They are completely opposites of one another.

TV Guide Magazine: Another DC Comics favorite, Blue Beetle, is also part of this episode, too.
Martsolf: Right, and that's another thread story that Geoff Johns throws in there, that historic friendship between the Blue Beetle Ted Kord and Booster Gold. It's wonderful how he marries the two stories together. It all makes sense in the end. It's rich in comic book history, but it's also a vehicle for Clark to start to embrace the marketability of Superman and what he could potentially be. I think the episode also serves as a lesson in moderation. [Laughs] Clark needs a little more acceptance of the style and the branding of what he could do and Booster could use a little less of it. It's interesting how Clark Kent delivers that to him.

TV Guide Magazine: Do you read comics? Were you familiar with this character before you got this role?
Martsolf: All I know is ran around in Incredible Hulk Underoos when I was younger, so that's a pretty early start. I love comic books, I've seen all the movies. I was actually unfamiliar with Booster Gold and I was so fortunate to hear that he's a member of the Justice League and he has a rich, rich history.

TV Guide Magazine: How was it working with Tom Welling, who also directed this episode?
Martsolf: I had never met Tom before and with five minutes of shaking his hand I felt like I grew up with the guy. We both have family roots in Michigan, so we talked about that. We had some really good chemistry and we met eye to eye on who the character was and what he should be, that he's misunderstood. It was a great collaboration. Tom is tireless. He would stay up 'til all hours of the night to get the shot that he wanted.

TV Guide Magazine: It sounds like a Booster Gold spinoff series would be fun.
Martsolf: I think the Warner Bros. would be crazy not to entertain it. [Laughs] I'm waiting for The Adventures of Booster Gold to come to fruition. It's interesting because that always goes through your mind: How can this guy come back? Being from the future he could fly around to any time period and get into trouble, so it opens up some possibilities for a series. Anything can happen in the world of superheroes. I wouldn't be surprised if Booster Gold showed up on my soap opera!

TV Guide Magazine: Which leads right into my next question: How do you compare the fantastical worlds of Smallville and Salem?
Martsolf: I think the two genres have more similarities than you think. I think the biggest difference would be that Booster Gold is clothed most of the time and Brady Black of Days of Our Lives rarely has any clothes on!

- Entrevista: ¡Eric Martsolf Habla sobre "Booster"! (K-Site):
Entrevista: ¡Eric Martsolf Habla sobre "Booster"!
Por Craig Byrne 22 de Abril, 2011


DC Comics fan favorite Geoff Johns wites and Tom Welling directs the new episode of Smallville airing on Friday, April 22, which brings DC's Booster Gold and Blue Beetle into the show's mythology.

Titled "Booster," the episode largely centers on the Booster Gold character, who is portrayed by Days Of Our Lives actor Eric Martsolf. We've seen the episode (read the review) and Martsolf embodies the character *perfectly.* Earlier this week, Martsolf spoke with KryptonSite's Craig Byrne about playing the character and what we should expect from tonight's episode.

Most heroes have a secret origin. What was your secret origin as far as landing the role of Booster Gold?

I basically got involved the way every stereotypical actor does. I auditioned for the role. I went in there with the glasses and with the attitude, and eventually sold myself, much in the way Booster Gold would do, actually.

Was playing a comic book hero always on your list of things to someday do?

Honestly, isn't it on every guy's list of things to do? I think it's definitely something that I have always thought about doing ever since I became an actor.

When my buddy Justin Hartley became the Green Arrow a couple of years ago, he was always giving me slack. "Hey, man! I've got an action figure! I've got this, and I've got this leather suit," and I'm like "well, I'm going to have my day," and sure enough, I slipped one in there right under the radar and became Booster Gold, and honestly, I couldn't have thought of a better character to portray.

Did you check out any of the animated Booster Gold appearances or the comic books, or were you already familiar with the character?

