No, No, No! Maybe for the Smallville focus, but once he arrives at Metropolis he should be more mature looking. I like the TV show too, but I just don't see Tom Welling in the outfit. For one thing, his hair is all wrong. Something they could probably change through makeup and hair stylist, but his jawline is too weak, his lips too full, neck too thin. He just looks too young. Better off with unknown actors who share similar looks. Two actors that look like two versions of the same man (one young, one older).
