Kristin Kreuk: Summary

Recent Role:: Lana Lang on Smallville

Gender:: Female

Birthday:: 12-30-1982

Birthplace:: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Birth Name:: Kristin Laura Kreuk

AKA:: Kristen Kreuk, 234, Kristin Kruek

Born and raised in Vancouver, Kristin never thought she would be going big time. She acted in several school plays but mostly focused on her schoolwork. Kristin attended Eric Hamber High School. She never planned on becoming an actress and was planning to go to the Simon Fraser University for psychology or environmental studies.

Fate came calling her senior year of high school when the casting director of a new TV series, Edgemont (2000), sent a fax to her school. They wanted an exotic-looking girl to play the part of Laurel. It was her first professional audition and she landed the part. Since then, she continues to star in the Canadian series while filming Smallville (2001). Lucky for her, both shows are filmed in Vancouver.

In 2002, Kristin became the newest spokesperson for Neutrogena and started an advertising campaign with them. In early 2005, she renewed her contract for an additional two years, making her the longest-running spokesperson in the company's history.

Kristin has a tight knit group of friends, and, in her spare time, enjoys spending time with them and reading. Because it rains so much in Vancouver, she and her Smallville (2001) co-star Allison Mack often swap books or have a Woody Allen marathon.

Mediocre ?! Are you kidding me ? :P Kristen is fabulous ! A. She's sexy. B.She's hoooot !!!! C. She's talented. In the first three seasons of Smallville she looked kind of LAZY and boring but it's the beggining of the fourth season which started to show off her acting abilities and I think she has alot of potential to have her own show even though Smallville was like it was her own show. I think she's very underrated as an actress and I would love to see more of her. She has this " Good girl " look going. I love her !

She's one of the best tv actress i had ever seen, even when her character in Smallville as Lana was so boring, she make her best effort to make it better. In season 7 she was great like a bad girl. I always thought that she deserves better. She not only a pretty face... I hope her character as Chun-Li on Street Fighter, don't destroy her career.

Kristin Kreuk is a very talented actress. I wont say that she is amazingly talented, because there are times in which i think she could have had a stronger performance. But those times only happen every once in a while. She has played a variety of emotions on the show, and has played them so well. Anger, see "Nemesis", love, see "Phantom", shock, see "Phantom", Courage, see "Zod", and a variety of others. She has truely made a hit on Smallville, and will continue, even though she will only appear in six or seven episodes this season. But i really cant wait to see more of her in the future.
