Veronica Mars’ Ex-Boy Toy Moves to Smallville

For those of you hoping to see Veronica Mars‘ ex, Troy Vandergraff walking the halls along side Veronica and Wallace at Hearst College this year, sorry, but it ain’t happening.

TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello has reported that Aaron Ashmore, who played Troy during season one of VM, and reprised his role briefly last season, has been cast as Jimmy Olsen on Smallville.

But ya know, now that Veronica Mars and Smallville are both on The CW, maybe there will be a little crossover. I kind of liked the idea of seeing Troy around campus next year.

Oh and diehard Smallville fans, don’t be surprised if Aaron looks a wee bit familiar. His twin brother, Shawn, previously appeared on Smallville as Eric Summers.
