James Kennedy Ministries based in Florida, can be labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as a matter of free speech.

Former “Smallville” Star Tom Welling Set To Star In New CBS Series “Section 13”

Tom Welling to return to TV with Section 13 on CBS

According to Deadline, ever-handsome (and former Smallville star) is set to star in a new TV series for CBS.

Written by Bones alumna Carla Kettner, Section 13 centers on a CIA black ops officer-turned-private contractor (Welling) who, after a personal tragedy, joins a covert organization devoted to carrying out the most difficult and dangerous high-stakes assignments. Welling and Kettner executive produce.

Since his star-making stint as Clark Kent/Superman on Smallville, which ended its 10-season run in 2011, Welling had been focused on features as an actor, co-starring in Parkland and Draft Day. He will next be seen in The Choice.

I think, to state the obvious, that 38 year old Welling proves the old adage that “like a fine wine,” he just gets better and better.
