  • Future roles for Tom Welling

    I was watching an old movie earlier and thought to myself that if remade Tom Welling would be perfect for. That movie is Clash of the Titans. NOt that I want a great old movie to be remade into crap like 75 % of remakes, but i believe that if made right Tom could make a great Perseus. He has theMore look and build to pull it off.PLus anyone who watches Smallville knows that he is a great actor and has many great movies in his future. What other movies or types of movies does everyone else see him in?

  • Welling for Superman in JLA movie?

    What do you think about it? I think it would be a great idea for the movie; yet a possibly bad move - career-wise - for Welling.

  • Prankster?

    I heard he decided to find some long lost family members and prank his aunt. To do this they used a bunch of FX animation things and took some shots of his grandma's house. Then did a few other weird things like pay them a visit with his son Anthony whose around 20yrs old I think(looks like himMore but shorter and slightly different build but his Christine was kind of short. Also relative of rocker Chad Turton?). His prank was a bit bizarre but he's a chip off the old block(not necessarily a good thing). He had went and found his birth mother or something. Something about he was given up for adoption after she ran away from home and had him when she was about 15. He's got some resemblance to his uncle William when he was younger (my gosh the jaw and some of the mannerisms are the same). His uncle Will also had a kid in his teens but that one I think was born in Germany from a girl from his grad class. What do I know? I used to live down the street from a kid that looked just like him and who used to hang out with my son for awhile. But I haven't seen that kid in about a year so never did flat out ask him. Or maybe he's just some long lost cousin of these people. If so his great grandma was the identical twin of the older man in these photos. I can't remember what I heard her name was but his moms name was Mary Emily. His bio grammy (Mar) and gramps (Walt)? http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z105/indilwen_minuialwen/Huh%20what/mary_walt.jpg http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z105/indilwen_minuialwen/Huh%20what/marywalt.jpg Some resemblance from this WWII pic http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z105/indilwen_minuialwen/Huh%20what/walt.jpg Rosemary (bio Mom? Drafting class party he'd of been a few years old) http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z105/indilwen_minuialwen/Huh%20what/rosemary.jpg

    A phenomenal actor.

    hide show

    I looked at this guy's list of shows and movies he's appeared in and it's surprisingly small, because Tom Welling was stellar in his performance as Clark Kent/Superman in the ten-year series Smallville. That, and the two Cheaper by the Dozenmovies are the only things I've seen him in, unfortunately, though. But like I said, according to the small number of things I've seen him in, he's a fantastic actor and I look forward to seeing him in future roles.

    Tom Welling is a terrific actor. hide show

    Tom Welling can only be described in one (1) word unnnbelievable. With the superpowers he had on smallville it would have to be hard to act with superpowers but Tom managed it perfectly. Especially with superspeed and superstrength. But the main thing on Smallville that Tom was great at was the way he had the character he was playing (Clark Kent) be in love with Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) cause the way he expressed his face around lana when he liked her and she was with someone else. Also Tom was great at pretending to feel sick and weak (on smallville) when he was around Meteor rocks (kryptonite). I feel Tom Welling is the best Actor on Tv at the moment

    He is absolutely so hot! I Would Explode To Meet Him. Anyways I LOVE him a lot in Smallville. (I have seen him in Cheaper By the Doozen 1&2..He white shirt gets wet. YES!) hide show

    He is absolutely so hot! I Would Explode To Meet Him. Anyways I LOVE him a lot in Smallville. (I have seen him in Cheaper By the Doozen 1&2..He white shirt gets wet. YES!) However in Smallville it was sad how they ended it for Season 8.This one was just depressing. Plus the whole Jimmy thing…(Though his fighting back part was pretty cool) Regardless I think he’s an amazing person. I hope we get to see more of him. OH MAN! They should have a trailer for his movie in the background in season 9. It would be AMAZING!

    Tom Welling is the star of Smallville. hide show

    Tom Welling where can i start from is it the fact that he is so hot or that he is just so great as the man of steel.

    One of the reasons i also love hm is because of his role in Cheaper by the dozen i just loved his character in that movie

    I also love him in Smallville he is just really the greatest man of steel. I love his sweet attitude towards life and everything he holds dear.

    I hate him with Lana because i prefer Lois a lot more because i think she brings out a good side of him.

    All in all he really is a great guy and a great actor.
