Kristin Kreuk was born on December 30, 1982 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. She attended and graduated from Eric Hamber High School. Although she did some stage work in school, she focused more on her studies. She described 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 plays the role of Laurel Yeung. Laurel was the last main character to be cast because the casting director was having a problem finding an actress. Fortunately for them (and us), they found Kristin just in time.
Her career is set to take off when she landed on the highly acclaimed WB television series, Smallville. It follows the story of Clark Kent in his pre-Superman days in a small town of Smallville, Kansas. Kristin plays the role of Lana Lang, Clark Kent's object of desire before he meets 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.
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.
