Gosh!
His eyes are astonishing in that photo...Agent Pat, you really honor this man with your gorgeous pictures. I know I appreciate your efforts. He is simply perfection!
Oh, thanks bunches, Chel! But honestly, Tom makes it easy. Every time I see various screen captures of him, I'm reminded of just how perfect a casting choice he was for Clark. I know it's easy to get used to a particular performance with repeated viewings, but I don't know any other actor who can elicit the kind of sympathetic pathos Welling can with just a glance - and then be able to turn on a dime and be strong and commanding when necessary. He really does have that one-in-a-million look.
On a somewhat on-topic, but unrelated note, I read a thread this morning on Usenet that had me reevaluating some recent decisions LOL. Some folks here know I live in Boston. Well, technically, I live about 10 miles north of Boston. My hubby had recently got a job offer to work down on Martha's Vineyard. It was a BIG offer - one of those you really should THINK about this before saying no type offers. But we'd have to live there (it's a requirement for the particular job.) Now, the Vineyard is a beautiful place. In the summer. But it has its drawbacks too. It's an island for one, and getting your car on and off is one helluva kick in the teeth. There's no bridges, so you have to rely on ferries - most of which are booked up for sometimes a YEAR in advance. Most islanders have to have two vehicles because of this - one that stays on the island, and one that stays on the mainland....
Anyhoo... I digress. Point is, we basically turned the offer down because the drawbacks outweighed the benefits - one of which was a VERY nice salary. Then I read the thread I've excerpted below. Hee! I'm not gonna be telling my hubby 'bout this, but secretly I've been screaming schitt! schitt! schitt! ALL morning LMAO!!
Again, this is an excerpt. I haven't changed the content, but there were other parts that I intentionally left off, but the entire thread can be read
HERE for those who are interested. All of the parts specific to Tom are here though...
...Speaking of Tom Welling - I have met him a couple of times... he is VERY QUIET! More so than I would have expected... And he doesn't look that tall? But then again, I was working and he came into work out and later have dinner....
Oh well...

Get the **** out! You have NOT!
Caina.
You've met Tom Welling? You're kidding. You're kidding. OMG. When you send that tape, could you lick it across the top? That way I can rub it on my body and say that I have been licked by Tom Welling...sort of.

( ^ I'm still LMAO over that post)
Tom Welling went to school with the younger brother of some boys I went to school with... His wife is from a town just across the channel... Weird, isn't it? Because he is Canadian... Anyway... He got married on the Vineyard and he comes down all the time. The inn were I work has a health club attached and he works out when he is in town. Strider - I promise that next time he comes in, I will SAVE the towel he uses and I will FED-Ex it to you!
Sancy
is HE nice? If he's not, will you lie to me, so that I can still like him?
Strider
Hey Strider,
Actually, he was very lovely. But very quiet. He takes the term taciturn to a whole 'nother level. I can imagine that he wanted to lay low - but where I live, there are so many persons around, no one would care. Hell, I have even gone toe-to-toe with Harvey Weinstein! And, YES - his lips are NATURALLY as red as they look on the show!

Instead of going off the deep end, I just channeled by emotions into something more productive.
