Tom Welling Refused To Cross This Line When It Came To 'Smallville'
Tom Welling revealed that he refused to do a musical episode of Smallville, to the point where he considered skipping out on filming!
Smallvillewas one of the longest running shows in superhero history - and on its parent network, the CW, amassing a whopping 217 episodes over 10 seasons. While the show managed to bring its own unique take on Clark Kent's early days, it led to some episodes that were downright weird. Season 4's "Spell" saw Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) possessed by the spirit of a witch. The Season 5 episode "Lexmas" not only doubles as a Smallville-style take on It's a Wonderful Life, but it also pushed Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) fully onto the path to becoming Superman's archenemy. There's also an entire episode that served as a stealth advertisement for gum. That's not a joke, by the way — an actual episode had someone getting superpowers from gum. But there's one idea that Smallville never touched...mainly because Tom Welling, who played Clark Kent, said that he refused to do it. What exactly caused Welling to draw the line?
