In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam Montiel welcomes Michael Cudlitz, the talented actor now portraying Lex Luthor in Superman & Lois. Known for his versatility, Cudlitz has made a lasting impact with powerful roles such as Abraham Ford on The Walking Dead, Officer John Cooper on Southland, and Sgt. Bull Randleman in Band of Brothers. In addition to his acting career, Michael has stepped behind the camera, directing multiple episodes of The Walking Dead and Superman & Lois, giving him a deeper perspective on storytelling.

We dive into his approach to embodying Lex Luthor, how he balances subtle menace with explosive power, and the creative freedom directing brings. Michael also shares stories from his extensive work in voice acting, including his roles in the Call of Duty video game franchise, where he brought characters to life through voice alone. From playing heroes to mastering the role of a villain, this conversation is full of thoughtful insights into his craft, career, and passions.