I had heard of him, but my knowledge of him was very minimal. He kind of left the canvas for a while, so I let my fingers do the walking and I did my homework when I was offered the role. I put in hours and hours of looking at old footage, and I saw the old cartoons. His history is so rich, and this guy had such a problematic childhood. The ways he achieved his superhero status is unreal. Having the degenerate gambling father, having turned to gambling himself to take care of his mother's ailing condition... it's actually a heart-wrenching story. I'm very privileged to play a role that has such depth in it.

For this episode, what is Booster Gold doing in our time period, anyway?

As you know, he has futuristic capabilities thanks to the lovely suit that he stole, and in the 21st century he knows everything that's happening, thanks to his trusty Skeets.

But he's there to take over to take over Superman's role. He wants Metropolis to have a Man of Gold, and not the Man of Steel, and he knows that getting Lois on his side is one of the more important aspects of getting the love of Metropolis. That's what he's out to do. In the initial stages of the episode, he doesn't come across as the greatest guy in the world, so he definitely has some making up to do.

Why is Booster so set on getting to Lois for attention rather than Cat, who seems to be aggressively pursuing him?

In his estimation, and I'm sure may would agree, Lois is defined as the hero maker. It's her interview that literally was the vehicle for Clark Kent's transformation from good to great; that heroic interview where Metropolis started falling in love with the Man of Steel. Booster believes that if he can be first to get that interview, that he will, in fact, be deemed Metropolis' man of the town.

When you were filming the material with Skeets, was there someone off-camera reading the lines?

Interesting question. There actually was somebody who was the voice of Skeets, and during some of the more action-filled sequences, it was hard to get Skeets to be audible for myself. I had a hard time hearing him. So Skeets was screaming most of the time. That actually was a challenge, absolutely.

How does Booster react to Jaime?

Intially, he pretty much blows him off like he's any other fan. This episode takes place in a time where Booster is at his origin. He's very wrapped up with himself and extremely conceited. And Jaime serves as this wonderful boy with this gigantic issue and problem that becomes forefront in the story, and he serves as Booster's transformation from a man of style to a man of substance. It's actually a really beautiful friendship that these two end up having. Friendships always surface through strange circumstances, and I don't think anything is more foreign than this.

What kind of interaction does Booster have with Ted Kord in the "Booster" episode?

In this particular episode, the friendship between Ted Kord and Booster Gold isn't examined as much as Jaime's and Booster's is. Ted Kord basically serves as a vehicle for Booster to gain more fame in Metropolis. He makes a deal with Ted to retrieve the Scarab that's been causing all kinds of problems. So right now, Ted Kord is not the comic friend that he later becomes wrapped up as in the traditional comics hereafter.

Are there things that Booster and Clark could learn from one another?

Absolutely. I think you nailed it on the head. This episode basically investigates Clark Kent's transition from the Blur to the iconic Superman. Booster is a man of style, and Clark right now is a man of substance, and the real question is, what is the superhero? Is it the suit, or the hero inside? And I think what the episode does a wonderful job of doing, is saying "you know, he can be both." Because let's face it - Superman's costume was never meant to be gray, or white, or black. It's bright, and it's flashy, and this is everything that Booster Gold believes a hero is supposed to be. So they learn from one another, that everything is best in moderation. It's okay to wear the tights and the spandex and have a sense of heroism. You can combine both of them, and it works. So they basically learn from one another.

What was Tom Welling like as a director?

Tom was absolutely terrific. We had a multitude of discussions concerning the character of Booster, and his integrity, and his misunderstood nature. It was clear to me that Tom did not believe that Booster Gold was a villain, or that he was someone to be shunned. He made it very clear to me that "I want people to like this guy. I think he's likable, and I think his intentions are golden." No pun intended on that one. He didn't want Booster to be construed as a bad guy, but more of a misguided man with heroic potential, and we saw eye-to-eye on that. It was very clear that we set out to create the same character.

How did Smallville work around your Days Of Our Lives schedule?

