Tom Welling

Having started his modeling career in European clothing brands, he has grown into a Hollywood star. The role of superman Clark Kent in "Smallville" brought the actor fame. Since 2001, the audience for 10 years enthusiastically watched the adventures of the charismatic hero Tom Welling and became akin to him. Film critics also noticed the young artist, noting the skill and convincing performance. From 2002 to 2006, the American actor was nominated for the prestigious Saturn Award for his work in a fantastic action movie.

The future Hollywood celebrity appeared in Putnam County, US State of New York in the spring of 1977. There were no actors in the family of the future Superman from Smallville: his mother is a housewife who raised four children (Tom has two older sisters and a younger brother), and his father is an employee of General Motors. German blood flows in Thomas's veins: his parents are from Germany.

The work of the head of the family involved frequent travel. From New York, the Wellings moved to Wisconsin, then to Delaware and Michigan. In Michigan Okemos, the family stayed for a long time. Tom Welling went to a local high school where baseball and basketball became his main hobbies. Tom's height of 1.90 m was very useful for these sports.

In 1995, Welling was awarded a certificate, and the young man went to work. He worked in a construction company and did not dream of an artist's career. The impetus for Tom Welling's stellar career was a chance meeting at a party in 1998. The guy was relaxing with friends on the island of Nantucket, washed by the Atlantic Ocean.

The flash of the camera of a professional photographer predetermined the further biography of the American. With a trained eye, the master of the snapshot singled out an athletic young man with a dazzling smile from the crowd and advised him to try his hand at the modeling business, which promises a lot of relatively easy money.

So Tom Welling got into the German modeling agency Louisa Models, then the handsome man was engaged by the American company Tommy Hilfiger, after signing a contract with which Welling moved to Los Angeles. His work at Abercrombie & Fitch and Calvin Klein brought Thomas to the top of fashion Olympus, but when he achieved success he felt devastated.

Later, Tom Welling admitted that he was disappointed by the excessive attention to external polish and the "secondary" inner world in the modeling business. Life in Los Angeles in close proximity to the "dream factory" played a role: Welling thought about an acting career.

In 2001, the young actor made his debut in the drama series Amy Fair, where he played the charming coach Rob Melzer. The first appearance on the screen was successful, and the actor was invited to play a supporting role in the comedy mini-series "Hunters for Evil Spirits."

But the turning point in Tom's career turned out to be working on the Warner Bros. Smallville, a sci-fi thriller series based on the Superman comics. It is noteworthy that the actor in his youth never saw comics and never showed interest in drawn stories, dreaming of creating a "fresh" image of superman.

Having conceived the shooting, the film company announced a nationwide casting for the lead role - Clark Kent. The aspiring actor came to audition with thousands of applicants hoping to play a superhero. Welling won, whose performance proved to be the most convincing and whose appearance guaranteed success with a female audience.

The first episode of the project, entitled "Pilot", was released in mid-October 2001 on a cable TV channel and attracted a record 8.4 million viewers on TV screens. Until the spring of 2006, the channel had 5 seasons, and in the fall of the same year, the tape began to be broadcast on the popular channel The CW.

Russian viewers saw "Secrets of Smallville" in the summer of 2003 on STS. The project was filmed until 2011, and it took 1st place among the series, based on comics, and 2nd among sci-fi. Welling has appeared on the screen alongside charming partners Erica Durance, Kristin Kreuk and Allison Mack.

In the second year of filming in the project, the actor was awarded the Teen Choice Award for a breakthrough career. Tom became a star with an army of millions of fans. Hollywood directors invited him to new projects.

In 2003, Sean Levy invited Welling to reincarnate as one of the 12 offspring - Charlie Baker - in the comedy melodrama Cheaper by the Dozen, where the main characters were played by comedian Steve Martin and actress Bonnie Hunt.

A kind family comedy fell in love with millions of TV viewers, and in 2005 the producers shot an equally successful sequel. In the same year, viewers saw the premiere of the horror film Fog, directed by Rupert Wainwright. Welling got the main role - Nick. On the set, the actor met Maggie Grace, Selma Blair and Rade Sherbedgia.

Thriller "Fog" is a remake of the Hollywood horror film of the same name by John Carpenter, starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Janet Lee. But in the project, where Tom Welling played, the director focused on the reason for the appearance of the terrible fog that destroyed the city. In 2006, the Hollywood actor made his directorial debut with several episodes of Smallville.

After completing his work in a sci-fi epic, the actor starred in the biopic Parkland by Peter Landesman, which tells about the chaotic events after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Welling was recognized as Roy Kellerman. 2010 saw the premiere of the comedy-drama youth series Hell Cats, in which Welling first served as an executive producer.

In 2014, Tom Welling delighted fans by appearing in the dramatic sports tape Draft Day, starring Kevin Costner and Jennifer Garner in key roles. The film premiered in Los Angeles in the spring.

In 2016, after a two-year lull, viewers saw a star in Ross Katz's melodrama The Choice, where Tom played a vivid but secondary role. The film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Nicholas Sparks. The main characters were played by Teresa Palmer, Benjamin Walker and Alexandra Daddario.

The artist met his first wife Jamie White in Miami at the dawn of his modeling career, in 1998. The couple met for 4 years, and in July 2002 they got married. The marriage did not survive the test of fame: Tom and Jamie parted in December 2012.

In 2013, the spouse initiated a divorce, citing "insurmountable differences." The divorce proceedings ended at the end of 2015. The couple did not have children.

Tom Welling met his new lover in 2014. Jessica Rose Lee is the founder of the Saddle Club. Superman fans can admire joint photos of the couple on the star's Instagram.

Tom Welling is friends with colleagues Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki, who played the main characters in the mystical film Supernatural. Ackles viewers could see in the 4th season of "Smallville".

The second starring role after "Smallville" appeared in the filmography of the star 6 years later, in 2017. Tom Welling was offered the role of Cain in the third season of the comic-based police comedy-drama Lucifer. In the frame, he "lit up" with Tom Ellis, Lauren German and Kevin Alejandro.

Welling's hero appeared in the first episodes of season 3 as police lieutenant Marcus Pierce, who rivals Lucifer in charm and beauty. Marcus saves Chloe (Lauren German) from a bullet, and romantic feelings arise between the characters, which infuriates Lucifer (Tom Ellis). In Episode 10, Marcus transforms into Cain.

Tom Welling's season premiered in July 2017. In February, the creators of the project delighted fans with the news of the extension of the 3rd season in 2018.
