‘Smallville’ star Cassidy Freeman, who played Tess Mercer in two seasons of the CW’s Superboy Saga, has been cast in NBC’s The Playboy Club’. Joining series regulars Randy Steinmeyer, Eddie Cibrian and David Krumholtz, Freeman will play “a Chicago socialite who begins a for-show-only relationship with Nick Dalton,” per TV Line<\/a>. Freeman seems to have a penchant for playing villainous characters, making this role right up her alley. The actress, who is also part of the pilot series Longmire, will show up in the third episode of ‘The Playboy Club’ which premieres on NBC September 19th at 10pm est. Get the full official synopsis from NBC below.<\/p>\n

“Step inside the seductive world of the Bunny, the epitome of beauty and service, and rub shoulders with the decade’s biggest mobsters, politicos and entertainers (like Tina Turner and Sammy Davis, Jr.) With all these larger than life ambitions, there are even greater secrets. Like when innocent new Bunny Maureen – who wants to take the world by storm – accidentally kills one of the Windy City’s most powerful mafia bosses… and the only person capable of covering it up and protecting her is Nick Dalton, a man who once worked for the mob but is about to run for district attorney. Bunny Alice is married but hiding an explosive personal life while Bunny Janie is running from a past that threatens to catch up with her. It seems everyone has a secret – none more so than Maureen, who may not even be the innocent orphan she appears to be. Thank goodness Hef’s Playboy Mansion is open after hours for a little R&R… and burying your past.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
