Cassidy Freeman talks about her experience joining Smallville in its eighth season and how lonely it felt joining a well oiled machine in a new country. It was great hearing how she built a bond with other castmates through her time there over the next few seasons.

Cassidy Freeman (The Righteous Gemstones, Smallville) joins us this week and talks about the lonely and uncomfortable experience of joining Smallville in its eight season along with the bonds and connections she eventually created with castmates Tom Welling, Erica Durance, and Alison Mack. Cassidy shares her thoughts on the false idea of perfection during comparison and how she has started to let go of the idea of perfectionism. We also talk about the joy of working on the set of The Righteous Gemstones with Danny McBride and John Goodman, her love for Longmire, and leaving a legacy through journaling.

Cassidy Freeman talks about loneliness joining Smallville in Season 8 #insideofyou #smallville
She looks exactly the same. She seems very down to earth. She did a great job on smallville. Happy you had her on your podcast!
she even just had a baby too.
She's a Vampire.
Still really hot.
Is Smallville that old ?? Omg some of these actors haven’t aged that much
This is great. Finally Cassidy Freeman is interviewed! Is there a full version of this interview? Tess Mercer -- the thumbnail photo of her with Clark Kent (Tom Welling) is Perfect! Lex Luthor's half sister who chose a more enlightened path
Cassidy Freeman totally owned the role of Tess from the first time she appeared in 8x01 Odyssey all the way to the series finale.
and it was great she is such a cutie and fun and nice they couldn't keep her the bad guy for very long they had to make her fit with the group cause she's so lovable.
Yes Cassidy Freeman as Tess Mercer is excellent!! Very layered and powerful
Before she even started didn’t want her to be on the show because you don’t want someone replacing lex, BUT she was great from that first episode to her last ! One of the best things of the later seasons
Ya I always really liked her
Hello
You are american???
Definitely, I thought she was a great addition to a show.
Her smile and her laugh made me smile. She's magnetically gorgeous. ❣️
WOw! I had no idea she had worked so little before booking Smallville. She was REALLY great as Tess.
Wow I didn't know she was only 24. Her character acted so mature I thought she was 27+. She played the character so well.
I thought that she was in her 30s.
Pretty hilarious that she was probably younger than Welling was when he played Clark in season 1 as a 15 year old.
I think she made a mistake regarding her age when she first started Smallville because the math doesn't hold. According to her Wikipedia page she was born on April 22, 1980, and started Smallville in 2008 this puts her at around the age of 26 years old after Smallville aired in the fall.
If we assume that she was cast in the role of Tess Mercer meaning that she learned that she got the role before April her birth month 2008 then she would have been 25 years old and 26 years old when they started filming in July. I use July as the date they started filming because Jensen a.k.a Dean Winchester mentioned in an interview that Supernatural ends in May or June and they get some time off and then start filming again in July. Since Supernatural was CW a show and so is Smallville I am using that as a baseline.
I do think she played Tess very well and she was a perfect cast. To date, there are only two interpretations of Lex Luthor that I like the first is Michael Rosenbaum and the second is Jon Cryer. I did not like Kevin Spacey's interpretation of the role or Gene Hackman. I am not saying their acting was bad but I saying I didn't like the way they portrayed the character in comparison to the two I mentioned.
@@abbysands9510 she probably meant from when she auditioned and went through the casting process.
She did a very good job for an amateur, I thought she was an established actress. I watched the seasons she was in as a teenager and I will tell you something, she scared the hell out of me. That means she did a great job as a villain.
She definitely exceeded expectations. She fit in WAAAAAYYY better than I thought she would
Cassidy Freeman nailed it playing Tess! She was so impassioned on Smallville. What a fantastic addition to the crew. 👏
Amazing woman. Loved from the first second she came on and was so happy to see her on longmire.
I loved that she became like Clark’s ride or die.
Tess became a favorite character of mine and that’s rare for later seasons of shows. I loved how she became a huge supporter for the whole group and basically died protecting Clark and his journey becoming a hero. (Yes I know she technically comes back to life in the smallville comics)
As someone who got introduced as a villain she changed and I always had a crush on her
Her version of “Mercy” was a great reference to the source material.
