Are they really the wonder twins or is that just what you are calling them?
Da Man says on 15/Nov/09
Yep, pretty good episode. The "Blur's" conversation with the Wonder Twins at the end WAS Superman. Yaspaa says on 14/Nov/09
Loved this weeks episode,uplifting and really sweet,aahhhh bless. Yaspaa says on 11/Nov/09
Smallville is getting a two part episode being put out as a tv movie about the forming of some super team,there isn't much more info given. Yaspaa says on 11/Nov/09
The guy to the right of Tom is the guy who plays Zod in the new season and he is a solid six footer. Hugh says on 11/Nov/09
I think it's your opinion on those facts, Patrick, just that.
Otherwise we have to coin "Patrick facts"... LOL Patrick says on 10/Nov/09
In the third picture Yaspaa gave us where Heyerdahl raises his hand to touch Tom’s face, Tom looks even taller as I saw him when watching the show, not to mention the heels advantage. Hugh, Tom looks a second shorter as if he was falling because he is under the influence of Zorel and is bending his legs as someone who gets a hit.
The rest of the time he looks at least as tall and even taller than Heyerdahl.
That’s a fact, not an opinion.
Yaspaa, who are the people around Tom on the last pic? Yaspaa says on 9/Nov/09
I see John Schneider was in the new episode of Curb your Enthusiasm as a Ménage à trois seeking dude. :D Yaspaa says on 8/Nov/09
I'll put this one up again. Click Here Da Man says on 7/Nov/09
FWIW, Rob has a pic with Heyerdahl and has him listed at 6'3", and based on the pic that looks a bit generous. Da Man says on 7/Nov/09
It's impossible to tell anything from that clip. Heyerdahl could be 1-2" taller or they could be the same height. Yaspaa says on 7/Nov/09
Plus the ground is isn't level. Hugh says on 6/Nov/09
I saw it yesterday on youtube a scene with Tom. Chirtopher was 1.5" 2" inches taller. Click Here and go to 3:10. In 4:00 Christopher lifts Tom up and holds him with the hands on his eyeline, then he lays him down (1.5" 2").
I know you can tell about boxes or other stuffs, but the whole clip makes Tom shorter, even if they are completely (head2shoes) in the picture. Patrick says on 6/Nov/09
Christopher Heyerdahl has NO two inches on Tom in that now "old" episode I watched two years ago or so. Now, if you have seen him recently, i cannot judge but int that one, he was not taller and i "proved it" a few moths ago right here. That doesn't mean he is not taller but that cannot be said after the 2007 episode. Hugh says on 6/Nov/09
Just because something is against your theory Patrick? Strange approach to the truth. Make your guess on those picture and clips instead of a useless "No comment" which is not a real no comment. Patrick says on 5/Nov/09
Why not 6'? No, better: Tom is about 5'7 and with angles and one foot lifts he appears as he does in the show for years. I think that reason is getting away from this site sometimes! No comment. sid says on 5/Nov/09
Hugh Chris heyerdahl is 6'4, he looked 2 inches on tom, take a inch of his 6'3, so tom max could be 6'2 to 6'2'5, maybe 1'5 inches off the boot Hugh says on 5/Nov/09
I saw Christopher Heyerdahl, and the Blue episode, where he is next to Tom. Christopher Heyerdahl is about 2 inches taller than Tom. This looks odd. Christopher Heyerdahl doesn't look 6'3" next to Rob, he looks more like 6'2". If and only if he is bending his legs next to Rob, Christopher Heyerdahl is 6'3" (this would make Tom 6'1" max). If and only if Christopher Heyerdahl had 1 inch shoes advantage on Tom (and this would be odd because Tom has thick sole boots in Blue scenes next to him, making me think they have similar sole thickness) Tom would be 6'2" max (otherwise 6'1" max). Patrick says on 3/Nov/09
DaMan, Yaspaa, thanks a lot for replying so accurately and I have more and more a better sight of what’s going on Smallville.
Regarding their respective heights, they do what the other “Superman” producers never did: mark the difference between the normal guy and his super hero face.
When I used to read Superman, I always was amazed they, Lois, Jimmy, Perry etc. didn’t seem to notice how big and tall was the shy and suave Clark!
Actually, they enhance in the show the hero while giving a human look to their civilian alter ego.
I nevertheless am quite sure Hartley is shorter and that Tom is 6’3.
Maybe, someday, will we have the actual confirmation of our respective opinions?
I really guess the Smallville crew is reading us DaMan!
Who knows?
Anyway, if Tom or Justin ever do it, they really must get a good laugh!
I still keep thinking darkness is an error for young Superman who always, but under some Kryptonite effect, a light being.
His primary colors outfit has something of “ultimate” when Superman. Da Man says on 1/Nov/09
Carwin stands a decent chance, but I honestly don't believe he has anything close to Lesnar's power or speed. Their backgrounds do match up pretty well though. You never know in MMA, but the way all my friends hate Lesnar I hope he slaughters Carwin.
Hartley and Welling have to be very close in height, I don't buy the old "1 inch taller" claims from Hartley. Yaspaa says on 31/Oct/09
Parts of the new episode had a 'Pretty Woman' vibe. Yaspaa says on 31/Oct/09
Episode 6 is another fun episode,chicks are far too tough as usual but there is a great Superman-ny scene. It looks like Chloe is starting to find her place as well. Keep it guys. Yaspaa says on 31/Oct/09
Shogun's tactics worked great,when Machida did his charge thing,Shogun was ready with the mid kick and did visible damage.I wasn't used with seeing Machida take damage like that,neither guy really tried to win the fight though. I'm gutted the Brock fight has been postponed as well,I want to see how Carwin stands up physically to Lesnar.
