    Tom Welling has been kinda quiet in Hollywood since his gig as Clark Kent on the CW's Smallville ended in 2011. Although he was the original superhero on a network that's since become known for its comic book shows, Welling has yet to capitalize on the show's success to push into the next stage of his acting career. Here's why Hollywood won't cast Tom Welling anymore...

      no totally depends on the actor, Daniel Day Lewis is super picky regarding his roles, but he is currently the best actor there is, no one tops in terms of quality and most directors would kill to have him in their ensemble. Sure there are many that only get little offers and just say they are picky to avoid public shaming, but there are alos some that are acutally sucessfull and very picky, daniel day lewis, viggo mortensen, bruno ganz ( german actor, hitler in der utnergang), christian bale and alot more are very very picky

      We have VASTLY different definitions of "old as fuck" it would seem, he is 39, he is still technically a middle aged man, hardly what you would call old and definitely would not hyperbole with adding "as fuck" at the end of it.

  • @FuzzyDlop
    @FuzzyDlop Před 7 lety +137

    This is a poor and pointless video. He said in the past that he was way overworked from shooting Smallville for 17 hours a day for ten consecutive years. He said he doesn't want to do something because he "has to" but only if he wants to. Michael Rosenbaum also said that while he usually used to be on set for 4/5 days on average on a 10 day shooting schedule, Tom instead was the only one who was always on set 9 days out of 10.
    So he acted for 10 consecutive years, 9 and a half months a year, he acted basically at every hour of the day. And he doesn't have to do anything for money, clearly. It's not that "Hollywood won't cast him anymore", he has actually rejected roles.

    Tom Welling was fantastically casted in Smallville. He has the body of a Greek god needed for the role of young Clark Kent. I read on his face the good sense from the countryside, barely tainted by a certain naivety. Yet, far from looking like a fop without substance, his screen presence is imbued by the solemn air characteristic to super heroes. Assuredly, it's going to be difficult for him to find a role as finely tailored as this one.

      He never wanted to play Superman, that's why he was very adamant with his contract signing to Smallville that Superman was only vaguely mentioned.. that's why, we also barely see him as Superman for the finale episode.. He's one of those who didn't want to get type cast, that's why he refused the role for Superman Returns and why he won't be Superman in Supergirl.

    Tom Welling was great on Smallville, and was especially exciting when his character turned dark, although he is equally good at comedy. The three movies mentioned post-Smallville featured Tom in minor roles, and their success or failure was not dependent on him. Tom's potential is unlimited, with a capacity for romance, comedy, action, and drama, plus he has a massive fan base, and anything he wants to take on will be supported by us.

I know it'll never happen.. but since Superhero shows are pretty much all the rave now days.. they should cast him as SUPERMAN and give him his own TV show.

    Tom Welling was amazing TV actor on Smallville. Still annoys me that he didn't get casted as Superman in Supergirl. He's so underrated. Hope he gets some good roles in the future besides Smallville he really hasn't done anything else but most TV good actors disappear in top shows. Love to see him in Supernatural. He's good friends with Jared and Jensen.

Jenifer Lawrence did Hunger Games and it MAde her career, its a book based movie, kind of like comic books. George Clooney has stated BATMAN AND ROBIN helped his career even though that movie sucked because its an INTERNATIONALLY viewed blockbuster, and got him way more exposure than ER.

      @elraxomcgoutfoot9625 Před 7 lety +2

      I agree, Michael Rosenbaum would make a good Flash, but I'm not sure about him as Barry Allen. As you probably know he voiced the Wally West version of the Flash who has a different personality to Barry, he is more light-hearted imo. Although it seems that Barry in the upcoming JLA movie has Wally's personality more than Barry's, so yeah Michael Rosenbaum probably would be a good choice, but I think they wanted someone younger, and so they went with Ezra Miller. But as for fans getting confused if they cast Tom as Clark in Supergirl . . . I'm sorry to say but I don't really care about the part-time fans who don't understand or don't follow the shows/ comics ect. I would like to see the movie/tv producers make movies/tv shows for the hardcore fans that already have knowledge and an appreciation of the characters, not just those who are jumping on the bandwagon.

    I can't imagine anyone else as superman.. or Clark Kent... so it takes an incredible talented actor to do this to the audience... make us believe no one else can be in that role...

      When you're watching 4x10 "Scare" about half an hour into the episode, be prepared for an absolutely mind blowing scene - featuring only Lex Luther, with exceptionally artistic imagery and the most energetic, impelling soundtrack you will have heard ever since the beginning.

    I watched Smallville with my son clear up to the time it went off air. Many people do not know how really popular the show and Tom Welling were at the time. Supernatural was and is my other favorite show. Both shows were shot in Vancouver B.C and many of the actors in the various seasons of both shows are now starring in major movies and T.V. series. Justin Hartley was the Green Arrow in Smallville and Eric Johnson was in the first few seasons. Jensen Ackles was in one season of Smallville before starring in his own show (Supernatural). My point is that if those actors have made it then I do think we will
    see more of Tom Welling.

      He could play Shazam in a Tv series.Its the only character i know of who is similar to Superman.

    He ages beautifully and hope he will find a role soon. When you are in a show so long it's hard to rebound, Rosenbaum has his impastor now and doing well, i wish the same for the lovely Tom/

      Then check out Lucifer. He's a side character in the 3rd season (currently airing now).
      Bonus: I love that show. I recommend you see it from the first episode.

      ok ok I'll buy what your selling. Imagine the nostalgia if he was superman but Bruce Wayne as he is older, I can see that working :)

    • @cobra8888
      @cobra8888 Před 7 lety +4

      Funny enough, before Ben Affleck was announced as Batman, I wanted Welling to be Batman/Bruce Wayne. Just a thought.

  • @bellavalentine6295
    @bellavalentine6295 Před 4 lety +2

    I agree, Tom needs to embrace playing a super hero. He’s great at it and it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Look at Thor...it’s worked for Chris Hemsworth. I love Tom Welling and would love to see him more.

  • @Theri4444
    @Theri4444 Před 6 lety +2

    +Looper wrong on that all accounts, Tom Welling is now staring in the show Lucifer. Course don't know if its temporary or permenant , or on again off again

  • @2ndbaddestfemale
    @2ndbaddestfemale Před 7 lety +29

    Everyone keeps saying he should come back as Superman for blah blah blah but you guys are missing the point. He doesn't want to come back as the same role he was trying to escape. If you have a passion for acting, you want to do different roles.

    • @BrokensoulRider
      @BrokensoulRider Před 7 lety +13

      He was, by far, the best Superman face to date. The newer ones don't just.. fit him right. He actually looks like what _Superman_ should look personally.

    He's been my favorite actor for so long because I grew up with Smallville. He's on Lucifer now and he's awesome as his character.
