Mike: Here she is, Allison Mack! Very nice to meet you.
Allison: Nice to meet you.
Mike: Now, where are you from originally?
Allison: I'm, originally I was born in Germany, so...
Mike: Right, okay.
Allison: I have a certificate of a person born abroad, which is kind of cool.
Mike: Oh, a person from abroad, ok.
Allison: Um, yes! Or an American born abroad, I mean.
Mike: Right, right.
Allison: And then, um, I grew up in Los Angeles.
Mike: Isn't that nice.
Allison: Yes.
Mike: Germany and Los Angeles. And, and you're sane?
Allison: Ah, yeah! I'm very.
Mike: Oh, good, good.
Allison: I know, it's amazing!
Mike: Now, you see this is the second season of Smallville.
Allison: Mmhmmm.
Mike: Great for you. Now do you and, uh, Clark Kent get along all right?
Allison: Yeah!
Mike: Tom Welling.
Allison: Tom Welling is awesome. The only complaint I have about Tom is that he is a man of steel, like he is a super duper strong guy, like he's this really, you know...
Mike: Yeah he is a very big fellow.
Allison: --a manly man. And the first season we always had these scenes where he comes in and, you know, saves us, because he's Superman.
Mike: Yeah.
Allison: And it was like my first scene where I was getting saved and he has to run in and he stands there and, you know, flexes his chest...
Mike: Right.
Allison: and I run in and he embraces me and it's all...
Mike: Yeah.
Allison: ...wonderful. Well, my head comes right up to his chest...
Mike: Right.
Allison: ...and he has got a very strong chest.
Mike: Right, yeah.
Audience: Whoo!
Allison: Yeah, I know. So, I'm getting all geared up and ready to go...
Mike: Yeah.
Allison: ...and they yell ACTION! and I race in and my head bounces right off of his chest.
Mike: Awww.
Allison: It was like a full on ricochet effect...
Mike: Yeah, yeah.
Allison: ...and I, after like the fifth time, I was like 'Tom, I'm getting a little bit of a concussion...'
Mike: Right.
Allison: 'So if you could just envelope, maybe a little bit.'
Mike: Yeah, a hug. Like maybe a hug.
Allison: Yeah. Soften just the feel.
Mike: Well Clark Kent doesn't hug. Superman hugs, Clark Kent doesn't hug.
Allison: "No."
Mike: If you had read the comic books you would have known that.
Allison: Yeah, ohh.
Mike: Clark Kent doesn't hug but Superman does.
Allison: Yeah. Well I'm not a comic book character so I didn't have to do too much of that.
Mike: Clark is emotionally unavailable. Superman however...
Allison: Very! Yeah.
Mike: Yeah, Superman is just a pile of sappiness.
Allison: "He's a big pile of mush, but, you know, Lois gets him anyway.
Mike: Yeah, that's right. Lois gets him, that's right, but we don't get to see Lois, cause this is Smallville, Lois is not in the picture.
Allison: You are very good!
Mike: Well I read all the...
Allison: You know what youıre talking about.
Mike: Well I read all the comic books, ahh, through high school.
Allison: Oh.
Mike: Instead of what I was supposed to be doing which is getting an education.
Allison: Yeah.
Mike: Now this is, do you do your own stunts on the show, because there are quite, it's very stunt heavy, that show.
Allison: I uh, they try. I'm not very coordinated. Like the fact that I got down the stairs in these shoes is amazing.
Mike: Yeah.
Allison: Yeah.
Mike: Well, we'll give you some kind of...
Allison: Treat?
Mike: stunt treat for that, yeah.
Allison: Whoohoo! Well, they put me on a horse, that was this one scene where I was riding a horse, with Kristin Kreuk, who plays Lana, and Tom Welling.
Mike: Yeah.
Allison: And it as my first time ever on a horse, like, ever. And so I got on and I'm feeling so good, like dude, I'm a natural, like I should go and be a cowgirl or something.
Mike: Yeah.
Allison: And so I'm riding with Tom back so we can get into our first positions and all the sudden Tom looks at me and like, gives me a sort of like wink, and his horse speeds up. So I'm like 'ahh, ok, I get ya, I can handle this' so my horse speeds up, and his horse starts to trot.
Mike: Yeah.
Allison: And then my horse just gets a bee in its bonnet and takes off...
Mike: Yeah.
Allison: and like Tom says that the only thing he can see is my bum like three feet off the saddle and I'm holding on for dear life.
Mike: Which to me would not be a bad thing.
Allison: Well, yeah. I do work out.
Mike: Yeah, ok, good, good. Ok, hahahahah, ok.
Allison: And after that they decided to get me a stunt girl and I haven't done many of my own stunts since.
Mike: Ahh, yeah, ok.
Allison: Yeah.
Mike: Now a lot of actors get nervous through the audition process.