When Arrow wears his boots he is noticeably taller than Tom in shoes and vice versa,they must be just very similar in height. bye guys. Da Man says on 31/Oct/09
Yaspaa, I really expected Machida to own Shogun like he did Rashad. Machida is awesome, one of the best fighters ever in the UFC. I didn't see the last fight with Shogun, but there's a lot of people crying foul. I've read a couple reviews of the fight, and it sounds like it was a technical draw even though the decision didn't go that way.
Patrick, the last couple episodes they have really lightened up on the dark green/gray cinematography. It makes me wonder if some Smallville people are reading the board. :) Last nights episode was pretty good, Welling seems in his element when he isn't brooding, he and Erica Durance play really well off of each other.
I'd say when Welling is at the Daily Planet he looks to be in the 6'2" range, when he's doing the Superboy thing he looks to be over 6'3". His old farm outfit seemed to split the difference, IMO. I'm assuming the dress shoes don't give quite the height boost his Redbacks did, and the motorcycle boots give more. Da Man says on 30/Oct/09
I think Tom looks a bit shorter than the old days in his Daily Planet attire, and a bit taller in the Matrix outfit. There are times where Hartley looks the same height and sporadically taller when Tom is in the shirt and tie. Tom looks consistently and obviously taller than Justin when he's in the Neo get up. Patrick says on 30/Oct/09
Very interesting comments fellows! Above all for me! I'll be in NYC in one week and shall be able to tell you how "I" see things. DaMan's comment sounds just brilliant and I “feel” what he means. I nevertheless regret the so “Smallville” atmosphere from the Lex time. It used to be a very “1966 star trek like” show regarding photography (cinematography) and colors.
The dark green black and smoky light are now as common in strange or sci-fi series as muddy brown is for pseudo current westerns. Sid, I appreciate your comment too.
Superman is a “light hero” contrary to the Batman. I think yet that I’ll miss real adults in the show. Lex and above all his fabulous father brought something indispensable to any kind of show. Fortunately Clark is embodied by Tom!
How tall does he appear now next to the others? If they have insisted on making him looking taller (while I remember you saying exactly the contrary a while ago!) it can be anything but to grant him a super hero standard. What do you think? I feel like a blind man wishing being told stories he will never be able to watch! Da Man says on 29/Oct/09
Not for the first couple episodes, Sid. Patrick says on 29/Oct/09

Da Man This clark thinks he still is human, he's goona hook up with lois stil cares, yet i havn't seen much of his kryptonian side, more human side. Da Man says on 28/Oct/09
Last comment never got posted.
I think the current Matrix-lite Clark is Smallville's interpretation of Superboy. He turned his back on humanity, adopted the House of El shield and ditched the red and blue for a more Kryptonian color scheme.
I believe the producer's intent is that when Clark finally finds the right balance of Clark and Kal-El, the shield will finally merge with the red and blue and he'll finally be Superman.
Clark looks to get a noticeable height boost from his new boots. Yaspaa says on 27/Oct/09
Well you wait for one comment then half a dozen pop up at once..MachiDa. Yaspaa says on 26/Oct/09
Machita is my hero but godammit he lost. Yaspaa says on 26/Oct/09
Sorry if this message comes up twice.
Patrick I was just trying to bait Hugh into a arguementative debate...sorry Hugh. yes Patrick,I did get your Neo-esque matrix reference.
Anyway it looks like this season is the birth of Superman and the next if there is a next will be the full blown Superman.
Here is a shot from the new episode of Smallville,Clark is in his super-getup and Arrow is in some kind of loafer. Click Here
Here is Brandon Routh Click Here Yaspaa says on 24/Oct/09
Here is a shot from the new episode ,Justin in normal loafers and Clark in his boots. Click Here Yaspaa says on 24/Oct/09
I was just trying to bait Hugh for a bit of arguementative banter Patrick. Its looking like this season is the birth of Superman.
Lois refers to Clark in one of the new episodes as 'six and a half foot tall' hehe, but I have to say after a clunky first episode I'm starting to really enjoy it,its a different Smallville but maybe its about time.
Yes Patrick I got your 'Neo-esque' reference, only Clark has the powers in the real world...well the TV world anyway. Da Man says on 24/Oct/09
I think they are using this as the basis for Clark's current get-up: Click Here
It seems the producers ditched the red and blue because at the beginning of the season, Clark turned away from his "humanity" and embraced his Kryptonian side. When Clark finds the right balance between "Kal-El" and "Clark", the red and blue will merge with the House of El "shield" and he'll finally be Superman. At least, that's what I think the current producers are going for. It seems this phase is Smallville's interpretation of Superboy, at least that is what I am getting.
In the new episode last night, Oliver dogs his "Latrix" look pretty hard. I laughed, because he was right. And those "Latrix" motorcycle boots definitely give him a noticeable height boost, he looks taller in relation to Hartley than he does in his Daily Planet dress shoes. Patrick says on 23/Oct/09
Yaspaa, you're incorrigible! Never change, please but all of you, please, let me know about my last comment. BTW my play on words about "the Matrix"...I hope you got it Yaspaa. Patrick says on 22/Oct/09
Mickey Mouse shoes was just a joke from me. It is hard for me to follow your comments since i just have only seen a couple of the previous season and a fortiori none from the new one. Yaspaa and the others, what do think of this brand new character Tom is embodying: neither Clark nor Superboy. The "Latrix" look tendency is very far from the Superman "light". I wish i could read some of your opinions about "it". Yaspaa says on 22/Oct/09
Oh Hugh,I was expecting a very impolite answer. Hugh says on 22/Oct/09
Yaspaa I didn't mean to say "everyone else". He seems to be shorter than himself in the past seasons. Yaspaa says on 21/Oct/09
See, the same height. Click Here Yaspaa says on 21/Oct/09
He's hardly wearing Mickey Mouse boots though,they are just motorcycle boots,it was a daft comment to start with,seeming shorter than everyone else due due larger boots,nugget. Hugh says on 21/Oct/09
Thank you Patrick for giving him a polite answer. Patrick says on 21/Oct/09
You’re right but I think the supposition Big shoes could make look someone shorter is more related to “the look” they give to the one who wears them.
