Welling is best known for his portrayal of Superman on The CW’sSmallville, which premiered in 2001.

The series took an unprecedented magnifying look at the hero’s origins over the course of 10 seasons. In fact, Welling’s Clark Kent character didn’t embrace the Superman identity or wear the iconic suit until the series finale, which jumped seven years intoSmallvilleClark’s future.

Despite its departure from standard Superman imagery,Smallvilleconsistently paid tribute to earlier adaptations. The series featured cameos from franchise alumni, like Welling’s predecessors Christopher Reeve and Dean Cain and previous Lois LanesMargot KidderandAmy Adams.

The actor’s arrest comes just after he celebrated his wife, Jessica Rose Lee’s birthday on Sunday with a loving tribute shared on Instagram.
