About Me
|
Now in the middle of her seventh season on The CW’s acclaimed drama “Smallville,” Allison Mack stars as Clark Kent’s (Tom Welling) best friend, Chloe Sullivan. Mack’s role continues to grow throughout the series as her character comes to terms with latent a super human power developed from being exposed to kryptonite the day Clark Kent arrived on Earth.
Mack also starred in Showtime’s critically acclaimed feature “My Horrible Year!” This story follows the intricate and turbulent life of a teenage girl as she turns sixteen. Mack, who brought years of training and experience to the project, proved to be the perfect fit for Eric Stoltz’s directorial debut. The story was written and directed by Eric Stoltz and also starred Karen Allen and Mimi Rogers.
Since beginning her career at age 4 in her first commercial for “German Chocolate,” Mack has continued to be a busy working actress with an impressive roster of television roles. She garnered much attention for her portrayal of a teenager who abuses and inflicts wounds to her wrist on The WB’s “Seventh Heaven.” In the fall of 2000, Allison starred in The WB’s “The Nightmare Room,” and “The Opposite Sex,” as well as a recurring role in “Evening Shade.” Allison also starred in Disney’s feature “Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves” and “Camp Nowhere.”
An avid fan of musical theatre, Allison’s talents extend beyond film and television. She received rave reviews for pulling double duty, both as a choreographer and performer in “Rent” and “Chicago.” As a result of those performances, Allison was offered the chance to make her directorial debut with Jer Bear Productions’ staging of “Hair.” Rave reviews from LA Weekly, Backstage West, The Tolucan Times and The Burbank Times all attest to Allison’s diversity in the entertainment field. Music and dance, as much as acting, remain a passion for Allison.

Favorite Quote
"Keep walking, though there's no place to get to. Don't try and see through the distances. That's not for human beings. Move within, but don't move the way fear makes you move. Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and frightened. Don't open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground." ~ Rumi.
