SMALLVILLE REUNION: TOM WELLING's Survival Mode Confession, the Creators' One Regret & Untold Casting Stories

The band is back together. Tom Welling (Smallville, Lucifer), Kristin Kreuk (Smallville, Murder in a Small Town), Erica Durance (Smallville, Saving Hope) and creators Al Gough and Miles Millar join me to celebrate 25 years of Smallville. We get into the casting stories nobody has heard end to end, the network that flat out said it did not want the show, and the renegotiation that nearly wrote Lex Luthor out. Tom opens up about spending ten years in survival mode, Kristin gets honest about the super stardom she never wanted, and Al and Miles name the one thing they would change about the show. We also cover the secret Spider-Man 2 job, John Glover asking Tom for acting advice, and everything coming to Nashville this November.