If you wear on outrageously heavy and thick hobnailed boots you possibly look less massive and as result, less big and tall.
In a word, Mickey Mouse wearing on “normal sized” shoes would probably look taller; I don’t know, I never came across him. Patrick says on 21/Oct/09

Yaspaa, thanks for taking into account my opinion. I think you figured out what I expounded about the show. I don’t doubt that some episodes can be good and interesting but what I am sure about is that is not what Smallville was like before.
If DaMan found it interesting and with a “touch” of Superman within, I am sure that “there is something” in it. The former producers were refined and very cultured people and characters as super heroes need and deserve artists and fine fellows to put their adventures to the screen, big or “small”. We all know that super heroes without that glimpse of intelligence and highness in their aim are doomed to failure.
Mediocrity doesn’t rhyme with super heroes, all the more reason with the greatest of them, Superman. The first 1978 feature film with Chris Reeve, a true aristocrat, was wonderful but the sequels and particularly the third one were disasters but for some scenes, admittedly funny but “no” Superman.
You know Tom is a huge fan of Jerry Seinfeld as I am and I am not surprised. As for Superman, comedy needs to be “no vulgar” and “easy” if you know what I mean.
As for the Katie’s picture, sorry but that’s really worth “nothing”.
BTW, Tom is perhaps shrinking for being the oldest Clark Superboy Kent ever! (joke, just in case…).
Happy to read you fellows. Luke987 says on 20/Oct/09
Just saw the comment about big shoes making someone look shorter. Utter rubbish, and I find it absolutely ridiculous how anyone can even attempt to reason it that way. I am 5'7, yet I have a bigger chest than my 5'11 friend. If I were to wear 3" heels and stand next to him barefoot, I'd be an inch shorter. I would look taller, because although proportionally I am now less stocky, I am nevertheless still taller.
Incredibly silly to suggest otherwise. Yaspaa says on 19/Oct/09
Yeah,a nice episode and poignant in Arrow's case.I'm not sure if Patrick will feel the same. Da Man says on 17/Oct/09
I caught the new episode last night, I though it was surprisingly good. I saw glimpses of Superman for the first time this season.
The "dark" shots were used sparingly.
Tom looks a tad shorter in his Daily Planet get up, I guess the dress shoes don't give him the boost his work boots or his Matrix/Neo boots do. I still say he's 6'2.5". Yaspaa says on 16/Oct/09
Katie,Justin is in motorcycle boots. Patrick says on 15/Oct/09
Anonymous wa "me" on12/Oct/09.Regarding the new season tone, I think, according to what I hear from abroad (in France we still don’t have the last season!) it sounds that, as I predicted, the new producers do not care of what Smallville really is. They just wanna make a show “in fashion”, trendy in a word, more “supernaturalike” - first season, gloomy, dark and pseudo gothic – than really continue what the series per se was “before”.
It’s not about “saving money”, it is much more profound and significant than that.
That happened for many other series already in the past.
CW just didn’t want to loose its probably more “money bringer” show while the former producer just had enough of going further. Remember they wanted to stop it after four years!
The new producers denature it in removing what was the essence of the show.
Most of people were fed up with Lana but the fact is between Lex and Her, that was the real axis of the Clark’s dilemma; probably too complex for Nintendo’s players (no pejorative) but please, recollect the fabulous and so fine, evolved episodes as for example, the last “third season” one.
When a teenager I found shows, novels plays, dedicated to us so stupid and I would just enjoy mature ones, maturely treated and played and written.
I know you will think I am too old and pain in the neck but I say what I feel and all the more since I feel too bad such a good has become so insipid and banal.
Smalville, a show among so many others with one super but spoiled actor, Tom Welling who nevertheless is still…6’3. Katie says on 15/Oct/09
I know, this is from bad angle and we dont see their shoes but Tom is clearly shorter than Justin.
Click Here sid says on 14/Oct/09
Yep I'm 5'10 I got 2inches on my shoes to make me 5'8 lmao Yaspaa says on 12/Oct/09
Surely big shoes just make your feet look big. Anonymous says on 12/Oct/09
Ok Hugh, I see what you mean. "Massive" shoes would make seem "the rest", comparatively "less massive" and as result "shorter". Hugh says on 12/Oct/09
Patrick, Yaspaa, big shoes always make people look shorter.. I'm not just talking about a thick heel. Anonymous says on 9/Oct/09
Thanks Yaspaa: I was wondering whether I was the only one to "notice that"! Yaspaa says on 8/Oct/09
How can bigger boots make him shorter. Patrick says on 8/Oct/09
Hugh, you say "seems to be shorter" because of big boots? Doesn't sound a tad contradictory? Patrick says on 8/Oct/09
"Aquaman" is not 6'1. He looks and is credited 6'2 and i believe it. sid says on 8/Oct/09
Anonymous says on 7/Oct/09 No Tom is 6'2 to 6'2'5 he was taller then 6'1 aquaman by 1'5 inches..he isnt a full 6'3 Hugh says on 7/Oct/09
This season Tom Welling seems to be shorter than the others...Perhaps due to those big boots.. Anonymous says on 7/Oct/09 says on 7/Oct/09
At least,i think that stuff of 6.3 for Tom Welling is out of question because i have just to read Christopher Heyerdal,s height and according to this site he is 6.3(although i have always thought that he was around 6.4 or even taller)and Tom was clearly shorter next to him maybe 2 inches shorter.In conclusion,i would say that Tom is between 6.1 and 6.1,5 but no more than that. sid says on 4/Oct/09
Here was party 3 years ago, with all the casts from Cw for each show, Pause it at 0:20 Tom looks almost the same height as Jared, and pause it at 0:55 Tom looks 2'25 inches taller then Jensen Click Here Yaspaa says on 3/Oct/09
I loved the second episode,the main story was good but the little stuff was reeeally good,I'm hooked again. Hugh says on 1/Oct/09
I wonder why the ninja girl is wearing blue contact lenses... Da Man says on 28/Sep/09
If nothing else, it looks like Clark can actually fight now. Yaspaa says on 28/Sep/09
I was not really impressed by the first episode of Smallville either but I shall save comments until a few episodes have been watched,on the plus side fringe was pretty good and regarding my very good effect comment from last week,I change it to a very well executed effect. Patrick says on 28/Sep/09
I got some report from my niece in NY and she told me that the first episode was as disapointing as the previous ones. Very talkative, a lot of close ups and "shot - reverse shot". She adored Smallville as I did for years. Smallville sounds not being Smallville any longer. Millars and Gough never should have quit before it was achieved and over. Too bad. Yaspaa says on 25/Sep/09
Smallville has moved to friday nights,that cant be good,can it? Seems Tom is adopting some rather learge boots. Click Here Patrick says on 21/Sep/09
Very interesting comments from DaMan and Yaspaa, as usual. You know, I was like the frog that is plunged into boiling water while you could be compared to the one being in cold water raised to ebullition point.