Allison: Yeah.
Mike: Has that ever happened to you, do you ever get a little nervous when you have a call?
Allison: The only time I ever got really stressed out was when I was twelve and I've been acting ever since I was four, so I've been acting for a really long time.
Mike: Oh yeah, ok.
Allison: But I was twelve years old and had a huge crush on Elijah Wood. He's in Lord of the Rings.
Mike: Boy, we really have a lot in common!
Allison: Oh? Weird.
Mike: Huge crush on Elijah Wood.
Allison: Huge crush. Like I had pictures of him all over my wall, did you do that too?
Mike: Oh... me... :: shakes head ::
Allison: And he was doing this movie called...
Mike: Til I got the letter from his lawyers.
Allison: Oh.... anyway... Um, he was doing this movie called Flipper, which was like a remake of the old tv series.
Mike: Right.
ALLISON MACK: And I had gone in for like three or four time, they really liked me, it was all great. So then finally I had to go in and meet with Elijah and read with Elijah and I walked, I was going, I was totally cool. I'm like 'Yeah mom, itıs totally fine, Iım not gonna be nervous at all, it's gonna be great, yeah, he's gonna love me, blah, whatever.' I walk in the room and I see him and all the saliva in my mouth disappears.
Mike: Yeah.
Allison: And I'm standing there staring at him and like my teeth, my gums, my lips and sticking to my guns and my teeth are hanging out like I have dentures on, and he's staring at me like I'm totally retarded.
Mike: Yeah.
Allison: And needless to say I didn't get the part.
Mike: Oh.
Allison :It was an awful, awful, awful audition and I think the next time I meet Elijah I'm gonna change my name and pretend.
Mike: Well if you don't mind me saying so I saw the movie and what a lucky break for you.
Allison: Hahahaha.
Mike: Now, acting is like a transit, it's very difficult, you know, you're on the show, you're not on the show, you're doing a commercial, then youıre not doing a commercial. Is it lonely for you? Do you, do you, you're living in Vancouver, it's not really your hometown.
Allison: Yeah, I'm living in Vancouver and luckily my lovely boyfriend just decided to move up with me.
Mike: Aww, that's nice.
Allison: And we got a dog.
Mike: Aww, that's nice.
Allison: I love dogs, I have, we got a puppy, his name is Phantom. We actually have a picture of him...
Mike: Oh you have a picture of your puppy, let's take a look.
Allison: Maybe we should show it now, yeah, let's show.
:: shows picture of Allison and her dog ::
Mike: Awww, isn't that cute.
Allison: Thats Santo!
Mike: Yeah
Allison: Isn't he the cutest?
Mike: He is, he's a cute dog.
Allison: He's the best dog ever.
Mike: Good.
Allison: And he is like...
Mike: He's a German Shepard isn't he?
Allison: He's a Shepard and a Malamute and just a whole bunch of stuff.
Mike: Oh yeah. Oh, don't worry about the things you read about them.
Allison: Oh! He's very good.
Mike: They rarely turn out wrong.
Allison: Yeah, right! That's what I've heard.
Mike: Just the neighbor's.
Allison: He's fabulous. His paws, he's gonna be so big, his paws are the same size as my palm.
Mike: Wow.
Allison: He's huge.
Mike: So he's gonna be about your size.
Allison: Yeah, well bigger than me probably.
Mike: Yeah, a little bigger.
Allison: He's amazing though. He's like, well, this is the first time Iıve been away from his for more than twelve hours at a time, so like leaving this morning to go to the airport, I was leaving and was it was like a huge big deal.
Mike: Oh yes.
Allison: "And Im calling him from the airport, and my boyfriend's name is Peter, and I was like 'Peter, is he ok? Is everything ok?'
Mike: Next time put him in a suit and buy him a ticket.
Allison: I should, yeah. You know what, he's very well behaved, more well behaved that the people that I was sitting next to in the row...
Mike: Yeah well, you know the people in the plane...
Allison: so I could probably get away with it.
Mike: are often, ah, bad news. Now, what I really wanted to do was, somebody told me you do tongue tricks, I wanted to see you do some kind of tongue tricks, and, uh, I was hoping youıd do that before we went to commercial.
Allison: Hahahahaha, well, um, there's this one kind of fancy one... and it's like ah...
Mike: Ok.
:: Allison does fancy tongue trick ::
Mike: Whoa, that's...
Allison: Kind of a good one. Kind of a good on, you can tell what I did in elementary school on the school bus.
Mike: Yeah, that's wonderful. Very nice.
Allison: You were reading comic books, I was playing with my tongue.
Mike: Well youıre a lovely poised person...
Allison: Thank you.
Mike: and I want to thank you very much for being here and we'll see you again soon.
Allison: Thanks for having me.
Mike: Smallville, ladies and gentlemen!