I loved Cassidy Freeman in the Longmire series ❤
When Michael Rosenbaum and John Glover left the show after season 7, i felt there was a massive void after them because they were such a huge part of Smallville but i felt when Cassidy Freeman came in as Tess Mercer for season 8, she really helped fill the void that they left behind. Her character was very different to the Luthors but i thought she did an excellent job playing the villain / ally, she was a combo of Mercy Graves and Eve Tessmacher all wrapped up in one plus she was sexy as well. She was definitely the ultimate bad girl who was easy on the eyes but also an evil vixen who wasn't afraid to do whatever it takes to get what she wants. Loved her work in the final 3 seasons and was a perfect fit for the cast
She had one of my favorite scenes in the whole show! When she read the book to little Alexander!! I think it was Peter Pan. It was such a damn good scene, and she KILLED it!!
Lex and his sister talking about pot smoking. Smallville really had everything didn't it.
Absolutely love her on Righteous Gemstones.
I really liked her caracter in smallville the acting was so good and everything well written
She was really good on Longmire. Terrific show.
This is great. Finally Cassidy Freeman is interviewed! Is there a full version of this interview? Tess Mercer -- the thumbnail photo of her with Clark Kent (Tom Welling) is Perfect! Lex Luthor's half sister who chose a more enlightened path
This is the clips channel. The full interview is on the main Inside of You YT channel.
I love the Marriage episode where they get all trashed and they find them in the club jamming out..
That episode must have been so fun to film..
For over a year or so now I've been watching Longmire on Circle TV, mother LOVES that show. To me it was the first time I saw Cassidy Freeman. Since the. I've seen her pop up on shows that were on before Longmire, as well as recently seeing her on NCIS: New Orleans. I don't remember Cassidy Freeman being on Smallville though...
She is so Beautiful
The scenes were Tom and her teased being lovers was totally believable. They had great chemistry.
I loved her on smallville and especially Longmire!
She did a great job I liked her in the show. I just finished the show recently for the first time I never saw the show in it's original run.
Legit how I felt coming in to Teen Wolf in that second season.
Such a good show also 👊
@Stephen Ford YO stephen, i've loved your work! you were the one that got me into ROBOPOCALYPSE (great short film btw) back in undergrad. I graduated USC and now work in drama dev @ cbs studios doing broadcast + cable/streaming. i'd love to connect w/ you. r u still in LA? let's pm.
With Jason Bateman?
Tess was a great character - Cassidy Freeman did an amazing job.
Love her work in longimre and in smallville. She did an amazing job with the depth of the role and her character's meandering morality.
While I would have loved for Tess' arc to end a different way - she did a great job in the role and made it memorable.
I love seeing how down to earth she is.
didnt want any replacement but she was great, and think about it, she didnt even replace him , she had her own redemption story
she aged so gracefully, amazing.
Cassidy was a great fit to smallville.
Second to this I would of loved more screen time with Lex and Tess.
@@oimatrixio Right?! All we got was “Love ya Sis” then Lex stabbed and killed her. Gives the phrase sibling rivalry new meaning.🤣
@@mattg177 one that he’ll never remember after Tess’s poison taken affect. Man I loved this show and it’s really great to see Michael and Tom come together after 20 years. HUGE fan of the show and I do still religiously watch it from time to time.
@@oimatrixio Same Here. So nostalgic to hear them talk about their time on the show.
She's still gorgeous 🥰
I loved her as Tess. It's always fun to see how nice and even vulnerable an actor or actress is when they can play a conniving hard ass villain.
People at my job say I'm a "private person" because I don't blad about my personal life or invite them to my house. I wonder if Tom is the same way. I'm always friendly to coworkers but emphasis is on the "ly."
Agreed.
She did so well!
She was gorgeous in Smallville
I liked her so much in Smallville.
Tess was my favorite female character in the final seasons. I hated, between lots of things of the series finale, how they wasted the character and made her die
Jesus! She hasn't aged a day! Total vamp! She looks great.
Oh my god she was 24 when she started as tess I’m 24 now that is so strange tess was one of my favourites near the end of the series but she did have that bad streak until she redeemed herself which unlike lex she proved she was more then just a luthor
She is awesome. Love her
Red Heads like Tess 😍😍😍😍
The hottest woman in show business. Damn right, I said it.
Cassidy is even more beautiful than when she appeared on Smallville.
She was perfect as Tess. Felt like she was a vet, not a newbie. Impressive.
She’s was great on the show
Verite 👍🏾
Great eyes great smile. Loved her on the show !!
I was worried when Lex left, as his shoes were big to fill. But Cassidy filled those shoes and then some. For someone to come in so late in a show, she was ace. She held her own in every scene. Even though she was a "baddie" to start with I couldn't help but love her Tess Mercer character.
