Best Actor / Actress

[Dresden]

Of the main cast, who delivered the best performance of the night?

[rebecavaldez]

Tom, Erica, Allison, and Aaron are the only ones in this episode.
I think it's going to be Erica. It's a Lois centered episode, but who knows. I'll vote after the episode airs!

[Kal El 12]

chloe once again stands out.... they better not get rid of her or her character after this season

[Shaftell]

Chloe did a great job tonight.

[Melekith]

I can't DISAGREE with you more Kal El 12. I found Chloe to be very boring and dragged out. I voted for Tom.

[doodie8808]

I can't DISAGREE with you more Kal El 12. I found Chloe to be very boring and dragged out. I voted for Tom.
yes she was so boring and whiney ugh! voted for jimmy! lois was awesome too!:)

[Sports72Xtrm]

I'm tied with TW and Aaron Ashmore but I picked TW

[rehana/chole]

allison/chole cause she was great and everybody is picken on her i like cause every body see her a treath which mean she dam good , u idoit better bring her back for season 9. but why is she kissing davis in next wk trailer if she so scared in this wk ep ?

[snookie16]

I have to say Alison Mack but Erica Durance did a fab job too. I hope they don't get rid of Chloe this season because they are focusing on her edge that was sort of brought out in season 2-3 with her getting involved with Lionel Luthor so it does have me intrigued with Davis because it adds another layer.

I also have to say Erica Durance did a fab job too because it brought in the Iconic Lois and Clark/Superman in. The phonebooth scene was well done. Maybe I am saying this because I had some time before classes and went to the Barns and Noble bookstore on campus and looked through the graphic novel Superman: Birthright and got the nastalgic feeling. I was torn but I choose Alison Mack but Erica did a good job herself.

[Aloof]

Ahhh, both Erica and Allison were great!

[AgentChaos]

Allison was the best tonight. In the later scenes with both Lois and Clark, she perfectly captured Chloe trying to keep up the front that everything was fine, but starting to crack from the stress of dealing with Davis's situation.

[Night_Hawk90]

Jimmy Olsen was awesome!

[susangail]

Erica, followed closely by Tom.

[ChlarkerFan]

Normally I give it to Allison but she wasn't really in much of the episode so I'll give it to Erica this time. She did a great job as a hero! And Aaron would come in second. I missed him so much! We need more Jimmy next season! :)

[miks]

Allison of course, no one compares.

[aceofclubs]

I pick Tess, shes off doing something uber devious in offscreenville.

[clois-destiny-forever]

Erica was the best but Tom was right behind her. The two of them did a great job!

[zHeN_zHeN]

Erica
Tom
Allison
Aaron

[LoveHurts38]

The 3 #1 for me:
Lois, Clark, and Jimmy.

[EternalTwilight]

I think they all did a great job. Erica always amazes me and I voted for her because she pulled off Stiletto like a pro. Allison's emotional scenes really moved me. Seeing her on the verge of tears was heartbreaking. And, as much as I hate this drug addict Jimmy, I enjoyed watching it because of Aaron Ashmore's delivery. SV has a very talented cast.

[isagill chlark fan]

for me Allison she had very emotinal scenes she did an amzing job when she looked her hand with blood she was completely lost like saying what i am doing this girl is very talented.
erica would be the second she made me laugh a lot she is good with the comedy part

[IHeartClois]

Erica! She was so good tonight! Looked amazing in the superhero outfit and had some amazing scenes, she does the action scenes really well, loved it when she kicked that guy's ass, and jumping through the glass with the cape flying was too good!!

[friendsita]

Allison by far.

[jaksfreak91]

Erica!! But I have to admit everyone was great!!

[TopBanana]

As much as I loved everyone's performance, I've got to say Allison hands down. Her performance really made me feel for Chloe. The dumpster scene with her looking at her bloody hands and then breaking down gave me chills.

[-Nora-]

Erica simply because she just has a lot of range - funny in one minute and heartbreaking in the next.

Though I have to say that Allison was amazing as well. She really made me feel for Chloe.

[skylar]

Erica best actress
Tom best actor

[Mickey_Bickey]

I would say Erica, Tom and Aaron did the best jobs followed by Alison.

The scene where Clark took a bullet for Lois showed both Erica and Tom's wide range of emotions, and Aaron showed again his wide range tonight!

You could tell when his character was buying the drugs that he was somewhat disgusted with himself, but he obviously couldn't help it.

[costas22]

Just for her final scene outside the dumpster i would give it to Allison.

[Night_Hawk90]

no love for TW this episode? only 7 votes i thought he was actually very good

[Smallville Vamp]

Once again it was oh so close between Erica & Tom but I had to give it to ED for the scene Clark took the bullet for her. Very emotional acting on her part in that one and also AA was fantastic. Lately its becoming a really hard choice for me to pick the best performance when those three are involved in scenes together. Brilliant acting by all three that's for sure.