I mean, I directly came into the late 8th season and believe me, the shock was nothing but brutal! Kids playing adult parts, dull “villain” Lady instead of Lex…worthy of a low class teen age TV show.
Money has nothing to do with quality when the core is great.
How many series were mad with so little money before? I know that Superman needs “means” matching his mythology but remember, several of the best episodes weren’t those which showed FX or super sets!
The tragedy dimension doesn’t go through the importance of what is shown but only by the intensity of the characters, dialogues and the way it acted and of course, directed.
Smallville was one of the rare series made first (admittedly) for “young people” and even “very” young ones, which showed real adults over about three generations. One by one the have got ridden of them…Intensity comes from confrontation among people seeing things differently depending where they are and how they deal with life.
Clark, alone, summarized all of them hence his complexity, his doubts and hesitations, his mistakes. Hamlet wasn’t very far!
Now, it’s just words, words, words the one after the others, played “frowning at” the other to well show how serious it is. Sorry, I don’t buy it and remember, I love the “in absolute”!
Tom is 6’3 nevertheless! Yaspaa says on 21/Sep/09
Yeah,great effect for a TV show. clark says on 20/Sep/09
I think Paul Satterfield should be on Smallville as DC's Eradicator. Because of his height and looks like Superman--he would be a great match to the almost 6"3" Tom Welling. Da Man says on 20/Sep/09
Yea, I watch Fringe. Looking pretty interesting this season. You talking about when that nurse jumped out of the hospital? Yaspaa says on 19/Sep/09
Dm,do you watch fringe at all?..... regardless there is a sweet jumping/falling effect in the first episode of season 2,I wish Smallville had their budget!
The guy out of Dawson's Crack comes across taller in this, then again I would have needed to have watched Dawson's Cock in the first place to compare so scratch that. Da Man says on 18/Sep/09
I thought the 8th season started out strong, but took a MAJOR nose dive right around the time Lana showed up. From there on it was well below par for Smallville.
Regarding the upcoming season, I'm not sure how much is really going to change as the producers are still hoping for a 10th season which remains unconfirmed, as far as I know. Had a 10th season been confirmed, or if they KNEW this was the last season, I would expect more - a cohesive story arc with Clark making real strides to become Superman. As it stands now, I expect the producers to continue dragging their feet, holding out for the 10th season which may or may not come. If the next season doesn't get renewed, I expect a really rushed final few episodes that probably won't satisfy anyone.
It looks like we'll get more of brooding Clark (like the Neo outfit?), drunken/angry Green Arrow, Lex-lite Tess, and gullible Chloe. I hope I'm wrong, but I think the producers are afraid to commit to anything storywise. I wish they would have Clark BECOME Superman this season, and finish off the 10th season with Clark AS Superman. We'll see, but I don't have much faith in this team of producers either. But it's not like Gough/Millar would ever commit either. Where's Ben Edlund when you need him? Patrick says on 18/Sep/09
Thanks Yaspaa. Hope you are right! 8 days for you and 8 years for me! (joke)
I go to NY City in november and "i'll be the judge" again.
BTW, Tom, depsite all that, still is 6'3 ! Yaspaa says on 17/Sep/09
You know,last season was a troubled season what with budget cuts,stars etc leaving and the lack of knowledge of whether the show would be renewed or not,with all of this happening there was still a lot to like and with a bigger budget and more settled environment I have high expectations,there are no excuses this season. All of the more seasoned actors in the show have been phased out,whether or not they introduce more we'll have to wait and see,8 days to go. Patrick says on 16/Sep/09
Good news Yaspaa but I still am wary. I don't trust the new producers. BTW, what puzzled me when watching those 8th season episodes was the end of credits: still the same strange short clip with an shattered read china ink for Millar & Gough! sid says on 15/Sep/09
Yaspaa where is this article? Yaspaa says on 15/Sep/09
I've just read an article about season nine and a reporter says the effects look astonishing in promo which hints at a larger budget. Patrick says on 11/Sep/09
Yes Yaspaa! Exactly what I think! And more invention, psychology, finesse too.
