Is Allison Mack showing ‘playful creativity’ under Raniere, or is she a has-been?

———-
Can anybody say if Allison Mack’s career has improved since taking the Source? or since meeting Keith Raniere?
She writes “my career has turned from one of insecure self-doubt to playful creativity” since taking The Source course.
But is the truth that her career has turned from a secure and promising one of actually working to one of a delusional plaything in Raniere’s dreamscape? One where she is now a has-been?
If other actors and would be actors follow her advice [and follow Raniere] and take The Source what will happen to them?
What is the before [Raniere] and after [Raniere] accomplishments of Allison Mack?
Her IMBD bio lists all her major accomplishments; all of them are pre Raniere.

Here it is:

Mack was born in Germany but moved with her family to Long Beach, California, when she was 2. She began acting at 4 with print work and commercials, and began studying at The Young Actors Space in Los Angeles when she was 7. She is still currently attending classes there in improvisation and scene study. Before joining the cast of Smallville(2001), Allison starred in the short-lived and sorely under-rated Fox television comedyOpposite Sex (2000). Prior to that, she was a regular on Hiller and Diller (1997), working alongside great talents such as Richard Lewis, Kevin Nealon, and Eugene Levy. Allison has also guest-starred in the WB family drama 7th Heaven (1996) as a teenager caught up in the “cutting” trend.

Mack has starred in many movies for television, including the cable film My Horrible Year!(2001), which was directed by Eric Stoltz and starring Karen Allen, Mimi Rogers, and Stoltz himself. She was also in A Private Matter (1992) with Sissy Spacek and Aidan Quinn, Living a Lie (1991) with Peter Coyote and Jill Eikenberry, Unlikely Angel (1996) with Dolly Parton and Roddy McDowall, and Stolen Memories: Secrets from the Rose Garden (1996) starring Mary Tyler Moore and Linda Lavin. Allison is also an accomplished dancer and singer and she currently living in Los Angeles. She enjoys reading, going to movies and plays and spending time with her friends and family.

Her work since becoming a disciple of Raniere seems to be limited to a few guest/supporting appearances on a few TV shows.

She has 6 credits in 2015; 1 credit in 2014, none in 2013, 7 in 2011…. That’s not much for a graduate of The Source and an acolyte of the master [liar?] Keith Raniere.

About the Author

Frank Parlato is an investigative journalist.

His work has been cited in hundreds of news outlets, like The New York Times, The Daily Mail, VICE News, CBS News, Fox News, New York Post, New York Daily News, Oxygen, Rolling Stone, People Magazine, The Sun, The Times of London, CBS Inside Edition, among many others in all five continents.

His work to expose and take down NXIVM is featured in books like “Captive” by Catherine Oxenberg, “Scarred” by Sarah Edmonson, “The Program” by Toni Natalie, and “NXIVM. La Secta Que Sedujo al Poder en México” by Juan Alberto Vasquez.

Parlato has been prominently featured on HBO’s docuseries “The Vow” and was the lead investigator and coordinating producer for Investigation Discovery’s “The Lost Women of NXIVM.” In addition, he was credited in the Starz docuseries 'Seduced' for saving 'slave' women from being branded and escaping the sex-slave cult known as DOS.

Parlato appeared on the Nancy Grace Show, Beyond the Headlines with Gretchen Carlson, Dr. Oz, American Greed, Dateline NBC, and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, where Parlato conducted the first-ever interview with Keith Raniere after his arrest. This was ironic, as many credit Parlato as one of the primary architects of his arrest and the cratering of the cult he founded.

Parlato is a consulting producer and appears in TNT's The Heiress and the Sex Cult, which premieres on May 22, 2022.
