| Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang) |
"In real life, I could go out with any of the guys on Smallville.
Clark would be a great boyfriend because he is so loyal and generous. Lex is very sexy. You know, that dark, evil thing is
always attractive. And Pete is just plain funny. A lot of girls, including me, like funny."
Kristin Kreuk was born on December 30, 1982 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. She had her first shot at Hollywood
during her senior year in high school, when she landed the role of Laurel in the CBS series Edgemont. Along with
Smallville and Edgemont, Kristin can also be seen in Snow White: The Fairest of Them All and on
Neutragena commercials. She also appears in the new mini-series, Earthsea, on the SciFi channel.
Kristin
went to college for forensic pathology before she became a serious actress. "I wanted to be a forensic scientist," she laughs.
"I was interested in the problem solving aspect to it. That you could go to a crime scene and find out how someone got into
a house. Or how someone was killed. I thought it was an interesting field and I still do."
Kristin still resides in
Vancouver with her family, which includes her Chinese mother and Dutch father. When she is not filming, Kristin enjoys reading,
traveling, gymnastics, writing, dancing and spending time with friends and family. Her two favorite colors are purple and
yellow, and she has a close-knit group of friends that she really values. Kristin is... suprise!... into hip-hop! "I'm into
all types of music actually," she admits. "I go through phases, but I do enjoy The Roots and A Tribe Called Quest. My music
collection is very eclectic."

| Jonh Glover (Lionel Luthor) |

became a clown. That was a part of my defense."

in Salisbury, Maryland. For ten long years Glover worked off-Broadway before Jane Fonda's notorious slap in Julia caused

| Sam Jones III (Pete Ross) |
"People recognize me a lot now and ask for autographs and
pictures. They always have positive things to say."

series. His role as Clark Kent’s (Tom Welling) best friend Pete in the new action-adventure drama "Smallville" marks
his series-starring debut.
Growing up in Boston, Mass., Jones acted in local commercials. After spending a summer vacation with a friend living in
Los Angeles, he caught the showbiz bug and decided to pursue a career in acting. Soon after he graduated from high school,
Jones moved to Hollywood to follow his dream.
His first job was a memorable guest-starring role on "NYPD Blue" in which he portrayed a troubled teen who stole a gun
and hid it in his daughter’s crib. From there, his career began to grow. His credits include an emotionally charged
recurring role on "C.S.I." He also guest-starred on "Judging Amy" as a sexually abused teen who gets mixed up in a drive-by

"The loyal Whitney fans out there, they have a special
place in my heart. They saw his true colors when no one else would."
Eric Johnson is from a suburb of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada,
where he was born Eric Johann Johnson on August 7, 1979, the younger of two sons. He enrolled in theatre school at the
tender age of 9, where he found the work daunting but rewarding.
Eric has had an active career in Canada that spans over a decade. Eric's
most high-profile role to American audiences (before Smallville) was playing "teen Tristan," the younger counterpart
to Brad Pitt in the film Legends of the Fall. After that, however, he went through a growth spurt that left him at
6'1" at 15 years of age (he'd grow another inch over the next few years) so he had a difficult time landing roles between
1995 and 1997. He didn't let this discourage him, though, and he kept auditioning, landing a few TV commercials and
little else during those lean years.
However, once he turned 18, he began landing role after role in Canadian
and American productions, both on the small and silver screen, and he hasn't slowed down since. In 1998 Eric displayed
an integrity and determination rarely seen in young actors today by turning down a three-year contract in New York City for
a role on a major network soap opera. He's said he knew better things would come his way - and he was right.
On August 7, 2004, Eric's 25th birthday, he married his longtime ladylove,
Canadian writer/ producer Adria Budd, whom he met while she worked as Annette O'Toole's personal assistant on Smallville.
The two are planning several professional corroborations in the near future.
Eric enjoys playing guitar, photography, painting, kayaking, camping
and playing basketball, football and baseball. He is an avid musician, and enjoys jamming with his older brother, who is also
musically inclined.