Tom and the others as Superman myth deserve it; the best in a word. Yaspaa says on 11/Sep/09
Lets hope they have a bit more cash for the new season. Hugh says on 11/Sep/09

Patrick I had a better view then in person then some pictures, he looked 6'2 max 6'2'25 to 6'2'5 sid says on 9/Sep/09
Erik actually john schiender is more 6'2'5 same as tom Erik says on 8/Sep/09
You guys are so stupid, have'nt you ever wondered why he says "almost 6'3 instead of "about 6'2" It means that he is closer to 191 than he is to 188 cm, I personally think he is a solid 191 cm, but he might also be a 190 cm tall guy. But one thing is for sure and that is that he is no less than 190 cm. I mean just look at the guy that played his father in Smallville, "Jonathan Kent" who is also a 6'3 guy. Tom Welling is at least as tall as him, mostly looks even taller than him. Patrick says on 8/Sep/09
Hi guys! I'm back and must say I finally watched some 8th season in NYC and not only I see what Yaspaa meant about Chloe being very gullible (that is just ridiculous!) but may I add that I in any case recognize “my” show!
It’s gloomy, poor-effects-shot, botched kind of “all-these-new-ghost-spirit-vampire-teen shows” designed for decerebrate pre pubescent adolescents.
No adult as I feared, no mature people but Lois and Clark since Chloe joined the silly Smallville club.
Hartley is no Green arrow any more…
All seemed dulled, shot in close ups so as to save money (a very know technic) and with nothing which made of this show something different and with its own touch of personality.
Even Tom seemed not comfortable to play a so predictable and conventional character.
Where are the conflicts so subtle which lead character to evolve or go downhill as Lex?
I saw the same very CGI features type actors I see everywhere, in any basic cheap show.
Where is Smallville?
As for gauging his height, considering that he’s always shot in close ups, that has become practically impossible.
Angles now are not there to create a style but just to clumsily hide the poverty of the show!
BTW sid, no, I alas never could meet Tom when there in 2008! Just people of the crew saying “how tall he was”. Da Man says on 1/Sep/09
I think Welling's current listing is spot on. Alex says on 28/Aug/09 says on 28/Aug/09
I think Tom is 6,2.75 which still makes him 6,3 anyway because that will be 190 cm but a full 6,3 is 190.5 cm and rounded up 191 cm so i think Tom should be listed 6,3 at 190 cm. sid says on 27/Aug/09
Clay You want attention, cause you wtote it. I have my opinions to man..you never saw him in person I did, how can you judge. when you never saw? DaMan says on 26/Aug/09

What kind of car is this ( Click Here)? I thought it was a range rover sport, but after reading it's height (178.5 cm) I think it is a similar car... Da Man says on 17/Aug/09
Yea, I saw that yesterday. Insane speed. Yaspaa says on 16/Aug/09
Sorry to use Tom's page as a general comment pod but he is my base of operations...........Usain Bolt is........?!? How can you run 9.71 for the 100m and still be obliterated,its inhuman,he is the new Flash. It has been a long time since I have been speechless.???!?!?!?!?!!?
9.58 secs...!!! second only to Supes. Yaspaa says on 13/Aug/09
I cant find any pictures of him looking any other than 6'1. Noticeably is also a little stronger a word than that pic shows. Yaspaa says on 13/Aug/09
With Damien Fahey again. Click Here Yaspaa says on 13/Aug/09
The other guy is 6'2 though and Daly looks about 1" shorter. Hugh says on 13/Aug/09
Yaspaa Daly is noticeably smaller than Fahey in the third picture too. I'm still not sure he is 6'1". Lots of pictures show he is 6' (or less... ... ...). sid says on 12/Aug/09
wowuguys He could look 5'10. 5'11 max you tard.. what are you in highschool..I give him a inch on me max..shoes maybe 5'11'5 barely 6ft.. 5'10 was a guess cause we where eye to eye..i wil give him 5'11. 6ft in depends what kind of shoes.. tard your really immature... wowuguys says on 11/Aug/09
sid all your sayin are erratical u said on michael page u saw him and he was 5'10 like u maybe 5'11 and now u say hes 5'11 6 feet in shoes he cant be both hes either 5'11 or 6' u tard so stop posting stupid **** Yaspaa says on 11/Aug/09
Quddus is back left with Damien Fahey (listed on this site at 6'2)to his right. Click Here Click Here
Carson Dalyis 4th from left looking oddly small there but here he is again with Fahey now looking much taller Click Here The Tom Welling interview with Daly I remember Tom being noticeably taller. sid says on 10/Aug/09
Hugh That qUDDUS dude has a camera advantage. if that guy is 6'1 tom is 6'2 max 6'2'5 sid says on 10/Aug/09
wowuguys Rousembuam is actually 5'11 6 ft with shoes..I saw him up front and center..he was a inch taller then me I'm 5'10.. he could be 5'11'5 barely 6ft. tom looks barely 3 inches..2'5 the most..6'2'5 for tom.. after I saw Tom up close he looked shorter then I expected wowuguys says on 9/Aug/09
and if there was only 2.5 between michael and tom then tom is about 6'1 which i originally though he was wowuguys says on 9/Aug/09
i dont see how tom can have such a big camera advantage to be honest, not to mention the fact his knees are bent and michael legs are as straight as possible and he stills seem to have much longer legs and much bigger torso sid says on 8/Aug/09
wowuguys You guys got it all wrong..In that pic. Tom had the camera advantage I seen pictures of them both tom and micheal in street cloth..Tom had max 2'5 inchs..I'd say.. I don't buy 3 after I saw him in person in front of me.. Hugh says on 7/Aug/09
Click Here and Click Here he is with Quddus, everywhere listed 6'1" (I think he is more likely 6'). Tom seems to be same height, but Quddus is little more next to the camera, so I would guess one inch difference, 1.5 inch max. sid says on 6/Aug/09
Patrick Have you seen Tom welling in person?? I have he doesn't look full 6'3 he does look 6'2 to 6'2'5 max not quite perhaps 6'2'25 in a pic at the comic with the cast with callum blue who is 6ft tom only looked 2 inches maybe 2'5 the most.Yes the camera favors tom in that picture with kristin and micheal. in realitly he is 2 inch to 2'5 inches taller then rousenbuam.. theres a picture floating around when there both in street cloth tom looked 2 to 2'5 max..can anyone find that..i been trying to look for it. wowuguys says on 6/Aug/09
well after seeing the pic hugh posted welling's definitly around 6'3 cause michael aint no short man and perhaps kristin is indeed around 5'4 or 5'5 thats sick Yaspaa says on 6/Aug/09
No jest Patrick,apparently it will look something along the lines of this.... Click Here Patrick says on 6/Aug/09
Yes Hugh: I see at least 4 inches too on this picture between Tom and Michael;
Yaspaa, I really think this is Tom in each picture of the devoted site. He’s quite amazingly nice in any of them; and I noticed his hands even young, they are quite big!
