Every job I've had since 'Smallville' has wanted me to have red hair, so I have to thank 'Smallville' for that. But, just the fact that it was so different was appealing to me. As an actor, you want to be able to play a lot of different things.

Red hair stigmatizes you.

My hair is capable of doing a lot of different things.

You know, I change my hair color a lot, I do all sorts of different things.

Look at your lovely red hair They say to me at last That wasn't what they used to say In my childhood days that passed. They used to call me carrot top Freckle face and ginger Although I found it hurtful I've never been a whinger I took it on the chin I set myself apart Because blonde comes from a bottle Red comes from the heart

I definitely know that I'm quirky. I know that I'm different. Red hair definitely made me different growing up.