[mr lane]

Erica - She did great in all her scenes. Was able to pull off comedy and sadness. I like how one minute shes bashing a bouncer with her wit and then she's crying because Clark saved her life and I also enjoyed the talk she had with the RBB. By the radio interviews I've heard her do this week it was really hard for her to act in that outfit so props for that and props for making it look good =D

I think Allison and Tom are kind of tied for me. Allison did great at showing Chloe's despire at her apartment with Clark and in the alley while she threw away the body bags.

Tom for me did awesome as usual but to me there was only one scene that stood out and that's when he took the bullet for Lois while he had no powers oh and I also liked how he showed Clark seeing Lois in a different light during the RBB call.

[marcella]

Erica and Allison

[Diego*Chloe]

Allison hands down!!! followed very closeley by Erica ;)

[Autumn]

Allison really was the best last night. She pulled out all the stops.

[Jaderoyale]

I'm torn between Erica and Allison. Thats never happened before.

[individuall]

I'm torn between Erica and Allison. Thats never happened before.

Me too.

[Violet-Shadow]

Everyone was superb in Stiletto but I have to go with Aaron Ashmore for this one - pulling off dark Jimmy... Wow.

[justme_007]

Allison Mack was just great!!!!!!!!!! best actress of smallville!!! hurray for the leading female lady!

[BOUROUX]

Allison Mack was fabulous in this episode. Her facial expressions in her last scene were amazing.

[Most.Beautiful.Whisker]

I thought the scene where Clark gets shot and Lois is crying was really great on Erica's part. I was like, "Oh, geez, she's SO AMAZING!"

...And then that scene had to be immediately followed by Allison's crying scene, which was so dumb, because I don't think I've ever scene anyone deliver a heartbreaking scene the way Allison does. I mean, Erica is fantastic, but to have it be followed by Allison? It's just not fair.

[hero`s passion]

I expected that it would be Erica, but it was Tom for me, he was adorable in this epi:))) She was also great, but she can play better, as far as I saw earlier:)))) Allison was wonderful too, her acting was great in her short scenes- very good job of all the cast members:)

[Agent Addek]

Even though AM wasn't in the episode as much as the other characters she completely stole the episode. She was amazing. No one in this cast compares to her acting ability well except of course for SW.

She delivered her lines beautifully. Everything was so subtle but yet expressive which many actors can't pull off but she just has that natural ability in her craft.

So I would say:
1. AM
A distant 2nd
2. TW
and then
3. AA
and Erica is good at the broad comedy so
4. ED

[Reporter]

Even though AM wasn't in the episode as much as the other characters she completely stole the episode

ITA.

[wingster55]

So do I.
That scene with the dumpster and the last one with Clark where you can actually see the facade slowly slipping was amazing.
AM has acted the hell out of this season.

[SGuthrie27]

We saw an incredible set of performances tonight, especially from the ladies. I voted for Erica for once. After all, it was a Lois-themed episode, and she really brought some of her best stuff to the screen, in my humble opinion. Allison showed great emotional range and depth, though, so she would be a VERY close second. Both Aaron Ashmore and Tom Welling did a nice job as well. All in all, a good episode for all actors/actresses involved.

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[kal-el_Girl]

I voted for Tom, he did a great job during the phone booth scene, so touching!

[smallvillefreak24]

Allison tonight she worked it out!! she did so well!! i felt her crumbling

[RedKRules]

Allison of course, no one compares.

True:cool: second that :)

[abbaspice1]

Everyone did an amazing job!

But since my favorite two scenes involved ED, TW, AA (the iconic trio scene) and the second involved ED and TW (the phone booth scene), I pick both of them as a tie. But since ED is my fav, I voted for her in the poll.

[drvr8]

I loved Erica and Tom's scenes through the entire show, but I was really blown away by Allison's work this episode. There was so much turmoil going on in each of her scenes and trying to mask her own confusion and pain from people that love her was so heartbreaking. I think she was at the top of her game in the episode tonight and the script really gave her a lot to work with, but so much of what Allison did was with her eyes and showing us her character trying and succeeding in hiding her emotions from other people.
While my favorite scenes were the Clark/Lois ones they were beautiful and tender and really needed, I still had to vote for AM on this one. She's not my favorite, but her work this episode was so captivating, and AM pushed it to the limit and really nailed all of her scenes. I'm still irritated with her for directing that PoS episode too...that's how good her acting was!

[Tompouce]

Tom for sure, he was a pure delight but I have to say it is mostly because of this interaction between Lois and Clark we feel. It adds something in his character and it makes him look better than ever

[Kid Collins]

Allison Mack imho, all the pain and regret is written all over Chloe's eyes and face.

You can tell Chloe is waay in over her head and she doesn't know how to get out of it. And this time, she doesn't have Clark to back her up.

ED was also good with the comic timing that was needed for this ep.

But my vote goes to Allison Mack.

[Lori Lemaris]

Allison Mack, the best actor in the show.

She is doing a phenomenal job as the leading lady of show.

[lrog127]

I can't choose between erica or tom, so I'm not going to vote...:\
Tom should get more recognition. He's a fantastic actor!;)
