Childhood & Early Life

Kristin Laura Kreuk was born on December 30, 1982, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Her parents, Peter Kreuk and Deanna Che, are both landscape architects by profession. She has Dutch and Chinese ancestry. She has a younger sister named Justine Kreuk.

She trained in karate and gymnastics when she was in middle school but later dropped once she entered her high school days as she suffered from scoliosis. She wanted to pursue a major in psychology or forensic science from the Simon Fraser University but a call from the casting director for the CBC television series ‘Edgemont’ changed her mind and paved the way for an altogether different career path.

Television Career

Kristin Kreuk started her full-fledged acting career on television by appearing in the CBC television series ‘Edgemont’ in 2001. After completing her shooting for the first season of the show, she hired an agent for herself who helped her get a role in the television movie ‘Snow White: The Fairest of Them All’. The movie was aired on ABC in 2001 and was also released on DVDs.

After the success of her first two works in the show business, she was signed for the role of ‘Tenar’ in the Sci-Fi Channel miniseries ‘Legend of Earthsea’ in 2004.

Her agent then contacted screenwriters Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and she eventually got a chance to audition for the character of ‘Lana Lang´ in the WB Network series ‘Smallville’ which she successfully bagged.

She kept juggling her work between ‘Edgemont’ and ‘Smallville’ before her stint with ‘Edgemont’ ended in 2005. Three years later in 2008, she left ‘Smallville’ after appearing for the first seven seasons.

After the success of these television series, Kreuk did a number of shows like ‘Chuck’ and the television movie ‘Ben Hur’ between 2009 and 2010. Later she was signed for The CW's reboot of ‘Beauty & the Beast’, where she played the role of the lead female character. She appeared on the show between 2012 and 2016, as the show ended in its fourth season that year.

Film Career

Despite being an accomplished TV actress, Kristin Kreuk did not enjoy the same good fortune in her film career in which she made her debut in 2004. She starred in the film ‘Eurotrip’, playing the role of ‘Fiona’, the love interest of the male protagonist played by Matt Damon.

She then appeared in the film ‘Partition’ based on the historical events of the ‘Partition of India in 1947. She played the role of ‘Naseem’ who witnesses her world crumbling under the traumatic circumstances and falls in love with an ex-British Indian Army officer. She also starred in films like ‘Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li’ in 2009, ‘Vampire’ in 2011, ‘Irvine Welsh's Ecstasy’ in 2011 and ‘Space Milkshake’ in 2012.

Kreuk set up her own production house named ‘Parvati Creative Inc’ along with her friend Rosena Bhura who she had met on the sets of ‘Partition.’ According to Kreuk and her partner, their production house works on “human-centric films as seen through a female lens”. Till date, there have been two projects under the newly-formed production house, the short film ‘Blink, directed by Rick Rosenthal and the comedy web series titled ‘Queenie’.

Major Works

In 2001, Kristin Kreuk landed a role in the WB Network series titled ‘Smallville’, thanks to her agent who sent her audition tapes to Alfred Gough and Miles Millar who were the screenwriters of the show. She appeared regularly for seven seasons, playing Lana Lang, the love interest of teenager ‘Clark Kent’ prior to his becoming Superman. She was paid $40,000 per episode until the third season and after that, a hefty $270,000 per episode until the end of her stint with the show.

Awards & Achievements

Kristin Kreuk won the ‘Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Actress’ award at the ‘People's Choice Awards’ in 2014 and 2015 for her role in ‘Beauty & the Beast’. She was also nominated for ‘Choice TV Actress: Fantasy/Sci-Fi’ award at the ‘Teen Choice Awards’ twice for the same role.

She won a total of nine nominations in various award shows for her work in ‘Smallville’, including ‘Saturn Awards’ and ‘Teen Choice Awards.’

Personal Life

Kristin Laura Kreuk leads a very private life and likes spending time with her family and friends. She has been in a relationship with actor Mark Hildreth for a long time and currently resides in Toronto. She admits to being a “shy” person who likes to live a “boring life”.
