Tom Welling – Then
Tom Welling is another of the 2000s heartthrobs that found his place there because of a run on a hit WB/CW series. Getting cast in Smallville launched him into stardom. From there, he found success in films such as Cheaper by the Dozen and The Fog.
Once the show was over, it seemed that he took a little time off from acting. Though he landed a few roles, he seemed to stay out of the limelight quite a bit. Perhaps he needed a break from all the attention that came with playing the young Man of Steel.
