Miranda Cosgrove's Voice (Season 1)
So Miranda Cosgrove wasn't credited and didn't make an appearance on screen, but she does lend her voice to young Lana (Kristin Kreuk) in the pilot, which is a pretty fun fact if you ask us.

Lizzy Caplan (Season 1)
The Mean Girls and Masters of Sex star played Tina Greer, a meteor rock-infected teen who could morph into other people. She used this power to rob a bank early in the first season.

Amy Adams (Season 1)
Early in the first season, Adams played a teen who was way ahead on the health shake trend, except her shakes included Kryptonite, and caused her to have a craving for sucking the fat out of other humans, and also occasionally wildlife. Amy Adams eating a deer is an image we still haven't been able to shake, but now she plays Lois Lane in the new movies, so that's fun!

Joe Morton (Season 1)
Scandal's Papa Pope was a scientist hell-bent on resurrecting evil flowers that made people drunk and then sent them into a coma, which is only slightly less insane than some of the things he's done on Scandal.

Adam Brody (Season 1)
Before he was Seth Cohen, and even before he was Gilmore Girls' Dave Rygalski, Adam Brody was Justin, an artist whose hand was destroyed in a hit and run. He then developed powers of telekinesis to get revenge on those who had wronged him, before being knocked out by Chloe (Allison Mack).

Evangeline Lilly (Seasons 1-3)
Lilly can be found in the background of several episodes, simply walking down hallways or feeding her boyfriend limes with her mouth. The Lost star's characters never got names or credits, but she was clearly very important to the story.

Shawn Ashmore (Seasons 1 and 3)
Before his twin brother Aaron went on to play the major role of Jimmy Olsen, Shawn Ashmore played Eric, a kid who could steal other people's powers. He ended up institutionalized with Johnathan Taylor Thomas, and is still there to this day, as far as we know.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas (Season 2)
Teen heartthrob JTT had the ability to clone himself. If only he hadn't used this power for evil, we would have beeen fine with it!

Blair Brown (Season 2)
Orange is the New Black and Fringe star Brown was just a regular non-alien lady who thought she was Clark's (Tom Welling) biological mother in season two. She was mistaken, of course. Her real son was actually...

Maggie Lawson (Season 2)
Psych's Maggie Lawson played Chrissy, an elderly cheerleader who stayed young by sucking the life out of her classmates. By the end of the episode, she aged rapidly and turned to dust when Clark and co. prevented her from sucking enough lives.

Paul Wesley (Season 2)
Stefan Salvatore! Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley played Lex Luthor's secret sociopathic brother Lucas in one episode. Lex's dad placed him under his care, and then he was never seen or heard from again.

Ian Somerhalder (Season 3)
Damon Salvatore also had a fairly big arc on the show, playing Adam Knight for six episodes in season three. He wooed Lana while she went through physical therapy, but then he turned out to be an insane formerly dead teen who Lionel resurrected in order to take down Clark. Oops!

Jesse Metcalfe (Season 3)
In one of his first roles ever, Metcalfe played Van McNulty, a guy with a gun who had it out for Clark, and Lana, and Lex, and pretty much anyone else who got in his way.

Adrianne Palicki (Season 3)
Friday Night Lights and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Adrianne Palicki played Lindsey Harrison, a girl used by Jor-El to lure Clark to him by pretending to be Kara of Krypton.

Jensen Ackles (Season 4)
Lana showed up at the beginning of season four with Jason Teague, a new boyfriend she met in Paris. He was played by none other than Dean Winchester himself, Jensen Ackles. Of course, he turned out to be evil, and then was killed by a meteor after holding Clark's parents hostage, because Lana always did have the worst luck with boyfriends.

Jane Seymour (Season 4)
Seymour popped up as Jason's equally evil mom in season four, who had some beef with the 18th century witch possessing her descendant, Lana Lang.

Cobie Smulders (Season 4)
Robin, is that you? The How I Met Your Mother star duped Lex by sleeping with him and then killing another girl and framing him for the murder back in season four.

Eric Christian Olsen (Season 1)
NCIS: LA star Eric Christian Olsen played the young version of an old man who fell into a pile of meteor rocks, suddenly became young again, and set off on a mission to kill the descendants of the jury who convicted him of murder 60 years ago, including Clark's dad. Needless to say, he did not succeed.

Nashville's Will Lexington once was a college football player who used his powers of paralysis for—surprise, surprise—evil.

Jonathan Bennett (Season 4)
Post Mean Girls, Aaron Samuels changed his name to Kevin and developed the ability to erase people's memories. He used that ability to steal the memories of half the residents of Smallville. As far as we know, he's still in jail, which is probably for the best.

Bow Wow (Season 6)
The retired rapper played a basketball-playing teen whose body was inhabited by an escaped phantom named Baern who could blast people with beams of energy and become stronger by absorbing radiation—a typical superhero bad guy, in other words. He was sent back to the Phantom Zone after he tried to kill Clark's mom, and was never heard from again.
