Tom Welling is a terrible actor, though. He hasn't improved any, either. He's on Lucifer right now and he drags down every scene he's in.
I disagree I think only reason that Alba was cast to get some viewers. January Jones or Charlize Theron would have been better choices. Well still Doom would have been terrible and the script and well everything else.I think the Jessica Alba F4 movies were cast well too
I watch Lucifer once in a while, but haven't seen Tom Welling. Last episode I watched was with the sinner man. Don't usually watch this kind of show, but I like Lucifer for some reason...
Anyways, I think Tom Welling was good for teenage Superman. I think most of the casting in the show was pretty good actually, including the parents and Lex. I always enjoyed that show before superhero shows became so commonplace.
I think the Jessica Alba F4 movies were cast well too, at least for the F4 themselves. Much better than the reboot that needs another reboot.
Brandon Routh in Superman Returns - They asked him to basically sub for Christopher Reeve and IMO he nailed it. It's not his fault the idea was stupid.
Kevin Spacey was good as Lex too even if he didn't really look the part. I kinda like that movie although the story is dumb.
