How did Christopher Reeve get to act in 'Smallville'?
Tom Welling He recalled the moment with Christopher Reeve during a reunion with the cast of 'Smallville' at New York Comic Con. Welling commented that, at the beginning, the production had planned for Reeve to record only his lines and for his stay to be only three hours. However, this was not the case, since, as Welling revealed, Reeve did not want to leave and insisted on staying to record it personally with the protagonist. “He was only supposed to be there for about three hours, but I think he stayed for six and a half. She was like 'I don't want to leave'. The idea was that he would shoot all of his takes and leave, and I would shoot all of mine with someone else. But he wanted to stay with me! He got to the point where the nurse would tell him 'I'm going to call the police.' And he 'by whom?' and she 'For you! You're done, you can't be here anymore!' He just wanted to be there. He came out great and the story was fantastic,” he expressed.
