Every Tuesday night for like 8 years, my brother and I would tune into Smallville.
For two very different reasons.
My brother was obsessed with Superman, the ethos, and anything associated with the Man of Steel.
I was equally obsessed.
With Kristin Kreuk (aka Lana Lang).
Kreuk had a soft, graceful beauty that I had never seen before. She had a calm on-screen presence, and she made me feel like, no matter what happens to Supes, I was going to be okay.
Wanna know something even softer? I cried one night when I realized Kreuk and I would never marry. She was a big-time actress, I was a dishwasher at an Irish pub… It’d never work out.
As I continued scrubbing dishes in the kitchen for like $8 an hour, Kreuk continued through on Smallville, appeared in EuroTrip, the TV show Edgemont, magazines, and hasn’t answered a single of my messages on MySpace.
So where’d she go? Did she burn out? Did Hollywood lose interest? Did she just wake up one day and decide she was done?
Kind of the opposite, actually.
Here’s what Kristin Kreuk has been up to…