It worked out very well, actually. I only had one episode that was a conflict, but Days Of Our Lives was actually nice enough to move my schedule around to accomodate my trip to Vancouver to play Booster.

I wasn't going to take no for an answer. I was like "I have to wear this suit. I have to portray this guy." I think they saw it. They've been a wonderful family to me, too.

Why should people tune in on Friday night?

It's a pivotal episode. If you're a fan of Smallville and of the character that Clark is, and who Superman is, this is a giant transitional episode. It basically serves as Clark Kent's way of embracing the flashiness and the style of Superman. There are so many iconic moments as well. We're going to see that phone booth for the first time. We're going to see the glasses coming off just right. We all had chills throughout the whole shoot, like "this is finally happening. This is it." It's definitely one not to miss.

Eric Martsolf sobre el Transformarse en el Booster Gold de "Smallville" (CBR.com)
Por Kiel Phegley 22 de Abril, 2011


DC Comics superhero Booster Gold may be infamously known in comic book circles as "The greatest hero you've never heard of," but after this Friday's episode of The CW network's "Smallville," the glory hog time traveler will have a whole new audience thanks to actor Eric Martsolf -- known for his work on NBC's soap "Days of Our Lives" -- and superstar writer Geoff Johns. That's because tonight, the character and his frequent four-color partner Blue Beetle both bow in the "Booster" episode which Johns wrote not only to introduce two of his favorite DC icons into the live action milieu of "Smallville" but also to push the series story further towards its conclusion over the decade-long drama's final four installments.

Even though his character has displayed Gold's well-known show-boating capabilities in previews for the episode, Martsolf told CBR News how he took the responsibility of bringing the 25th Century superhero to life seriously. "Booster Gold is not as well known as some of the others, but the more research I did on the character, the more I realized that this guy has a heck of a history behind him," the actor explained. "It was easy for me to feel that he was just a flash-in-the-pan or a conceited ego maniac and a clown, essentially, in a suit... but that's not the case. The cool thing about the episode is that it really investigates the humanity of this guy Booster Gold. He's really more of a misunderstood man with some real hero potential to him rather than some superficial guy.

"Tom [Welling], who directed the episode, and I had plenty of discussions about Booster -- about his integrity and his misunderstood motivations. And Tom and I saw eye-to-eye on the character from day one. We really wanted him to be a likable guy. We really believed this was a misunderstood man. So he doesn't have so much of a dual identity as he is a product of some awful circumstances that came as a result of his childhood. He had a degenerate gambling father, and he had to pay for his mother's medication through gambling, which led to him being thrown in jail. The guy's had a rough past. It's hard to judge somebody based upon those circumstances, and we're all fallible human beings. This is a guy who's made mistakes, and if we can't relate to that, I don't know what we can relate to."

Of course, Welling has a number of duties on "Smallville" these days outside of starring as the soon to be Super Clark Kent, but Martsolf said that even the triple bill of actor/executive producer/director didn't distract the star from welcoming the latest hero to the show's fold. "I was hanging 20 feet in the air by a harness with Blue Beetle's hand around my neck... and I was up there for hours," the actor laughed. "This was integral to the scene, so it had to be done. And we took a ten or 15-minute break, but I had to stay up in the harness because it took about a half an hour to get me down. The first guy to come up to me and offer me pizza was Tom. It wasn't the stage manager or the catering company. It was this guys wearing three or four hats at the time who was wondering whether I wanted pepperoni or cheese.

"That shows you how Tom is the guy who cares. He's able to take on these multiple responsibilities and multitask. I can't sing his praises enough. He was attentive and made time to have discussions with me about Booster Gold. I give a lot of credit to the 'Smallville' corporation in the sense that they really care about the storytelling. Tom wanted to make sure that these characterizations were real and that they were well thought out and well executed. And I think the product is a darn good episode that comic book fans are going to embrace."

