New Lex Luthor based on Ken Lay?

Ken Lay has already inspired a lot of anger in Houston, but now he is inspiring an A-list Hollywood actor in an upcoming summer blockbuster. Kevin Spacey, who will play super villain Lex Luthor in "Superman Returns," tells the NY Post's Page Six that the former Enron chairman was the basis for the character:

"There's a lot of Ken Lay in him this time. He is more smartly dressed than I think we have seen him looking before. I like to call the look, 'General Rommel goes to dinner.' "

Great. Maybe the studio can donate proceeds to former Enron 401K holders. CONTACT: Leave me a Houston or Texas media news tip | COMMENT: Click to leave your thoughts on this post here
