    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.

    • @abbysands9510
      @abbysands9510 2 года назад +1

      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.

    • @abbysands9510
      @abbysands9510 2 года назад +1

      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.

    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