Booster and Blue Beetle square off during the episode

Aside from the high-flying battle between Gold and the Blue Beetle that has been teased in the episode's early screen caps, Martsolf has a history with stunt work on screen and off. "I was actually the Green Goblin in the original Spider-Man musical that was done at Universal Studios about ten years ago," he said. "It was there that I really got a sense of stunt work, and I believe it's important that when you can do those stunts you should do them yourself. It makes the shot so much better and so much more real. So I dig all that stuff. I was like 'Put me up there! Throw me around! Choke me for four hours if it's going to make the shot straight! Just don't kill me.'"

Balancing that work became more challenging when working with Jaren Brandt Bartlett who plays Blue Beetle's alter ego Jaime Reyes both in and out of the large, armored costume the teen hero dons in the episode. "It was tough. I'll be honest with you that the flexibility factor in my suit didn't come around until the last day of shooting. It was pure leather, and it was fitted to me like a glove. So it was actually very difficult to move in as well. There's a point where I had to do a roll off a stage, and that in itself was a lovely painful experience. But the Blue Beetle's costume did prevent him from a lot of movement, so we had to come up with ways to let him breathe and let him move so he had clear vision for all the things we wanted to do. Once again, I attribute that to Tom. He made the shots work, and I've seen footage, and I think he succeeded in bringing these things to life."

Overall, Martsolf explained that Johns' script for the episode didn't just take a "time out" from the larger arc of the series to introduce the DC heroes into "Smallville" continuity. "The episode answers the question as to why Geoff Johns incorporated Booster Gold into the last couple of episodes of 'Smallville,'" he promised. "This is basically a vehicle for Clark Kent to embrace style. It investigates Clark's transition from The Blur into Superman. And Booster Gold represents the epitome of style while Clark Kent at this time in his life is the epitome of substance. And so, I think they learn from one another that with everything in moderation you can have both. You can't have Superman without style. That's not the way kids or adults think of the iconic hero. The hero is never in black, grey and white. He's in blue, red and gold. And that's what you've got to bring to the table if you're going to wrap this story up in a believable package.

"When I first read the script, I thought 'How does Booster Gold fit into the Superman story?' But there's your answer, and it takes a mind like Geoff Johns to really bring that to fruition."

As for the future, "Smallville" may be wrapping its run in the weeks ahead, but would Martsolf be up for more Booster action? "I'm in like Flynn, man!" he laughed. "I would have a hard time saying, 'Nah, I don't want to get into that costume again.' It's been a wild ride. I came home from Vancouver and looked my wife dead in the face and said, 'That was the best shoot of my life to date,' and I mean that sincerely. I would embrace the adventures of Booster Gold in a heartbeat. We'll just have to work it out with 'Days of Our Lives,' but there's room for it."

'Smallville': Eric Martsolf sobre la llegada de Booster Gold, y las dotes de dirección de Welling
by Sandra Gonzalez 22 de Abril, 2011 01:57 PM ET


Days of Our Lives actor Eric Martsolf knew he wasn’t in Salem any more when he first arrived on the set of Smallville. “It was rainy. It was cloudy. I got out of the car and the first thing I see is this 6-foot-5 guy with black hair, and it was Tom [Welling]. He just has this giant smile on his face and goes, ‘Boooooster.’ And I go, ‘Claaaark.’ It was like we instantly had this understanding about how these guys should get along,” Martsolf says. “It was like two kids in a candy store.”

In a chat with EW, Mansolf talks about getting his chance to play Booster Gold, working with star Tom Welling — who also directed tonight’s aptly titled episode, “Booster” — and even touches on the cancellation of two legendary soaps.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What was it like bringing Booster Gold to life? On the show he’s kind of a trip — has a bit of an ego.
ERIC MARTSOLF: I didn’t know much about Booster Gold when I was offered this role, but after doing my homework, I couldn’t be more proud to bring this guy to life. He’s a ball of style. He’s an egomaniac and extremely conceited, but he also has a sense of rich integrity under him. He really does want to do good things, and Tom Welling and I talked about this character for some length on set, and we talked about who we want this guy to be portrayed as. We definitely wanted him to be liked and as someone who had terrific heroic potential, all wrapped in a Ron Burgundy/Anchorman type of guy. He’s such a comical hero, and I think there’s a place for that in the world of superheroes. We gotta laugh.

