I'm sure it is. You can tell they enjoy working together.

I don't think we're getting a gag reel on the S6 DVD's. I always like watching those.

Yes, Allison has often raved about working with Tom. And I think I've read somewhere that Tom enjoys working with her, too, of course. It really does come across in their acting.

Unfortunately, it's true...no gag reels for the S6 DVDs. They're some of my favourite features on those earlier box sets. Now that I think of it, I don't think there were many Tom/Allison bloopers, but only Allison by herself...although I'd have to rewatch them, to be certain.

This is a great thread.

And I just wanted to say that I love what Allison says about Tom's directing in the quote posted in the opening post.

[happy mom]

Glad you like it, Andrea!
Their friendship is certainly one of many that have formed during the course of this show.

Yes, those are kind words about Tom. I wonder if there are any additional words of praise from Allison, for Tom's third time in the Director's chair...I'm sure she thought he did a great job.

I'm sure they're really supportive of each other.

[-wait for it-]

this is a nice thread...are there more like it? cause you could make one for nearly all of his co-stars

I see you found the Tom/Michael thread already.
This thread, and that one, are the only two such threads we have at the moment.

That's true.
I guess it may depend on the interest that's out there, for discussing the other friendships.

I haven't checked the first post again, but isn't there a quote from way back when (like season 1) where Allison mentions how every time she had a close-up Tom would give her a hug?

[happy mom]

That quote isn't in the first post of this thread...maybe it's somewhere on the SV board?
Anyhow, that's such a sweet thing for Tom to have done for Allison.
He's so supportive!

[DanceWithLife]

I gotta find it again. Off to search.

[-wait for it-]

i haven't heard that before

That's really sweet.

Good luck with your search, Andrea.
It would be great to read the actual quote.

Just thought I'd post this here...Allison was at the Superman Celebration over the weekend and she was asked a bunch of things during the Q&A. A few questions were about working with Tom.

When asked what the weirdest thing she was ever asked to shoot on Smallville was, she responded with this scene she had to do with Tom.

Q: "What is the weirdest thing that they ever made you shoot on Smallville." A: "Oh my God, there's so many. I think when Clark burns the hole in my chest and pulls out the tracker thingie... That was pretty strange, shooting that, because essentially it was me staring at Tom and screaming, as if he were burrowing lasers into me... that was a little weird."

And here she is asked what it is to work with Tom and she jokes that she gets a crink in her neck because he's so tall. Then she goes on to praise the hell out of him.

Okay, I could see how shooting that one scene would have been strange.

Awwww, I loved hearing what Allison had to say about Tom!
The man gets some serious praise from her.
Thanks so much for the YT link and the Q&A quote, Andrea.
