What happened to this guy, his career went from Hero to Zero after Smallville. It's kinda sad to me, cause I really liked him. I never understood why he was never picked up for any Superman Movies. He would have been a great Superman in my opinion. Even if no subsequent Superman roles, why nothing else? Its very odd to me. I have many questions like why Cavil over Welling?
The Fog probably explains why he doesn't get any work.
Smallville was basically Dawson's Creek with superpowers. Michelle Williams is really the only one who did decent work after that finished (with the exception of James van der Beek's sterling effort in Rules of Attraction)
Tom Welling never impressed me as an outstanding actor. Even with the series finale, he still seemed superboyish. A shame. Physically he resembled Superman probably better than any other actor.
Now, if we could've transplanted, say, Clint Eastwood's steely, manly glare into Welling, that would've been outstanding.
