After 10 seasons as the chiseled young face of Superman, "Smallville" star Tom Welling has decided to step behind the camera for a while.

He's now trying his hand at producing, and has already gotten one series made under his Tom Welling Productions banner -- the cheerleading dramedy "Hellcats" on his old network, CW.

The show only lasted a season, but his years as the lead on the network's flagship series have left its executives more than happy to keep taking his calls.

CW President Mark Pedowitz said during a press event at the Television Critics Association tour this past summer that Welling had pitched another series concept in the spring, and that he hoped to hear from Welling again for the next development season.

As for what sorts of projects Welling is pitching, and whether or not he'd star in them, it's impossible to say -- these things are always secretive, and Tom Welling Productions doesn't even have a website.

He opted not to act in "Hellcats" -- granted, he would have stuck out a bit on a college cheerleading team -- but he did pull double duty as both the star and a producer on the final season of "Smallville."
