SMALLVILLE INTERVIEW: CASSIDY FREEMAN


Few days ago, Cassidy Freeman (Tess Mercer - "Smallville") Answer some questions about her work in season 8, in previous interviews she haven`t talked so much about Smallville`s star Tom Welling, but now she had nice words about him:
Cyn: This season you have the pleasure of being directed by two of your co-stars. Last week Tom Welling directed you in “Injustice.” How was that?
Cassidy: It was a lot of fun. Tom was the only director that actually gave me homework before the episode started - he made me watch a Danny Boyle movie called Sunshine. It’s kind of like a team of people who go out and try to reactivate the sun, it’s a really beautiful movie and I don’t know why it didn’t get more press. He made me watch it, then it got me all excited for the episode and then it was all kind of done so amazing. Tom and I get along very well and being directed by a fellow actor, especially for me who maybe doesn’t know all the directors that well, it was really nice to be directed by someone that I had a relationship with prior to the episode.
Whereas Tom has directed a bunch of episodes, and he’s also just been there for eight years, he’s super savvy and very quick to know how things are suppose to look.
Tom’s a little more laid back and very linear about his story telling, which then ends up looking beautiful. Also, Tom does this great thing - I don’t know if he always does this, but he did it - we’ll do some takes, we’ll get the coverage need and then at the end he’ll go okay this one’s for you, and he’ll let the actors just do one for themselves i.e. go for it. And he said nine times out of ten that’s the take he chooses, which is really cool.

So, what do you think? It`s always wonderful to hear about gorgeous Tom, isn`t it? ;)
