Tom Welling

Combined his handsome look with a talent in performing he naturally possesses, Tom Welling has truly emerged to the Hollywood film scene as one of the most potential young actors of his generation. Born as Thomas John Patrick Welling on April 26, 1977, in New York, he spent his early years going around different parts of U.S., like Wisconsin and Delaware due to his father's occupation as a General Motors executive before finally settled in Okemos, Michigan just before the start of his sophomore year. Transferred his study from Wilmington's Salesianum School to Okemos High School, this dark-haired teen actually was not quite studious despite an enjoyment in history subject so it was not very surprising when he preferred to work instead of continuing his education following his graduation in 1995.

Chose a more physically demanding occupation as a manual construction worker at a warehouse, Tom later took a spring vacation in 1997 to spend time with a few friends in Nantucket where he was spotted by catalog shoot scout working for the world-famous photographer Bruce Weber. Heeded the person's suggestion to try his hand at modeling, he eventually accepted the offer to be a printed model for Abercrombie & Fitch, and subsequently found himself developing a career in this field ever since. Relocated to Manhattan, this tall guy then spent the next years to work under New York Model Management plus IMG while also traveled across the world to do modeling stints, either walking on runways or conducted some photo sessions.
