Kristin Kreuk's Biography
Kristin Kreuk was born on December 30, 1982 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada to a Dutch father and a Chinese mother. This Eurasian mix is what gave Kristin her exotic look that has helped advance her career so quickly. She attended and graduated from Eric Hamber High School and although she did spend time in the drama program doing stage work in school, she was more focused on her studies and future career. She has been known to describe herself as shy and boring.
For her first professional work, she went to an open casting audition for Edgemont, a teen-drama series aired on CBC television in Canada. She had really no plans of pursing acting professionally but her high school was sent a fax for an open call for “exotic looking” girls to play a part in a new television show. She plays the role of Laurel Yeung a young Toronto urbanite. Laurel was the very last main character to be cast because the casting director was having a real problem finding an actress who fit the unique look they were looking for. Fortunately for them (and us), they found Kristin in the nick of time.
Her career was set to skyrocket off when she landed a choice lead role on the highly acclaimed WB television series, Smallville. It follows the story of a teenaged Clark Kent in his pre-Superman days in a small town of Smallville, Kansas. Kristin plays the role of Lana Lang, the popular girl at school and Clark Kent’s object of desire before he meets and falls for Lois Lane.
Smallville proved to be a giant step for Kristin’s acting career, as she landed several interviews with several magazines, including YM (Your Magazine) and Rolling Stone. She also did a commercial for Neutrogena, popular for its skin care products. She also played a role in the mini-series Earthsea and has played parts in several movies with a few more on the horizon.
As Kristin continues her career in the entertainment industry, it is just a matter of time before she becomes a superstar as she has natural talents and diligence.