What can you tell me about everyone’s reaction to him on the show?
He’s that guy you almost want to hate in the beginning. But the trick with Booster Gold is that he’s a much more rich character than we originally think. He has an awful childhood. He has a degenerate gambling father and his mother was very, very sick and he turned to gambling to pay for her medicine. So the origins for Booster Gold are heart-wrenching. The reason he turned to the immoral directions that he did are very sincere. I think the episode serves as a good vehicle to show that.

What can you say about Tom as a director and what he brought out of you as a character?
Tom did a wonderful job directing. I can’t sing his praises enough. When we were on a break and I was stuck in a harness 20 feet above the ground, he was the guy taking my pizza order. It wasn’t anyone from catering. It wasn’t the stage manager. It was the director of the episode. And Tom was like, “Dude, you want pepperoni, or cheese, or anchovies?” It’s things like that in this industry that show you who somebody is.

He did his homework as well. The episode is awesome because it’s a battle of style versus substance. Booster Gold is the pinnacle of style and Clark Kent is the pinnacle of substance. The truth is Superman is a wonderful combination of both. You can’t just have the substance and be the Blur and a shadow. That’s not what people view Superman is. He’s a presence. I think what’s great is that they learn from one another. You can combine the two elements, and that’s a superhero.

Now, not to ruin anything for anyone, but you do have an important line in this episode that nods to what Clark becomes. What was it like getting a chance to be that big of a part in this mythology?
When I originally got the script, and I saw that line in the episode, I jumped up from my seat and yelled to my wife, “Honey, you gotta see this! Guess what I get to say!” I felt like I was 14 years old. But you’re right, without giving too much away, Booster Gold does plant the seed in Clark’s head as to what this person of his could be called. Booster is from the future. He knows darn well what Clark becomes and what he is.

So you’re only in that one episode right?
Yes. But I actually joked around with a producer one moment during the shoot and he said, “I don’t know. Maybe we need to look into the adventures of Booster Gold.” I was like, “Let me know what my call time is. I’d be happy to let Days of Our Lives know we have to work around it.”

Speaking of Days, how sad was the cancellation of One Life to Live and All My Children?
Frankly, I was extremely disappointed. It was a dagger in the heart. Soaps have been my bread and butter and kept my family going for the last nine years. To see them being kicked off for cheaper and easier — for lack of a better word — programming on the schedule is heartbreaking. Justin [Hartley] came from soaps. I could go through a list of giant names who have gone through soaps. It’s a genre all its own. I hope to God that networks don’t kill the genre. I understand that trends need to be kneaded here and there, but I’d be lying to you if I told you it wasn’t a worrisome factor. It’s been my livelihood. If soaps go away, I got a blue and gold costume I could put on.

Eric Martsolf de Days Revela Cómo Tom Welling de Smallville le Ayudó a Traer a Booster Gold a la Vida
Por Megan Masters 22 de Abril, 2011 11:19 AM PDT


Being a daytime star in today’s TV climate can be tough, but Days of Our Lives‘ Eric Martsolf is making it work — and booked an awesome gig on The CW’s Smallville while he’s at it.

Martsolf, who hits Metropolis as over-the-top superhero Booster Gold this Friday at 8/7c, spoke with TVLine about what to expect from the future Justice Leaguer and why he’s not the least bit worried about the NBC soap he calls home.

TVLINE | You are in a very fun episode of Smallville. I’ve got to say that Booster Gold is pure cheesy goodness.
Oh, he’s cheesy — like a big block of Velveeta wrapped in gold.

