===Early career===
Originally a construction worker, Welling was discovered in 1998 at a party in [[Nantucket]] by a catalog camera scout who suggested he try modeling.<ref name="TV Guide" /> Welling modelled for [[Louisa Models|Louisa Modeling Agency]] until 2000,<ref name="teenmag.com"/> when he relocated to Los Angeles.

[[File:Tom Welling 1.jpg|thumb|right|Welling in 2009]]
Welling was cast in the [[The CW|WB]] superhero drama ''[[Smallville]]'' after a nationwide search for an actor to play [[Clark Kent]]. In an interview with a teen magazine, Welling spoke about the day he auditioned for the role: "I was on my way back from the [[Warner Bros.]] studio, and I stopped in a gas station to call my manager and tell him how it went. I called and got him on the phone and he said, 'Can you hold on a second?' Next thing I know, there are literally seven people on the other line and almost in unison they say, 'Tom, you got it!'"<ref name="teenmag.com"/> The [[Pilot (Smallville)|pilot]] aired in October 2001 and became the highest-rated debut for [[the WB Television Network|The WB]], with 8.4 million viewers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271|title=The WB Orders More 'Smallville'|date=2001-10-24|publisher=tv.zap2it.com|accessdate=2006-10-19|df=}}{{dead link|date=September 2018|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> Welling told ''[[TV Guide]]'' that he turned down the lead role twice, but after reading the script, decided to take the job. Like [[Christopher Reeve]], he was not a ''[[Superman]]'' fan prior to being cast as Clark Kent. In fact, he said, he continues to not read ''Superman'' comics: "I made a conscious decision to stay away from that material. We're doing something different at a time before all that, I don't want that to affect what I'm doing, even subconsciously."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.about.com/cs/cheaperbythedozen/a/cbtdtw121003_2.htm |title=Tom Welling Interview – Cheaper by the Dozen Movie and Smallville |publisher=Movies.about.com |date=2009-10-30 |accessdate=2010-03-04}}</ref> He did get the chance to meet two previous ''Superman'' actors: [[Christopher Reeve]], who appeared in season 2: episode 17 titled "[[Smallville (season 2)#Rosetta|Rosetta]]", and [[Dean Cain]], who appeared in season 7: episode 4 titled "Cure".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kryptonsite.com/twyearbook1.htm |title=Tom Welling Interview from SV Yearbook |publisher=KryptonSite |accessdate=2010-03-04}}</ref>

I wouldn’t mind having my head shaved—as an actor, [it is the ultimate,] getting to play the complete opposite of your character."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.supermantv.net/smallville/Tom_Wellingmagazine.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041021232832/http://www.supermantv.net/smallville/Tom_Wellingmagazine.htm |dead-url=yes |archive-date=2004-10-21 |title=Tom Welling Interview |publisher=Supermantv.net |accessdate=2010-04-16 }}</ref>

That was the number one draw for me. Then, after reading the script, I really liked this character, Charlie. I liked what he went through, what he had to go through, and I felt I understood where he was coming from. And I just wanted to be a part of it."<ref name="filmmonthly.com"/> Welling had always been a fan of Martin's and said that he "absolutely loved" working with him.<ref name="filmmonthly.com"/>
In 2005, Welling co-starred in the horror film ''[[The Fog (2005 film)|The Fog]]'', a remake of [[John Carpenter]]'s [[The Fog|1980 film of the same name]], as Nick Castle (a character originally played by [[Tom Atkins (actor)|Tom Atkins]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cinemaspy.com/spotlight/exclusive-interview-tom-welling-4761/|title=cinemaspy.com|website=www.cinemaspy.com|access-date=2012-09-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131112094503/http://www.cinemaspy.com/spotlight/exclusive-interview-tom-welling-4761/|archive-date=2013-11-12|dead-url=yes|df=}}</ref> At the same time ''The Fog'' was in production, Welling was still working on the last few episodes of the fourth season of ''Smallville''.

In 2013, Welling was among the all-star cast of [[Peter Landesman]]'s historical drama ''[[Parkland (film)|Parkland]]'', based on the book ''[[Reclaiming History]]: The Assassination of President John F.

