Welling sat down with online <a href="http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/">Sci Fi Wire</a> and revealed to that site that he is completely unschooled in the Superman legacy. Tom Welling said that he's never seen a Superman comic and did not make use of the background material on the character, provided by the network.
"I went into Smallville clear-minded," Welling said. Welling also stated that he based his performance solely on what was in the scripts. The show's scripts are getting early priase for having the right mix of angst, sci-fi, and action.
Welling is also confident that the show will live up to expectations that are being set by it. "I think we've got a great show here. The scripts are solid. I think we've got enough quality and substance that I don't feel the pressure," the actor told Sci Fi. "Also, we're up here in Vancouver, so I'm separated from a lot of the hype. We're just going to do good work and, hopefully, that will speak for itself."
Thanks to <a href="http://www.comics2film.com">Comics2Film</a> for the heads up on the interview.
Also, a short interview with Smallville executive producer Alfred Gough will be featured in the latest issue of the foreign magazine SFX. The magazine has already hit stands overseas and should hit our shores soon.
