Thanks to that wonderful person maboroshimaki I just read Rutger Hauer's comments about working on Smallville.

I loved his description of the show: "It's an eyecandy factory."

He is full of praise for the director, but doesn't say who the director is.

He is full of praise for Tom Welling, too. He says:

One of the best things about the profession is that you get to work with some really great colleagues. So here I am. Doing my scene with Tom, who I have just met and who is something twenty and was basically discovered two years ago. No previous training. And as we go I find one of the most generous and gentle guys to work with. Relaxed, together, upbeat, intelligent and on the cellphone one moment and focused for a 100% the next. Having a good time with it and me.

Liking it that he can be a bit silly as the character. Just lovely. God bless him. Truly an actor you'd wish for to work with if you could. A very special treat. And at least as nice as you would think when you watch him going through some of the insanity of the series. He hopes to get into films after being released from the series. Pffft. Three more years to go. I reassured him he had it all going for him. No doubt about it. So Tom. I hold you in the highest regards. You are a haloblizzard, or I'll be damned.

There's a picture too, which I'll put under a cut tag.

So do I, and he wears it well.

Just how tall is Tom Welling? Rutger Hauer is a tall man, but Welling is taller.

Tom is 6'3!!!
I've seen him quoted as saying he's "almost 6'4" too :)
Think about what that means for proportion of body parts!
(I am so perverse it's scary... well, not really.)

So we split the difference and say 6-foot-three-and-a-half inches?

Re body parts: yeah.
