Allison Mack has been surrounded by so many costumed costars on Smallville, who could blame her for wanting to slip into a cool disguise? She’s joined the second season of Riese, a sci-fi/fantasy web series so impressive it may soon find a home on television. The story involves a kingdom overthrown by a shadowy, terrifying group called The Sect, which drives the people to near-feral behavior. Their only beacon is a mysterious wanderer, Riese, and her wolf. Allison plays Marlise, an ambitious member of The Sect feigning innocence to mask a manipulative mind and thirst for power. The series is on brief hiatus while new distribution paths are hammered out, but you can click here to preview the upcoming episodes. Allison’s longtime boyfriend, Chad Krowchuk, is in charge of the production design; go behind-the-scenes with him here. The two also star in a unique short film, Frog, which is currently traveling the festival circuit. It unfolds across five blocks in one single camera shot, examining “the fragile nature of human dependence and the difficulty of saying goodbye to a person we still have so much of ourselves stored inside,” the synopsis notes. You can enjoy the trailer below. These are just two of the side projects Allison is involved in. Once a supporting star, she is now one of The CW’s most beloved leading ladies, and we look forward to Chloe’s evolution in the Justice League watchtower.

Just some information.
The video entry is not from Smallville but from the movie Frog that Allison stars in with Chad Krowchuck.

Oh I see that you’ve named the trailer correctly, but it shouldn’t be under the heading Smallville

I adore Allison Mack and Chloe Sullivan and am so glad to see you call her a leading lady and one of the most beloved of the CW. There’s a site out there called “Legendary Chloe” at http://www.legendarychloe.com that is all about promoting Chloe and Allison both and which is pushing the premiere of a fan made commercial for both of them in Los Angeles this spring.
It’d be SO exciting to see this affiliate cover that too!
