One Embarrassing Smallville Moment Changed Tom Welling Forever

It's clear from how Tom Welling spoke about the situation with his former "Smallville" co-star, Michael Rosenbaum, that he was deeply embarrassed by his conduct on set that day. "I'm telling you, dude, I haven't felt this since, or before, this complete... 'I'm so out of line right now, and uninformed, and embarrassed,'" the actor continued. "Everybody was like, 'It's okay, you didn't know, you didn't have the information.'"

Of course, the fact that Welling was both directing and starring in the scene in question could help to explain his high-stress level. He reiterated how this situation changed how he approached these kinds of moments in the future. "That experience has helped me now as I deal with a set situation or life situation where you have to remind yourself, hopefully, that you may be triggered, but you may not have all the information for the situation," Welling explained. "I never did it again, by the way. I never raised my voice on set."

While it's obviously not ideal how the behind-the-scenes drama unfolded with regard to the "Smallville" episode, it sounds like Welling is genuinely sorry for his behavior. Furthermore, because it motivated him to do better in the future, it's good to know that something positive could at least come from his outburst.
