We previously announced that Julian Sands was going to be making a guest appearance on Smallville and now TheCW has revealed that he will be playing Jor-El. I'm not too knowledgeable about Superman mythology, but my sources (ie. Wikipedia and those few movies I've watched) tells me that he's Clark (aka Kal-El) Kent's biological father. We have promo photos and a synopsis to share with you.
Jor-El (guest star Julian Sands) mysteriously arrives at the Kent farm searching for his son, Kal-El, but meets Chloe (Allison Mack) instead. Convinced the Blur is Jor-El, Zod (Callum Blue) enlists Tess’ (Cassidy Freeman) help in finding him to force him to reveal the secret to his powers.
Clark (Tom Welling) realizes Jor-El is alive and on Earth and races to find him before Zod does. Erica Durance and Justin Hartley also star.

It's a shame they couldn't get Terrence Stamp to play the part, since he's been voicing Jor-El since Season 2.
I like Terrence Stamp but Julian Sands is awesome to play Jor-El. Sands is a terrific actor and has a special quality that will be perfect in this role. I can hardly wait for this episode!
