Cassidy Freeman Shows No Mercy
In the beginning of the year, Cassidy Freeman was set to star in a new medical drama called Austin Golden Hour … until it fell through. However, it was because of this sudden change of plans that Freeman got a gig portraying bad businesswoman Tess “Mercy” Mercer on the CW’s hit series Smallville.
“I am having a great time at this time in my life. The best thing so far has been getting to work,” she said. “Honestly, as an actress you never know what is going to be next and this is guaranteed to be like something new every week.”
