Smallville wardrobe director Steve Oben apparently used a creative method to highlight the assets of certain characters in the series.

"In certain sequences, he used to stuff socks into certain people's underwear to give them bigger bulges," said series co-creator Miles Millar in an oral history of the show published by The Hollywood Reporter. Which characters got those enhancements, however, was not disclosed. Oben served as the costume set supervisor for Smallville for 20 episodes of the series from 2007 to 2008.

The interview also featured series co-creator Alfred Gough and Smallville stars Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Kreuk, John Schneider, Annette O'Toole, John Glover and Erica Durance. Earlier in the interview, Rosenbaum, who portrayed Lex Luthor in the series, reflected on Oben's lively on-set attitude.

"I'd go, 'I don't want to wear a purple shirt again,' and he'd say, 'I don't care what you want to wear. This is what I was given. Wear it or don't. It doesn't hurt me,'" Rosenbaum said. "He would always come up to us and say as he's fixing our wardrobe, 'You should do that [take] again.' Or he'd say, "I don't know why we're going again, that was perfect.' Out loud. Directors would hear him. He was just a personality. He was fun."

Smallville ran for 10 seasons on The WB/The CW from 2001 to 2011. "We worked with people for years and years," Kristin Kreuk, who portrayed Lana Lang in the series, said in the same interview. The friends that I’ve collected, and there are only a few of them from Smallville, are people I worked with — makeup artists, camera operators, those are the people who we saw every day."

"That's the great thing about a TV set. For any set, you've got to create a family," Gough said.

Tom Welling, who portrayed Clark Kent for 10 seasons, and co-star Rosenbaum recently teased that they are attached to a Smallville animated series, along with Gough and Millar. Speaking to CBR, Welling explained why Smallville ended when it did, and why they're returning to the story in an animated series. "We ran out of story for Clark. Clark had to become Superman, and Smallville could not be a Superman series," he said. "It just wasn't built that way. So what we're trying to do [with the animated series] is sort of jumping into this other arena where we can maybe service that idea and have fun doing so."

Smallville ran for 10 seasons on The WB/The CW before continuing in comic book form. Welling also reprised his role as Clark Kent for the Arrowverse's "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover event in 2019.