TVLINE | So true, but there’s definitely more to Booster than meets the eye. Was he presented to you that way? Or did you add any personal touches to give him that outlandish/noble mix?
When I first got this role, I definitely did my research on Booster Gold. On the outside, yes, he seems like a big bowl of cheese and a ball of hot air, but is there even any ounce of integrity in the guy? Is he really just a guy who stole a suit and is a gigantic glory hound? And through the process of the episode, we see that he is so much more than that. Tom Welling, who directed the episode, spoke with me at depth about who he thought Booster was, and thankfully we were on the exact same page. Booster is all of those things, but he’s also a good, misguided man. He had a bum deal growing up, it’s a heart-wrenching backstory that he dealt with. I’m really glad [writer] Geoff Johns decided to throw Booster into the final episodes of Smallville, because he really does service the story.

TVLINE | It’s interesting you bring that up, because I know that some fans are wondering why one of Smallville‘s final episodes is devoted to an outside character. But having seen the episode, it’s clear that Booster really informs Clark’s journey. Were you nervous taking part in the show at such a pivotal time?
Oh my gosh, absolutely. I didn’t get it at first either. I was really bewildered as to why the Booster Gold character had anything to do with the final episodes of Smallville — I mean, you’re wrapping up this series, shouldn’t it be all about Clark Kent? But essentially Booster serves as a vehicle for Clark to accept himself as “Superman,” as someone who doesn’t have to be standing in the shadows all the time and referring to himself as The Blur. When we think of Superman, we think of someone who, like Booster Gold, is out in the open, flying around with a giant cape. Booster serves as a way for Clark to embrace the spectacle that Superman can be.


TVLINE | You sound well-versed in Smallville knowledge. Were you a fan of the series prior to this guest spot?
I showed interest in the show from the very beginning, and my wife is a giant fan. Coincidentally, when one of my dearest friends, Justin Hartley (with whom Martsolf worked on NBC’s Passions), gained the role of Green Arrow, he would constantly tell me stories about what was going on. As a kid, I ran around in Superman Underoos, for gosh sake, so I’ve always been fascinated with these characters. To be a part of this legacy in some small way is a wonderful opportunity.

TVLINE | Talk a little more about Tom Welling as a director. People have always spoken very highly of his behind-the-camera skills.
I had an equally great experience with him, if not surpassing that. From Day 1, we saw eye-to-eye as to who we wanted this Booster Gold character to be. Tom never thought of him as a bad guy or an egomaniac without a purpose. He wanted to make the audience embrace this character, and this episode really does Booster some serious justice, and gives him credibility as a true member of the Justice League, of which he becomes. I also love telling this story about Tom: During filming, when the Blue Beetle has Booster [suspended] in the air, we broke for catering and Tom was the first guy who came up to me to ask what kind of pizza I wanted. That showed a lot about him and his integrity. Whatever he directs, I’d be happy to be a part of.


TVLINE | Speaking of that Blue Beetle battle scene, how was it working with all CGI and special effects? I can’t imagine you’ve had much experience with that in daytime TV!
Daytime’s budgets have been slashed horrifically, and our CGI has been reduced to taking ketchup packets from the commissary and putting them in your mouth for blood. [Laughs] Just the other day I was in a fight scene [on Days] and we were told to conserve the blood palettes. So once I was on the Smallville set and saw this giant Blue Beetle and the animation going into it, it was an absolute treat. But they don’t overuse the CGI, either, which I think can be a problem in TV and movies today.

TVLINE | It certainly looked real!
Yeah, it felt good being choked for a few hours. [Laughs] Trust me, I still have the marks around my throat. And harnesses aren’t really made for men, but… no pain, no gain. When you have the suit on and you’re looking Blue Beetle in the face, you’re definitely not thinking about how uncomfortable you are. I had a two-week adrenaline rush filming this episode.

