Warning: This interview includes Spoilers from Mafia Wars.Mafia Wars star Tom Welling shares the new experiences of playing Terry Jacobs and what it would take to get Smallville to come back. From playing Clark Kent for a whole decade on Smallville to portraying Cain on Lucifer, Welling's latest role is a very different gig in the new movie Mafia Wars.

In Mafia Wars, the story follows Terry Jacobs, who has just been released early from prison, as his newly found freedom comes to a fast end. Forced to now go undercover in a team of six, things go very south for Terry quickly while trying to get back to his family. Mafia Wars was directed and written by Scott Windhauser, and also stars Cher Cosenza and Cam Gigandet as Griff and Spinx, respectively.

Mafia Wars is an action thriller that loses momentum in the third act, which really drags the entire thriller aspect through the mud. Starring Tom Welling, who previously starred as Clark Kent in the popular series Smallville, Mafia Wars is a very different role. While he may add a certain level of star quality, it is not enough to redeem the rest of the movie from an underdeveloped script, poor pacing, and a supporting cast that was, by and large, mediocre.

Tom Welling achieved icon status for his role as Superman in Smallville and is now taking on a very different role as Terry in Mafia Wars. Written and directed by Scott Windhauser, the movie also stars Cam Gigandet and Cher Cosenza.

We recently spoke to the actor about Mafia Wars, learning how he approached this project, what it was like shooting in Italy, and some of his action movie influences (it turns out he's a big James Bond fan).