==Career==
===Early career===
Originally a construction worker, Welling was discovered in 1998 at a party in [[Nantucket]] by a catalog camera scout who suggested he try modeling.<ref name="TV Guide" /> Welling modelled for [[Louisa Models|Louisa Modeling Agency]] until 2000,<ref name="teenmag.com"/> when he relocated to Los Angeles. There he modelled for [[Tommy Hilfiger]], [[Abercrombie & Fitch]], and [[Calvin Klein]] while pursuing an acting career.<ref name="TV Guide" /> In 2000, Welling appeared in Angela Via's music video "Picture Perfect" where he played Vía's love interest. Welling has said that he did not like modelling and that he was not good at it because it was all on the outside or from an external point of view. He pursued acting because he wanted to express a range of emotions,<ref name="filmmonthly.com"/> but Welling still models occasionally and appeared in the May 2008 issue of ''[[Vogue (magazine)|Vogue]]'', the so-called ''Superhero Issue''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theinsider.com/news/848277_Tom_Welling_In_Vogue_Magazine_Photoshoot |title=Tom Welling In Vogue Magazine Photoshoot|publisher=The Insider |date= April 30, 2008 |accessdate=2010-03-04}}{{dead link|date=September 2011}}</ref> In his first major acting role, Welling played karate teacher Rob "Karate Rob" Meltzer, a younger love interest of Amy Gray ([[Amy Brenneman]]) in the second season of the [[CBS]] legal drama ''[[Judging Amy]]'', which aired in 2001. Welling was originally signed for three episodes; after receiving enthusiastic fan reviews, the producers kept him for three more.<ref name="teenmag.com"/> Welling also had a small role in the [[UPN]] science fiction sitcom ''[[Special Unit 2]]'', and he appeared in the pilot episode of the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|FOX]] sitcom ''[[Undeclared (TV show)|Undeclared]]''.<ref name="teenmag.com"/>

[[File:Tom Welling 1.jpg|thumb|right|Welling in 2009]]
Welling was cast in the [[The CW|WB]] superhero drama ''[[Smallville]]'' after a nationwide search for an actor to play [[Clark Kent]]. In an interview with a teen magazine, Welling spoke about the day he auditioned for the role: "I was on my way back from the [[Warner Bros.]] studio, and I stopped in a gas station to call my manager and tell him how it went. I called and got him on the phone and he said, 'Can you hold on a second?' Next thing I know, there are literally seven people on the other line and almost in unison they say, 'Tom, you got it!'"<ref name="teenmag.com"/> The [[Pilot (Smallville)|pilot]] aired in October 2001 and became the highest-rated debut for [[the WB Television Network|The WB]], with 8.4 million viewers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tv.zap2it.com/tveditorial/tve_main/1,1002,271|title=The WB Orders More 'Smallville'|date=2001-10-24|publisher=tv.zap2it.com|accessdate=2006-10-19|df=}}{{dead link|date=September 2018|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> Welling told ''[[TV Guide]]'' that he turned down the lead role twice, but after reading the script, decided to take the job. Like [[Christopher Reeve]], he was not a ''[[Superman]]'' fan prior to being cast as Clark Kent. In fact, he said, he continues to not read ''Superman'' comics: "I made a conscious decision to stay away from that material. We're doing something different at a time before all that, I don't want that to affect what I'm doing, even subconsciously."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://movies.about.com/cs/cheaperbythedozen/a/cbtdtw121003_2.htm |title=Tom Welling Interview – Cheaper by the Dozen Movie and Smallville |publisher=Movies.about.com |date=2009-10-30 |accessdate=2010-03-04}}</ref> He did get the chance to meet two previous ''Superman'' actors: [[Christopher Reeve]], who appeared in season 2: episode 17 titled "[[Smallville (season 2)#Rosetta|Rosetta]]", and [[Dean Cain]], who appeared in season 7: episode 4 titled "Cure".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kryptonsite.com/twyearbook1.htm |title=Tom Welling Interview from SV Yearbook |publisher=KryptonSite |accessdate=2010-03-04}}</ref>

I wouldn’t mind having my head shaved—as an actor, [it is the ultimate,] getting to play the complete opposite of your character."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.supermantv.net/smallville/Tom_Wellingmagazine.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041021232832/http://www.supermantv.net/smallville/Tom_Wellingmagazine.htm |dead-url=yes |archive-date=2004-10-21 |title=Tom Welling Interview |publisher=Supermantv.net |accessdate=2010-04-16 }}</ref>

That was the number one draw for me. Then, after reading the script, I really liked this character, Charlie. I liked what he went through, what he had to go through, and I felt I understood where he was coming from. And I just wanted to be a part of it."<ref name="filmmonthly.com"/> Welling had always been a fan of Martin's and said that he "absolutely loved" working with him.<ref name="filmmonthly.com"/>
In 2005, Welling co-starred in the horror film ''[[The Fog (2005 film)|The Fog]]'', a remake of [[John Carpenter]]'s [[The Fog|1980 film of the same name]], as Nick Castle (a character originally played by [[Tom Atkins (actor)|Tom Atkins]]).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cinemaspy.com/spotlight/exclusive-interview-tom-welling-4761/|title=cinemaspy.com|website=www.cinemaspy.com|access-date=2012-09-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131112094503/http://www.cinemaspy.com/spotlight/exclusive-interview-tom-welling-4761/|archive-date=2013-11-12|dead-url=yes|df=}}</ref> At the same time ''The Fog'' was in production, Welling was still working on the last few episodes of the fourth season of ''Smallville''.
