Tom Welling Talks SMALLVILLE and Possibly Appearing as Superman on SUPERGIRL
It's seldom acknowledged, but safe to say Tom Welling paved the way for the current state of superhero television. Smallville remains to this day a hit amongst its fans and, five years after its finale, has paved the way for numerous shows like The Flash, Arrow, and Supergirl. Welling tells Buzzfeed that the impact is lasting, but not without sacrifice...
“I spent 10 years where my life was 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. on set...from an emotional standpoint, I was basically cut off from everyone...(I) just put my head in a hole and I basically blocked everybody and everything out.”
The whole interview is really awesome and explains why Welling kind of disappeared until 2014 when he took a few small roles in films. Now Welling is back and shopping a series to networks that he created, produced, and will star in called Section 13. Here's a brief synopsis...
A CIA black ops officer-turned-private contractor who, after a personal tragedy, joins a covert organization devoted to carrying out the most difficult and dangerous high-stakes assignments
Well, Section 13 has been picked up by CBS, and fans are wondering if with the deal its possible that Welling might don the mantle of Clark Kent once again. Welling's answer was a complicated non answer, so read into it what you will...
