    Up, Up And Away…
    HNR Chats With Kristin Kreuk

    By Robert Falconer, HNR Senior Editor



    There’s no question about it: Kristin Kreuk’s career is taking off, even though “stardom” is a moniker with which the young actress is not completely comfortable.

    For the 23-year-old Kreuk, whose Smallville character of Lana Lang began as a study in the bucolic motif—a Norman Rockwell vision of Kansas come to life in the form of the girl next door—opportunity seemed almost inevitable from the beginning. Uniquely beautiful; possessed of both intelligence and innate acting ability, Kreuk seems almost born for the world of film, even if she’s not quite certain she wants to devote her entire life to it. And in a business that all too often seems to eviscerate young actors, her measured approach seems healthy.

    Admittedly, it’s a trite cliché to call acting a tough business. But with something less than seven percent of all actors in Hollywood actually making a living as full time thespians, I’ll risk sounding redundant and stress the point: acting is a tough business.


    More so if you live in Vancouver, where despite a vigorous film industry, opportunities are rather finite..

    That’s the rule. Then there’s the exception…and the exceptional. Kreuk’s caution notwithstanding, her aforementioned beauty, smarts and talent have helped propel her into the front ranks of today’s young actors, opening doors that most only dream about.

    The whole thing began quite unexpectedly. Born and raised here in Vancouver, destiny called in 2000—Kreuk’s senior year of high school—when the casting director of the fledgling CBC TV series, Edgemont began faxing local schools seeking an exotic-looking girl to play the part of “Laurel.” With only her Eric Hamber high school acting experience behind her, Kreuk nevertheless auditioned and won the part.

    The Edgemont role opened the door to the producers of Smallville, who quickly identified her as their ideal Lana Lang. It’s been a “meteoric” (pun intended) rise to the top ever since.

    As many of you probably already know, when Smallville finishes season four this spring, Kreuk will spend her hiatus alongside Jimi Mistry filming Partition, an epic romance set in India during the last days of the British Empire—a time of political and religious upheaval. Kreuk will play a 17-year-old who is traumatized by the events that separate her from her family as India is divided into two countries.

    It’s a serious and dramatically demanding role, but until then, she continues to focus on her duties with Smallville. We caught up with Kristin just before it was announced that she would appear in Partition and chatted briefly with her about Smallville and acting in general…

    Robert: Looking back over the past four seasons of Smallville, is there a favorite episode that stands out in your mind?

    Kristin Kreuk: It’s hard to answer that after almost four years. I like a lot of the Lex-centric episodes. I think Michael [Rosenbaum] did a great job with “Shattered” the year before last. It was great for the show, for his character, and I’d definitely have to rank that among my favorites.
