Smallville Cast: Where Are They Now?

17. Tom Welling

The Man of Steel himself, Tom Welling portrayed Clark Kent/The Blur/The Red-Blue Blur/Superman (yes, he had a lot of names alright!) and did such a good job, he's considered by many to be the greatest Superman of all time. However, after his 10-year run on Smallville ended, he understandably took some well-earned time off.

Over the past decade, he resurfaced in films such as Parkland, Draft Day and The Choice, but it's only really in the last couple of years that he's been getting back into the TV business with series regular roles in both The Professionals (alongside Brendan Fraser) and Lucifer - in which he played Lt. Marcus Pierce/Cain in what was a return to DC Comics for him.

To top it all off, he brought the decade to an end with one final return to Smallville, reprising his role as Clark in the Arrowverse's Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover.

Here's hoping we see even more of him in the decade ahead.
