March 12, 2014: Toronto ComiCon - Allison Mack Looks Back on "Smallville"
Allison Mack participated in a Q&A session at the 2014 Toronto ComiCon this week, where she looked back at playing Chloe Sullivan for 10 years on the TV show "Smallville".
- "Every time you do the first season of a TV show, they say it's gonna be a huge hit, it's gonna be such a big deal, and then six episodes in, you're canceled," recalled Mack. That wasn't the case with 'Smallville,' of course, which after setting a record for a pilot with The WB (the show was later aired on The CW following a network merger), went on to live for 10 seasons and over 200 episodes.
"I was just hoping they wouldn't kill me," joked Mack of her character, Chloe Sullivan, a woman created specifically for the show instead of being realized from comic book source material. She, of course, wasn't killed off (Mack joked that anytime her character was hit or fell in a scene, she would keep her eyes opened - "they can't kill you if you keep your eyes open, right?"), as Chloe evolved greatly across the decade, becoming more independent and influential.
"It was great, once I settled in," explained Mack, adding she personally was more excited about the direction of the series after the fifth season. "There was such a relationship between myself and the legend and the show. The fact that DC [Comics] ended up buying my character and my likeness was so cool and crazy."
"It really felt like an intimate thing we were developing with the audience, and it was a privilege to have the opportunity to develop something from the ground up."
