Born: April 26, 1977

Muscular young actor Tom Welling is a former construction worker and soccer player who admits his indifference to comic books. After a few modeling jobs, he guest starred opposite Amy_Brenneman on a few episodes of the CBS drama Judging_Amy. In 2001 he was cast as the teenaged Clark Kent on the WB series Smallville. As the awkward young superhero with many opportunities to bear his chiseled chest, Welling won a Teen Choice award and was consequently branded a breakthrough star. He made his film debut in the 2003 remake Cheaper by the Dozen, along with fellow teen star Hilary_Duff. He would also appear in the film's sequel in 2005, as well as a remake of John Carpenter's The Fog that same year, but mostly kept busy with his trademark role on Smallville, until the series ended its decade run in 2011.