Sid, thanks a lot for the “in live” info! Sincerely.
I am surprised that a 6’2 guy looks always so tall, even on those pictures where he appears taller or as tall as the tallest guys. Admittedly, what I say means nothing but…
Yaspaa, you are sure of what you said about the CK costume or is it another joke?
What you say about it looks like the one Dean Cain wore in some Lois & Clark’s last season, when he’s with Kryptonians.
I still see him 6’3 which sounds reasonable anyway. sid says on 6/Aug/09
Hugh way of course...Camera favoring Tom. there not on the same playing field..more like tom is 2'5 inches taller then rosenbuam sid says on 6/Aug/09
Yaspaa I watch it cause I been superman fan since 73.. smallville is some what like a incarnation of superman before he put on the tights..I'm just saying the last 4 seasons was a total pits. I'm sick and tired of this dragging of his devlopment him not flying.. Personally I rather see him fly then wear the suit..suit is good as well suit doesn't make the show.. it's the stories.. I have a gut feeling the stories are just gonna be lame for the past 4 years..I'm not a fan of the show I am a fan of superman. Hugh says on 5/Aug/09
Look at this... Click Here I see 4 inches between Tom and Michael... 3.5" at least. Yaspaa says on 5/Aug/09
sid,why do you watch Smallville yet tear it to bits,its like you're torturing yourself or something. sid says on 4/Aug/09
Hugh New season looks to be good..I figure since I was in the neighbourhood I would see what happening and it's happening..Metroplois set look puny.. it may look little bigger on Tv..I person think they should used all of vancouver for metroplois.. rather then some small set that has one street...something big is going on.. i saw erica durance and callum zod dude..telling how it was.. Hugh says on 4/Aug/09
Go sid go! :) sid says on 3/Aug/09
Dude I'm at my friends house more like across the street... from besford studios anways somethings bigs going on I see a big crane.perhaps flying could happen or anything..very lock and key. I saw erica durance coming out of the portable washroom...she looked pretty good. didnt see tom..metoplois set is small..they should of used all of vancouver for metoplois..I also saw zod dude guy callum blue.. he looks 6ft no sign of tom..just telling you guys..I'm gonna try and get some picture up close. cause there workers saying no picture. I'm gonna sway around them or try, Yaspaa says on 3/Aug/09
Lacrosse I think. Hugh says on 3/Aug/09
What kind of raquet is that, Yaspaa?? sid says on 2/Aug/09
Yaspaa If callum is 6ft tom looks 2 inches making him 6'2..as well as brian peterson...6'2'5 max..nothing over that Yaspaa says on 1/Aug/09
Is that Tom with a ponytail Click Here Yaspaa says on 1/Aug/09
Finally,one of Tom in a good light. Click Here Yaspaa says on 1/Aug/09
I'm still not sure about that first pic,Callum is leaning slightly,heres another. Click Here Yaspaa says on 1/Aug/09
It was just a point of interest really but I have noticed that Pine tends to have Stallone like posture. Da Man says on 31/Jul/09
Yaspaa says on 30/Jul/09
"Callum looks comfortably taller than 5'11.5 listed Indigo Montoya Click Here
Click Here and with Chris Pine Click Here He could be 185."
Callum does does usually look taller than 6'0", but he's typically in pretty short casts. And Pine has a pretty tall head, I think he likey edges Blue in that pic. Clay says on 31/Jul/09
Rob, Yeah I meant in terms of how long it is compared to other guys, doesn't look more than 8.5 or 9 inches long. Clay says on 30/Jul/09
Rob, do you agree Welling's face is pretty small for a guy ?
Click Here
[Editor Rob: it's not a long face, I don't think it's noticeably small for 6ft 2 height though.] Yaspaa says on 30/Jul/09
Patrick,apparantly Tom will don a new suit in the upcoming season but it will be all black with a silver S on front complimented by a trench coat!!?? WTF Yaspaa says on 30/Jul/09
Callum looks comfortably taller than 5'11.5 listed Indigo Montoya Click Here
Click Here and with Chris Pine Click Here He could be 185. Yaspaa says on 30/Jul/09
Callum looks a bit taller than his listing in the few things I've seen him in. sid says on 30/Jul/09
Hugh I Was near the set..in front..saw tom walking to his trucklish thing...still peg him 6'2 to 6'2'5 Da Man says on 29/Jul/09
vtec says on 29/Jul/09
"hartley has shoe advantage"
How do you know?
Also, compare 6'0" Callum Blue to Tom. Hugh says on 29/Jul/09
I can't see the heels vtec... sid says on 29/Jul/09
vtec Welling is probably 6'2'5 hartley is 6'2 Da Man says on 28/Jul/09
If you watch the video, you can tell Hartley is bent in all of those pics except this one: Click Here He straightens out here.
