As a struggling actor early in his career, Drew Scott landed a role on the CW showSmallville. And while it didn’t exactly show off his acting chops, it did put some other assets on display.
“I was the body double for Tom Welling,” Scott, 42, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “So when they’re doing like butt shots and ab shots, I was the one they were using.”
“It was great. It was a little side thing,” he continues, explaining, “I was pursuing acting back in the day and between gigs a friend of mine who was the stand-in for the character Lex Luther, said, ‘Hey we need a fill to do some stand-in and some photo doubling for Superman,’ and I’m like, ‘And you’re looking at me?’ So that was just a fun gig I did a little bit of.”
