Interviews: Tom Welling talks joining Lucifer and reminisces about his role on Smallville
In a sit down with Variety, Tom Welling discusses the life-long lessons he took away from his 10-year role on Smallville and how he found his way back to television when joining Fox’s Lucifer.
When asked what he took away most from his role as the Man of Steel, Welling said:
“The idea of it being a team effort — it’s not really about one person ever — and the more you communicate the better. You have to try to elevate whatever material you have in front of you the best you can. You just try to go in there and make the best thing you can and have a good time doing it.”