Josh.J says, "tut tut Da Man you actually want us to compare heights from those pics? there are so many things we cant tell from them."
Not really Josh, watch the video. This is from the San Diego Comic Con stage last Saturday. No chance of of the stage being "uneven" and the tilt of the frame actually favors Tom. The big unknown variable here is footwear. Patrick says on 28/Jul/09
I agree with Josh.J: that's kind of deceptive and too far to be taken into real consideration. It’s yet interesting.
Thanks Yaspaa for your sid comment’s translation! Is this “real” info or rumor (we say intox in French)?
BTW the “missing S” from news was probably the Superman’s Suit one. Hugh says on 28/Jul/09
DaMan, Hartley seems to be taller than Tom, indeed. Nothing strange, we don't know what kind of shoes they're wearing. This is just confirming they have similar heights. Josh.J says on 27/Jul/09
tut tut Da Man you actually want us to compare heights from those pics? there are so many things we cant tell from them. ok i admit hartley is leaning and still looks eye to eye with welling but it could be the angle, shoes...etc Yaspaa says on 27/Jul/09
News flash,Clark gets his superman costume in the next season. Its amazing how the s missing from news flash can cause confusement. Hugh says on 27/Jul/09
Have you been there on the set, sid? Patrick says on 27/Jul/09
sid: sorry I don't get it! What do you mean? Please...
DaMan: could you comment the clip; i just can't open it! Da Man says on 27/Jul/09
An interesting off the set Hartley/Welling comparison beginning @ 5:41 in this video: Click Here sid says on 26/Jul/09
New flash. smallville is going all supermanish now.. clark now has a suit.. sid says on 21/Jul/09
I saw welling few days back..walking to his truck suv. when I put my phone to take a picture he already was getting into his truckish suv..at besford studios.. dont ask me if they work on sun..just saw him in his reglular cloth..I still peg him for 6'2 max 6'2'5. No picture sorry..picture says a thousand words don't got one.. Da Man says on 17/Jul/09
I kinda laughed when Rogan said Belcher got robbed. So much for the impartial commentator. But I agree, I thought for sure Belcher had that fight in the bag. Not sure what fight the judges were watching. One of them gave "teh sexy" all 3 rounds? WTF Yaspaa says on 15/Jul/09
It was ridiculous,even the guy who won couldn't believe it,Lesnar's behaviour was lame also,I read he got a tongue lashing from Dana. Da Man says on 14/Jul/09
Uh yea, Belcher was definitely robbed IMO. jason75 says on 14/Jul/09
I met tom welling with my 6'3 friend, couple years ago, tom looked a inch shorter, Tom has said he is almost 6'3 not quite, perhaps maybe he is 6'2" 6'2.25 maybe, he did look really shorter than my friend. Yaspaa says on 13/Jul/09
What do you think DM,was Belcher robbed? Patrick says on 30/Jun/09
For once more, an obscure reason, 29 june Anonymous is just "me"! Anonymous says on 29/Jun/09
I am too short in time just now to properly answer but DaMan, I am proud, VERY proud of reading you about me. I don't know where to hide as we say in French!
I feel also so close to Yaspaa while so different in character but isn'it what is so interesting in meeting people?
My car was my old frined's one: a simple Chevy Caprice 1977 and the engine got the renovation it deserved. A very good and so American car ! I loved it an di have to simply give up on it"! This is not the place to explain why but that makes me feel sad. I really hope to be able to settle down in America. Who knows, we possibly will met and I wish Yaspaa could do the same! What a party around Tom who still is...6'3! (ha ha ha!) Da Man says on 28/Jun/09
4'3" Camaro? haha
I'm not dogging econoboxes as daily drivers, but as "hot rods". I don't mind them as appliances, even though the American manufacturers are building appliances just as well as anybody these days.
An "appliance" I would drive anyday: Click Here Yaspaa says on 28/Jun/09
1968 Z28,300 gross hp,4'3 and gorgeous. Click Here 2005 Mazda 3 2.0 sport (my asian box lol),148 bhp,not what you would call gorgeous but taller at 4'9.5 :D Click Here Da Man says on 28/Jun/09
What was that 350 in, Patrick? Yea, I remember most of your posts. I always find your opinions and view of the U.S. to be insightful, a different take than most. I believe you and I share a similar view of this country, and that opinion seems to be in the minority these days.
I love V8 American muscle and pony cars, no 4-banger, big-wing, Fast and the Furious, bumblebee sounding, no style, glorified econobox Asian cars for me. sid says on 27/Jun/09
Hugh Tom can look 6'2 when I saw him square in person, he didn't seem that tall to me..we where on even ground as well as Micheal R..I esitmated tom at 6'2, max he can look 6'2'5. Micheal R look the same height at me maybe perhaps a inch taller.. 5'11, 6ft in probably shoes..I know what I saw and estimation are mostly right..for heights..I usually narrow people height other I'm right on the money or slighty off.. Patrick says on 22/Jun/09
DaMan and Yaspaa (alphabetical order): I « had » a 350ci V8 Chevrolet! It has been “stolen” by a conman I had of late to officially complain against him. Yes, a bit from Tom’s height Ed Rob but “we are amongst friends aren’t we?”
I am amazed that both Yaspaa and you DaMan can remember about my love for US V8 cars!
I do intend to buy one when definitely settled down there DaMan!
My dream would to meet up with you, Yaspaa (who lives in UK I know!) and AAAA!
I am positively sure we have a lot to talk about and share!
This site is the best ever in what it allows us to encounter each other, even virtually, from such a trivial topic as knowing whether Tom Welling is 189.5 cm or 190 or possibly 190.25!
Only in America guys!
Hugh, I appreciate your humor too you know!