TVLINE | Since you brought up the current state of soap operas, can you talk a little about your thoughts on last week’s All My Children/One Life to Live cancellations? How are you feeling about Days‘ odds of living on right about now?
Daytime has been my bread-and-butter for over nine years now, so it’s a big part of my life.I have the utmost faith in the choices I made and the work that I’m doing. People say that the soap genre is going away, and in my humble opinion I don’t believe it is. I think this is the result of networks doing some penny-pinching and trying to put in cheaper programming. In the long run, they’re going to find that canceling these soaps that have been around for decades is probably not a wise move. It looks good on paper, but the fan bases of these soap operas rival those of primetime shows.

TVLINE | Worst case scenario: Is Days eventually goes off the air, you’ve got Booster Gold to fall back on?
The Adventures of Booster Gold sounds good to me! [Laughs]

Smallville: Nosotros, Por nuestra Parte, Le Damos la Bienvenida a Nuestro Metálico Señor del Futuro

He's here! Booster Gold is here! One of the most absurd (yet sexy) superheroes in the DC Universe, Booster Gold is ridiculously good fun, and he perfectly portrayed in tonight's all-new episode of Smallville by one Eric Martsolf.

We just caught up with Eric to find out what prop he used to snag the part, what tie he has to fan fave Justin Hartley, and why his character is crucial to establishing the Superman legend:

How did you get the part on this episode of Smallville?
I did it the old-fashioned way. I auditioned, and I actually threw myself into the role. I never used a prop before in an audition, because I never believed in that as an actor. But after doing a little research on Booster Gold, I realized that I have to put the glasses on and so I found a pair of golden sunglasses. Then I turned around at the beginning of the read and flipped around with the glasses on, and everyone in the room just got it. I really took this character in, and they rewarded me with the role shortly there after.

Were you a fan of Smallville prior to this role? Had you heard of Booster Gold before getting the part?
I was running around in Superman Underoos when I was 4 years old, and I think every kid in his heart one day hopes that he will be able to portray a superhero; there is nothing cooler. I was just blessed when this opportunity came around. My good buddy Justin Hartley, who portrays the Green Arrow on the show, we were brothers back on Passions on NBC, and he would always come to me and say that he was getting his action figure and that I should see his costume, and he would tell me about the archery set he was using on his set. So I would have to listen to all of this and think to myself, I have to get him back somehow. And sure enough, when Booster came around I was like, Gotcha! I have a robot that tells me what's going on in the future, so that's pretty cool.

Your character gives Tom Welling's character some wisdom, but what could Booster Gold teach Superman?
Well, as you know, Clark is having a little trouble right now embracing heroism; he prefers to be referred to as "the blur." Booster's whole platform is, 'Why would you run away from your heroic deeds? Why not stick around for a photo op and an interview and have your publicist on hand, perhaps you can get some sponsorships and then get your own reality show?' The question begs, what makes a hero? Is it substance or is it style? I think these two guys represent each in its purest form. Clark has all the substance and Booster has all the style, but Superman just isn't all about substance, he is also about style. His outfit has never been portrayed in gray, black or white. It has always been bright blue, red and yellow. So in a sense Booster, serves as a vehicle for Clark to accept the fact that this guy, Superman can be flashy and heroic at the same time. So the episode is really cool for fans in the sense that it gives birth to the spectacle of Superman.

What is the energy like on set?
Tom and I were like two kids in a candy store. I could see it in his eyes that he knows the series is coming to an end and that this is the moment when Clark becomes what he has always supposed to be. We had a multitude of discussions about Booster and the fact that he is misunderstood and misguided. Tom did not want this character to be portrayed as a bad egomaniac, he wanted him to be portrayed as a hero. Tom did a wonderful of directing the episode and, I mean, he was feeding me pizza hanging from a cable 20 feet in the air at 3 a.m. Tom was the guy who would walk up to me and would ask, "Dude, do you like anchovies or pepperoni?" He was like, "We have to get you some pizza, you have been hanging up there for like a half an hour." He is a good guy. He is a good guy through and through. And I had a wonderful time. He is a damn good director, too.

Smallville airs tonight at 8 p.m. and features lots of Superman legend goodness, including a transformation in a phone booth. (Where oh where did they even find a phone booth these days!?)

