EXCLUSIVE: After a 10-season run as the super-hero-in-training Clark Kent in the CW series Smallville, Tom Welling is taking a break from TV and transitioning to features. He’s just landed a co-starring role in Parkland, the Exclusive Media feature that is being directed by Peter Landesman. He joins Paul Giamatti, Zac Efron, and Billy Bob Thornton in the ensemble drama about the hours following the assassination of JFK in Parkland Hospital. Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman are producing with Bill Paxton. Open Road is in talks to distribute domestically in the fall, around the 50th anniversary of JFK’s assassination. Welling is repped by WME.


HE’S GREAT!
mmmmwwaahhhhhhhh
God, I love him.
He’s a great actor…
DID WE FORGET THE PHENOMENAL TWO TIME ACADEMY NOMINEE, JACKI WEAVER STARRING?
He so gorgeous…good actor,director
Yeah¡¡¡¡ He is back finally¡¡¡
Great to hear he’s back.
BTW, Smallville was on for 10 years, not 9.
thats what it says…
Um, no. He was in every episode (217) and the show lasted for 10 years.
PARKLAND… this should be another fairy tale diversion off the JFK assassination trail, as they’re never, ever going to reveal the truth!
Tom Welling’s BACK!!!!! I will definitely be watching this, let’s hope he has a meaty role.
Finally!!
so excited for this movie!
i miss him. i would love to see him in another series or etc. i did’nt miss any episodes of smallville i have all thr smallville sets tape
My God, he hasn’t worked in almost 2 years, since the end of Smallville. I was starting to think he’d given up the show biz world. Very pleased he hasn’t. Too gorgeous and talented to just fade away.
he gave up on his fans he is superman he single handed threw his fans away for a tv show thats stupids smallville made tom welling gfamous take away what do you have nothing he was inspiration and he has failed us. He made us even believe in superheroes now he throws it away heroers are real military and firefighters and police hospitals people are true heroes thanks for giving up on your fans tom welling.
Gibberish. Time for your medication.lol
you are crazy! he is amazing!
exactly how did he turn his back on his fans? he played Clark Kent for 10 years! is he just never supposed to walk away? you are insane.
you’re an idiot! he didn’t give up. they had to stop because there was nowhere else for it to go. SMALLVILLE was his hometown where he grew up, and when the show started. EVERYONE knew how it would end, it was the journey that was so great. Open your eyes, in Season 11, they added everything that they could not during the show series, due to Batman (WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE SMALLVILLE SHOW STAR, ORIGINALLY WAS SUPPOSEDLY A “GOTHAM” SHOW, BUT COULDN’T GET BATMANS RIGHTS) Anyway, Tom Welling did nothing wrong, he stood by a show for 10 years, more than that if you consider the year or two before when it was under development.
I’m happy he is finally acting again, and alongside some popular faces. I’m definitely going to see this movie.
This news has made me very happy
So glad Tom’s back! I can’t wait until this movie comes out. It looks to be a great movie.
This is beautiful I am so happy for Tom Welling I can’t wait to see it he is the most wonderful and amazing actor out there love his work that he does and love him as a person he is a wonderful man his wife Jamie is amazing also thy are both beautiful people love them and respect them dearly .
We all miss him he’s a good actor and we miss smallville like no other but at least we have utube for some good memories.
He should of been the actor in the new Superman movie man of steel!!
ur right bro , most of superman’s fans said the same
he would have however in his interpreted words “I do not wish to follow the footsteps of George and Christopher Reeves” he never wanted to dawn the cape and be typecast as superman. technically he was superboy throughout the series so i guess he figures it won’t count towards him having an untimely death
So glad to see Tom doing something. He’s a wonderful actor and deserves to be recognised more and given bigger roles. He should have been in the Superman movie. I know Chris Reeves thought so as well per an interview he gave before his death.
just watched the whole box set of smallville and I was truly addicted,Tom played the part of Clark Kent Brilliently.I wish they would do another series again with all the same actors
Wow, Tom’s ten fans seemed to have jumped on this thread. But where are the Zac fans?
Seriously though, this looks like an interesting project even though we’ve beat the JFK stuff into the ground.
Toooooommmm i hoope u cann hear mee ,,,,, ur the bessstt ever , we waiting u
NICEEEEEEEEEEE Tom Welling is my favorite actor !!!!!
HE IS MY FAVORTIE ACTOR !!!!
Finally!! The news I’ve been waiting for! I can’t wait to see him again!