BTW tom is 6’3! Yaspaa says on 19/Jun/09
You may be right. Da Man says on 19/Jun/09
Oh, I thought he was just a fan of the V8. Yaspaa says on 19/Jun/09
I think I read patrick say he has a V8. Hugh says on 19/Jun/09
Patrick says on 17/Jun/09
If Tom is 6’2 sid, I am ready to publicly apologize and to serve you as a butler for one entire day! (Those who know and appreciate Seinfeld as I do know what I am referring to!)
------------------------------
I can't wait for it is proved!! LOL!! :D Da Man says on 18/Jun/09
Now you'll be able to own a real car, Patrick! :) sid says on 18/Jun/09
Patrick He looks like a 6'2 max 6'2'5 to me when i saw him..maybe he is almost 6'3, so 6'2'5 the max Yaspaa says on 17/Jun/09
Lost in translation,nuances and idiosyncrasies of different people and cultures is what makes the human race so interesting and unpredictable as well as being downright difficult to fully convey intent via the written word without being a literary virtuoso,also Tom looks around 189.5 Clay says on 17/Jun/09
Tom is nothign under 6'2.5. Patrick says on 17/Jun/09
Yaspaa, my friend, I didn’t misunderstand you because I knew what you were saying; say “my” way of expressing myself proves simply not that good! I 100% agree with you as the very common sensed man you are!
BTW: I got the green card and intend to settle for good in the States within two next years.
So, I’ll be able to watch series before their young stars are retired!
If Tom is 6’2 sid, I am ready to publicly apologize and to serve you as a butler for one entire day! (Those who know and appreciate Seinfeld as I do know what I am referring to!) sid says on 15/Jun/09
Tom is 6'2 to 6'2.5 Yaspaa says on 15/Jun/09
patrick you misunderstand me,I pretty much said this shot is also not very good but that Tom looks taller than in the other picture. 6'2 in the first shot and 6'3 in the second. Chad looks small and Jensen looks oddly taller than he should,footwear as usual is an issue so..... cry havoc and release these pics into the shredder. Patrick says on 15/Jun/09
Yaspaa, not only he is leaning but above all, that is decptive distorted wide angle shot. Definitely kind of picture just unusable! Come on that is obvious! Yaspaa says on 15/Jun/09
An even ropier shot,if Tom wasn't leaning back it appears he would be close in height to jared. Click Here The elusive Tom. Da Man says on 14/Jun/09
There is definitely a camera distortion. What is clear (once again) though is that Jared is notably taller than Tom. Josh.J says on 14/Jun/09
Yeah the shot isnt perfect. while the angle is decent, the actors have loose posture and jared especially is bending his head. straightened up he'll probably have another inch. plus we cant see the shoes (and its hard to guess to casual clothing). the only thing i can surmise is tom welling looks smaller than i thought he would be and he certainly doesnt look 6'3 barefoot as alot of his fans claim. Yaspaa says on 14/Jun/09
That shot is ropey. kali from me says on 13/Jun/09
there seems to be about 1.5 inch between welling and padalecki.. as for jenson he looks 6feet and a little taller than chad but somehow i dont believe hes taller than chad i think they both the same height actually Da Man says on 13/Jun/09
Nice find Josh.J Josh.J says on 12/Jun/09
tom looks more like 6'2 here. ackles looks an 1~2 inches shorter than welling and welling looks 2 inches shorter than jared padalecki. i'd say ackles-6'0, welling-6'2, padalecki-6'4.
Click Here Chessnuts says on 12/Jun/09
OK I just found something - Click Here He looks like a very wide guy compared to the others which could explain why he doesn't come across as an exceptionally tall person on screen. Chessnuts says on 12/Jun/09
So most of us still insist either 6'2.5" or 6'3" flat. I say 190cm (6'3" flat although I'm a little doubtful), but when can we expect some conclusive evidence?
And I see that quote "I'm almost six-foot-three", which leaves me with two questions: 1- If he really is 6'3" why would he say this himself? and 2- Where/When did he exactly say this. Clay says on 12/Jun/09
His head is on the smaller side, doesn't look more than 8.5 inches, possibly 9. What's the average size of a guys head Rob ?
[Editor Rob: 9.5 is a good figure to use in photos.
but 8.5-10 inch covers most head lengths.] Yaspaa says on 12/Jun/09
Good luck to the lad. Patrick says on 9/Jun/09
Sorry sid but that doesn't answer my question: "where did you see please, the two inch difference ". I am very accurate here and people around me saw exactly what i did myself. Do you have the DVD?
Yaspaa, i am sorry too because i am not fluent enough in "casual English" to figure out what you meant! Yaspaa says on 9/Jun/09
I thought heyerdahl was taller than 6'4. Yaspaa says on 9/Jun/09
Sid,lol,'superman natural' I almost pissed myself,anyway DM your mate Belcher is fighting at UFC 100,nice going,he's listed at 6'2...is that about right? sid says on 9/Jun/09
Patrick Chris is 6'4 he was also on supernatural.. he looked the exact same height has jared..tom being 6'2'5 so chis is 6'4 so 1'5 inches min.. max 3 if toms is 6'2 Patrick says on 8/Jun/09
sid, where did you see please, the two inch difference because i didn't see them in the face to face scene, just before Clark is tossed as a pillow against a car. He looks taller, but about 4 inches so, just at the begining of the scene because it is obvious Zor-El is still floating after his short flight. Hugh says on 8/Jun/09
Click Here and read the notes: Allison Mack confirmed in a interview that Tom Welling has signed on for Season 9 and Season 10. It depends now if the CW ratings is good enough for a tenth season.
season 10?!?! sid says on 6/Jun/09
Patrick Chris heyerdahl had 2 inches on tom welling..he was also on superman natural.. he looked the same height as jared padelecli |
