SMALLVILLE’s Allison Mack Says She’d Like To Return To Acting; Reveals She Lost All Of Her Money
Published By admin
Allison Mack became famous for her role as Chloe Sullivan in Smallville. Seven years after the series ended, Mack was arrested for her ties to the infamous cult NXIVM, led by Keith Raniere. In 2021, Mack was sentenced to three years in a federal prison, of which she served two. The former actress has now returned to the public eye.
Following the release of a podcast retelling her story with NXIVM, Mack sat down for an in-depth interview on Inside of You, hosted by her former Smallville co-star, Michael Rosenbaum. During the conversation, she was asked if she saw herself acting again. Mack stated she did, as she missed acting to the point where she had joined an improv class:
“Yeah, I really miss acting a lot. I mean, I just took an improv class—a beginning improv class […] and it was a blast. It was so fun. It’s really nice to act without having to worry about what I look like. It’s really nice to act without having to worry about whether or not I’m gonna get a callback. Like, just to act, for fun. It’s just so fun to do. And so, I think that I will always have that in my life, because I think it’s just good for me. And when I teach, we act. Like, we’re doing improv, putting together scenes, and there’s something really lovely about that.”
Still, despite that, Mack said she missed her former acting endeavors: “I miss working with really good actors. Doing really good work. But I don’t know how to be an actor without doing it the way I used to do it.” When asked if she had accepted the possibility that she wouldn’t be able to act professionally again, Mack said: “Yeah, I don’t even think about it.” She then said that, if an acting opportunity came to her, she wouldn’t necessarily take it due to feeling like her life is “full.”
Later in the interview, Mack also revealed she lost all of her money: “I have moments where I’m like, ‘Man, this is hard.’ Because I lost everything, you know? I lost everything. And so, dealing with how hard you have to work to keep your health insurance… I mean, I have residuals, which is amazing, and has afforded me a lot of freedom, but it’s not what I used to have.”
Rosenbaum then said: “Yeah, for all those years. You were on Smallville for ten years. And probably, every cent was gone.” Mack confirmed that was the case, and revealed she lost her New York apartment. Following that, she told an anecdote that made her realize how much her financial situation had changed:
