Daddy’s home! Tom Welling touches down in the Dec. 6 episode of The Winchesters (The CW, 8/7c), and we now have a first look at the former Smallville star’s grand entrance.
Per the episode’s official logline, “the hunt heats up, and Mary and John find trails that lead back to their fathers.” So, how does Welling factor into all of this? Why, he’s playing none other than Samuel Campbell, Mary’s father. This also makes him Sam and Dean’s maternal grandfather, hence the genetic handsomeness.

It’s a damn good time to be Tom Welling. The Goat of CW royalty who lifted the then-WB to heroic heights (sans tights) with Smallville is currently everywhere. He’s got a podcast with former costar Michael Rosenbaum, he threw New York Comic Con into a frenzy with his surprise appearance at The Winchesters‘ panel announcing his upcoming stint as Samuel Campbell, and of course, he has Professionals, the internationally-filmed action series he headlines with the suddenly-buzzy-again Brendan Fraser, which is currently airing on the network. Oddly, the show itself was shot years back, before the central storyline of futurist Peter Swann (Fraser) and grizzled security expert Vincent Corbo (Welling) racing to stop a global outbreak was more science fiction rather than sad fact. “We wrapped just before Covid sort of happened, I wanna say three years ago,” Welling recalls. He adds that after watching the series premiere episode,...

Henry is described as “the intellectual patriarch of the Winchester clan."
“Having come from a long line of Men of Letters, Henry fully dedicated his life to the institution," reads the description.

Tom Welling will be pulling double duty on The CW this fall.
News broke Sunday during the New York Comic Con panel for The Winchesters that Welling had booked a role on the forthcoming Supernatural spinoff.
Welling is best known for playing Clark Kent on The WB/CW's Smallville.
According to TV Line, the actor will play Samuel Campbell. If you watch Supernatural online, you know Mitch Pileggi originated the role on the original series.
The Winchesters is a prequel that tells the story of John and Mary Winchester, so it makes sense to have Mary's father (Samuel) as a part of the cast.
The casting news reunites Welling with Jensen Ackles, who appeared on Smallville.

There’s going to something of a Smallville reunion on The Winchesters. During the Supernatural prequel’s New York Comic Con panel, it was announced that Tom Welling has been cast as Mary’s (Meg Donnelly) father (and Dean and Sam’s grandfather), Samuel Campbell. He’ll first appear in Episode 7. In Supernatural the role was played by Mitch Pileggi, who now plays Jared Padalecki’s father on Walker. Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images for ReedPop Jensen Ackles, who reprises his role as Dean and serves as narrator and executive producer on The Winchesters, played Jason Teague on Smallville prior to Supernatural. And when Welling joined the panel briefly, he said, “this is all Jensen’s fault. I lost a bet.” Added Ackles, “we’re really, really excited to have Tom. We knew we were going to need somebody to come in and somebody with the power and the strength and the history.
