• The main cast of Smallville, including Tom Welling as Clark Kent and Kristin Kreuk as Lana Lang, were older than the characters they portrayed.

The DC TV show Smallville tells a sprawling Superman origin story over the course 10 years. Unusual for most Superman adaptations, Smallville is not a Superman TV show, per se, but a saga of the journey Clark Kent (Tom Welling) takes to becoming the Man of Steel. This means that Welling's Clark Kent is one of the youngest live-action versions of the character ever portrayed, with Smallville first beginning during his freshman year of high school and abiding a "no tights, no flights" rule for most of the show.
As with most movies and TV shows centered on adolescents, the main Smallville cast were all somewhat older than the characters they played on the show. Additionally, the exact ages of the show's adult characters is not always made clear, but can be inferred from the story, along with where Clark is in developing his powers and his journey to becoming Superman. Here are the ages of the main characters of Smallville, and how close they are to the ages of the actors and actresses playing them from the show's start to Smallville's ending.
