Trivia
- Rosenbaum did not shave his head before auditioning for the part of Lex Luthor.
- Ironically, in an episode of Justice League Unlimited, the Flash trades bodies with Lex Luthor for a brief period of time. Since the characters retained the voices of their bodies, Rosenbaum therefore provided the voice of Lex Luthor in this episode.
- He is left handed.
- In 2001, Michael Rosenbaum received a Saturn Award for his portrayal of Lex Luthor.
