Smallville

October 4, 2006: Fan Visits “Smallville” Set and Interviews Stars

"Smallville" fan Julia Waterhous was invited to visit the set of the TV series and got to interview Tom Welling and Justin Hartley while on set.

    Welling is perfectly charming, though his answers are more guarded than Hartley's. I ask him if it's ever difficult to play someone who is so purely good all the time.

    "So purely good?" he asks, surprised. "I don't know if Clark is purely good. He battles with what's right and wrong. He causes a lot of collateral damage, and he does go through a lot of inner turmoil."

    Then Voth reminds me that I have time for one more question. With Welling's encouragement, I ask it: "Will we ever see Clark Kent don the red cape and become Superman?"

    "No," he says emphatically. "This show will always be about Clark Kent. The transition to Superman is so catastrophic that it's a whole new show once he starts flying around."

    And with that, Tom Welling and Clark Kent disappear, back to Smallville. All is right in the world, for now.
