August 17, 2010: Edmonton Actor, Model & Fanboy Gets "Smallville" Role

Ron Wear Ron Wear, Mr. World Canada, has secured a supporting role on two upcoming episodes of "Smallville", according to an article in the Edmonton Sun. Born and raised in Edmonton, Wear is a fashion model. Though he's mum on details, he appears in two Season 10 episodes and has scenes with Supergirl, played by Laura Vandervoort.

Wear, 31, professes to be a "fanboy" and, while we have all heard actors make that claim before, Wear wears a Green Lantern suit in a photo on his Facebook page. The article in the Edmonton Sun discusses his excitement over the "Smallville" experience:

    While on set last month, Wear met Tom Welling -- better known as Superman (Clark Kent). He said Welling is private and mostly keeps to himself, but is a nice guy.

    "It was cool to meet him. I am a fanboy of Superman," said Wear, who represents Canada in the male version of Miss World.

    Wear said he must have made an impression because he was asked to return to the Burnaby set next Monday for the filming of another episode.

    He can't share much about his role in season 10 -- the final season -- because he is sworn to secrecy, Wear said.

    But he did say he is in scenes with one of the main characters, Supergirl played by Laura Vandervoort.

    "It was kind of nerve-wracking," said Wear. "But it's so much fun to interact with other people and see the finished product after wards."
