July 24, 2017: Tom Welling Joins the Season Three Cast of "Lucifer"
by Neil Cole
Former "Smallville" star Tom Welling has officially joined the cast of "Lucifer" for the upcoming third season of the FOX television series.
According to Variety, Welling will play the role of Marcus Paige, an accomplished police lieutenant who is strategic, reserved and well-respected which is everything Lucifer is not. But perhaps even more annoying are all the things the two characters have in common, both being charming, charismatic and "handsome as hell."
This will mark Welling's first return to television since the epic conclusion of "Smallville" back in 2011. Since that time, Welling has pretty much avoided the entertainment spotlight while starring in only a handful of films including the historical JFK drama "Parkland", the NFL sports drama "Draft Day", and the romantic drama "The Choice".
The third season of "Lucifer" premieres on Monday, October 2nd at 8:00PM (EST) on FOX.
