Happy Birthday, Tom Welling!
Best birthday wishes to Tom Welling, who turns 31 tomorrow, April 26. We hope he has a great time celebrating with his wife and friends.
Tom is, of course, Clark Kent on Smallville, and we can’t think of another actor who could embody the future Man of Steel in quite the same way. Tom’s got it all: The chiseled looks, the killer body, the boy-next-door charm, and the determination that oozes out of every pore. We’ve loved watching him portray the man who will be Superman – the greatest hero the world will ever know.
Tom has taken Clark through a lot over the past seven seasons: He’s been a naïve country boy who moons over the girl next door and can’t tell anyone about his secret life; a high school student who wants to show off what he can do; a kid wanting to rebel against his family; a young man coming to terms with – and fighting against - his destiny; a guy who tries to balance doing the right thing with protecting the people he loves; and even a quasi-father-figure to Kara, the rebellious girl from Krypton. He’s lost his father, seen his best friend go into exile to protect his secret, found and lost and found and lost and found and lost some more the girl of his dreams, and started meeting the people we know will play a big role in the rest of his life as Superman. Through it all, Tom has been a thrill to watch.
What’s more, Tom has stepped behind the camera – he’ll be directing next week’s episode, “Apocalypse,” where we get to see what the world would be like if Kal El had never made it to earth.
We’re thrilled we’re going to see Tom-as-Clark for at least one more season. Happy birthday, Tom!

I hope he had a great birthday!!
Tom has matured wonderfully as an actor over the years, and I think he deserves the lions share of the credit for SV heading into its 8th season.
You rock Tom!