¡Encontraros con Booster Gold! Eric Martsolf de 'Smallville' habla sobre interpretar al imbécil con corazón de... Bueno, ya sabéis
Por Carina Adly MacKenzie April 22, 2011 6:29 PM ET


When we watched Friday's Tom Welling-directed "Smallville" episode, "Booster Gold," we found Metropolis's newest hero to be... well, a little bit obnoxious, at first. He swoops in out of nowhere, saves a life, and subsequently basks in the glory, demanding attention and press and girls in gold hotpants. He's kind of an egomaniac.

"Whoa," says "Days of Our Lives" actor Eric Martsolf, who plays Booster in the episode. "That's harsh!"

Okay, okay. He's an egomaniac with a heart of gold.

"He can easily be construed as a jerk," Martsolf tells us. "He may be an egomaniac and an ass, but the lesson here is that there's more than meets the eye when it comes to people. It turns out that Booster's much more than an egomaniac. He was a child that was given a really poor set of circumstances growing up and he had to pay for his dying mother by throwing his own football career down the drain. I don't think there's anybody out there that, if given the chance to make their lives better, wouldn't hop on it."

There's always a bit of pressure when taking on a comic book role, as fans have already established the character in their minds, but Martsolf made sure to do his research before arriving on the Vancouver set. "I let my fingers do the walking," he says. "It's amazing what you can dig up on a computer. I found hundreds if not thousands of Booster Gold references and old comic books and old and new renderings of the character. I came across fan clubs, for God's sake! There was a plentitude of references to draw from and it was very helpful."

He wasn't intimidated by the fact that the character already had fan clubs set up in its name -- especially because he's the first live-action actor to play Booster. "I'm not a guy to shy away from a challenge," he laughs. "Playing a superhero is literally every boy's fantasy. I grew up wearing Superman underwear. Don't get me wrong. I stopped. But when you get the call from 'Smallville' to portray Booster Gold, you don't say no. You move earth and mountains to do it."

Martsolf got to squeeze into one heck of a superhero costume. Booster's ensemble is no joke. "It was pure leather!" he says. "Leather really doesn't get comfortable until you've worn it for long periods of time. The suit really got comfortable on the last hour of shooting. Then I could really move in it."

The comfort factor didn't faze him much, because he was running on pure adrenaline for those days on set. Plus, he was in character: "Booster would never wear anything that wasn't perfectly tailored to him, anyway. He's a diva when it comes to fashion."

Plus, there was one guy on set who made sure that Martsolf wasn't too uncomfortable: Tom Welling, who wore an actor hat, a producer hat, and a director hat during this episode. "Tom was actually the guy that was making sure I got out of my harness to go get some pizza," Martsolf says.

As a director, Welling has a knack for attention to detail - whether it's making sure his guest star got his lunch or making sure that the fans would love the episode. "I was so impressed by how meticulous he was," Martsolf says. "Even if it was four in the morning, and we all wanted to go home, he wanted to get his shot. He definitely didn't work through the episode like a guy who was ready to say goodbye to his series. He's still putting his heart into it, and when somebody works that hard, you want to work that hard with him."

The environment on set didn't reflect the impending end, though it is one of the final episodes of the series. "The mood was never gloomy. The sun hardly ever came out in the two weeks I was in Vancouver, but the mood was not shadowy whatsoever," he tells us. "I felt as if we were filming a pilot, to be honest with you. There was still an excitement factor about telling the story and getting it right."

No one checked out of "Smallville" early -- all of the actors were still putting their best face forward.

"Tom and Erica [Durance] would have conversations about specific phrasing and attitudes about how they wanted to have the scene go. I was pretty amazed at the microscope that these guys brought out as far as wanting to get everything perfect for their fans."

Excuse us. We just grew verklempt with emotion and we have to go accept that this show is ending all over again.

Don't miss Booster Gold on "Smallville" tonight at 8 p.m. EST on The CW.
