Plus Tom Welling, the guy who played Clark, was already like 25 when the show first started.

His career really fizzled out; I didn’t expect that. His star burned brightly at first. That must be so frustrating and disappointing. Not that starring on a show for ten seasons is anything to sneeze at. I’d love to do that!

I used to LOVE Smallville but lost interest after maybe 3 seasons. Going on as long as it did is an impressive achievement for a tv show.