I would be watching Gemstones and thinking she looks so familiar. Now I know why
What a beautiful woman. When she straightened her hair in season 8 I fell in love.
Got that perfect tomboy look like Erica down pat. You want to play ball with her, roast marshmallows and jog, I'm not joking.💖
Cassidy Freeman was fucking awesome on Smallville. Played Tess like an absolute boss.
To this day when I hear someone say “a strong woman,” I think of Cassidy’s character.
So nice for the big brother to interview his younger sister.
I love you Cassidy❤
Had a huge crush on her. Those eyes are hypnotizing.
I love how the video cuts at "Tom's awesome but he's a pretty private person" cause I wanted to know about everyone else!
Cliffhanger!
Lol, IKR
I never really liked her character but she did a great job. Tough shoes to fill!
She was great, but I honestly loved her best in longmire
I love seeing actors I like turning out to be really normal knuckleheads like me!
She is beautiful !
I love how she is wearing a Judy shirt. I love The Righteous Gemstones
Even has the folds on the top from unwrapping it. 🤣🤣
She was só perfect on the show
She seems so sweet
How the hell did I only just now put together that "Tess Mercer" sounds like Teschmacher. I'm college educated so, y'know... shows how much that's worth!
She was super hot in smallville, just loved seeing her in the show, still hot now too lol
Her smile man..
Ayyyyeeee she's with the shitz 🍃🍃💨
Fell for the Lady right from the start.
The coolest person in the whole line up... Yes including Rosenbaum ;;)
Wait, she was in the Aquaman pilot they made with Justin Hartley?? I need to see that again. 😂
Actually had a bigger crush on Tess than Lana and Lois.
Love her!! ❤❤❤
Tom was 24 also when he started playing CK, I believe.
TO be fair, "replacing MR" is probably more of a feature of the show's mind, not the audience. As an audience member, I thought of Tess as a brand new character, who yes, had to prove herself as an ally of Lex, but not a literal replacement.
First it was Chloe > Lana, then it was Lana > Chloe, then it was Lois > Lana > Chloe, then it was Chloe > Lois, then it was Tess > Chloe > Lois. For me, at least.
Hey! Rosie! It does NOT rain 90% of the time in Vancouver. Less than half the time: 43% (average no of days/year in the last 25 years). Just setting the record straight.
Hyperbole
----------------
Your head
@@r0bw00d I know it was hyperbole. Just tired of the same old hyperbole.
I know a camera operator and an AD that worked on smallville.
They always say that when a pro says that they smoke or they use to and it always makes me laugh
She was a great addition to the cast IMO, though she had some big shoes to fill in the ongoing storyline.
I have only seen seasons 8 to 10 once, without Michael/Lex the show was not the same.
This is absolutely correct! There is no Superman without Lex Luthor!
It was a little better. There is no Superman without Lex Luther but he wasn’t Superman yet he needed to come into that and he needed to be away from people like Lana and Lex to do so
@@shataysianelson9414 I agree with you on the point about Lana. I feel they drug out the Lana love interest why too long and brought in Lois way too early. Lana shouldn't of come back in Season 8. Clark was healing from her absence and even starting to look fondly at Lois. Of course the writers had to bring Lana back for a couple episodes just to create more drama 😑
Just came across this. How do you find the full episode.
She still has those pretty eyes I could just stare at them all day
Loved her in longmire
I’m a stoner and Michael is right so definitely doesn’t look like a pot head at all
She’s still hot as hell
I thought she did a fantastic job..also had huge crush on her..
She don't seem to be nervous at all when acting
I use to have fantasy's of this women absolutely gorgeous
My daughter Lutessa is named after her character. Just don't tell my partner where I got the name 😅.
Has he ever said why he left after s7?
I totally think Cassidy is a hippie. Most people who smoke pot smoke it like a beer drinker. So Cassidy totally gives off that vibe to me. I’m not sure Michael could handle drugs.
Cassidy Freeman talks about loneliness joining Smallville in Season 8...at the very fucking end of the clip and only lists one example.
Pra quem não entende ela disse q fuma maconha desde quando estava em smallville
I love how she was a stoner and he had no idea. 😂
That's Tess Mercer 😊😀
I missed mr as the flash on justice league the animated series
Stopped watching when Michael referred to pot smoking as drug use. C’mon man just cause you don’t doesn’t mean it’s the same as snorting coke or shooting a line. Good lord.
👍
