So, who was the voice for Jor-El (Clark’s biological father) on Smallville? TVGuide said it was a cast member from one of the Superman movies (they wouldn’t reveal who), but I couldn’t quite place it. It had a distinctly British (Aussie?) camber to it…  
Could it be the guy who played General Zod in Supes 2? Anyone out there have an answer? I couldn’t find it in the credits…

I’m pretty certain it was Terence Stamp.

Yes, it is General Zod, Terence Stamp.
