Tom Welling Joins Ivan Reitman's Football Movie DRAFT DAY

Smallville star Tom Welling has joined the cast of Ivan Reitman's upcoming football movie Draft Day. Welling will star alongside Kevin Costner, Jennifer Garner,and Denis Leary.

According to the report, Welling will play a character named Brian Drew, "a veteran quarterback in the crossroads of his career, in the story about a Cleveland Browns GM (Costner) who attempts to trade up for the first pick in the NFL Draft and save football in the city."

This is the second movie role that Welling has had since Smallville ended. He has a supporting role in a JFK film called Parkland, which just started shooting. I'm surprised Welling hasn't done more film. Draft Day should be a solid project for him. Reitman has made some amazing movies in his career, and this sounds like it could be a good one.
