The Podcast "Talkville"Tom Welling recalled the shooting of her scenes with Christopher Reeve over a weekend. Recording most of the episodes in Vancouver, Welling flew to New York to work with a Reeve, but the Starwar veteran had to leave after delivering its ranks so that Welling could record its lines with another actor. However, it seems that the former Starwar "Superman" had other plans and was unwavering that he stays and makes the whole scene. "Chris did not leave," Reica remembered. "I think six or seven hours later, his nurse (...) she was constantly saying," You have to leave, it's time to leave, "and I remember saying," If you don't leave, I call the police. "

According to the co-creator of "Smallville" Alfred Goff, who spoke Hollywood reporter For the oral history of the 2021 exit series, Reeve ended in shooting eight or nine hours after being originally scheduled for a half -day shoot. "The compensation he received for the role of guest starter went to his foundation as a donation," Goff explained. "We were able to use the" Superman "theme, which was also great. This was a very big moment for the play. "

Out of giving everything he had at the scene, Reeve also gave Welling to play his blessing "The Man of Steel", with the Smallville Smallville saying, "It was astonishing, he told me," I'm glad you are the next Superman, " I still get a cold. ”Welling also appeared along with a Reeve in the short promotion Video For the Christopher Reeve Foundation, the report of the two actors is obvious. By the end of the piston, they manage to crack each other at a time that speaks to Reeves' insincere spirit.

Interestingly, the actor's performance at "Smolville" was far from the only link between the show "Superman" from the late 1970s and 80s. In the series, Annette O'Tuli played the adopted mother of Clark Kent, Martha, for the first six seasons, but she would have played Clark's childhood friend Lana Lang in 1983 "Superman III" (a movie that is not remembered as one of the first two, but one of them, but one of them, superhero films that complain about the main actors they have made). Other actors from the "Superman" films that also appeared in "Smallville" include Terrence Stamp, Margot Kidder and Mark McCure.
