Kristin Kreuk Biography
Birth Name - Kristin Laura Kreuk
Date of Birth - 30 December 1982
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Height - 5' 1" (1.55 m)
Born and raised in Vancouver B.C., Kristin never thought she'd be going big time. She acted in several school plays but mostly focused on her schoolwork. 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, she became the newest spokesperson for Neutrogena and started an advertising campaign with them.
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.

Personal quotes from Kristin Kreuk
"Sometimes I love acting but then sometimes I think it's too much for me. And I don't know if it is something that I could do for the rest of my life."
On keeping herself looking beautiful: "My skin is a little sensitive, so I try not to use too many products. After work I'll just clean it with Neutrogena Deep Clean facial cleanser and put on a bit of lotion like Aveda Tourmaline Charged Hydrating Creme or a moisturizer by Kiehl's. I don't always use the same one. After a while my skin starts to get annoyed with one, and then I've got to move on to another."
"I'm not surrounded by the business. That makes all the difference in the world, 'cause it's so easy to get caught up in it. If you were living in L.A., it'd be like 'Bull----, bull----, bull----... you're this, you're that, you're wonderful, get caught up in this tornado, get caught up, get caught up, get caught up, and the minute it's all gone, you fall and you've got no one to catch you because you let yourself get swept away, when it's all 'Pouff!' And it's all made up and none of it's grounded or real."
"Someday I'd like to do some real traveling. I'm obsessed with Brazil and I've always had this dream of backpacking through South America."
"I never dreamed of being an actor, but I'm beginning to love it more and more because I like challenging myself. When I feel like I'm not learning or having fun anymore, then I'll stop."
"Just because I don't do bad things doesn't mean I don't have bad thoughts."
"I really don't use that much make up - I'm pretty natural. I wear even less of it in the summer."
"I love having messy hair. I put in a lot of effort to have it look as messy as possible."
"Sometimes I love acting, but then sometimes I think it's too much for me. And I don't know if it is something that I could do for the rest of my life."
"I wanted to be a forensic scientist for a long time... It's like putting the pieces of a puzzle together. Solving mysteries seemed like it would be fun, scary and exciting all at the same time."
"I'd rather walk than drive a car. In Vancouver, where I am from, you can get to just about anywhere you need to go on foot. Even if it's raining I'll go out for a stroll. I just love that."
"It's not that easy to find someone I can relate too. I'm tough to crack because I'm shy."
On her favourite music styles: "Basically I listen to just about everything except heavy metal."
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."
"If I like it, I'll buy it; pure impulse shopping."
"I did gymnastics when I was growing up and to this day I can still do the splits."
