CAST...
Kristin Kreuk
Fast (and personal) facts...
Previous career ambitions: Forensic scientist
Music tastes: Listens to hip-hop, rap, and basically everything that does bear any sort of resemblance to heavy
metal
Traveling plans: Obsessed with Brazil; has a dream of backpacking through South America. Also loves to just relax
and chill out on a quiet, calm beach
Sports: Was a cheerleader in high school and did gymnastics beautifully
Off (and on) set hobbies: Loves reading and writing; loves painting, although she is really terrible at it =)
If she could have a superpower...: Flying
Even she's not perfect: Suprise... she's a klutz! She is always spilling water on herself at nice restaurants
and running into polls, kncking herself out! Who would have thought... although it is a relief to know that she is just one
of us!
Anti-cheerleader (?!): "Do we have boys prancing around in nothing?" :)
Smarts to social: Although she excelled on high school (parents Pete and Deanna are landscape architects, although
we are sure she is briliant all on her own), that did nothing to enhance her social life. "A lot of girls hated me," she says.
"I've kind of got an aloof, snotty nature sometimes."
Boring girl: "I don't get into trouble, because I never
do anything bad, and I never have. I'm pathetic, I don't even have any jokes to tell. Really, I'm boring." She can often be
found rereading Wuthering Heights, Anne of Green Gables and Little Women. Doesn't smoke, doesn't pick her cuticles, is intensely
aware of the color of her eyes ("hazel, dark-green outside, then light-green, then kind of a browny, yellowy, speckly inside").
She lives with her parents. Her mom once told her she had to take karate lessons to protect herself. She has never gotten
drunk.
No driver's liscense (?!): She has never driven a car,
believing that she will be a terrible driver. "It's going to be a disaster," she says softly. "I could very well kill somebody.
But I won't. I'll be careful. I'm very careful. Very cautious. I'm a very good girl. Oh, I'm amazingly boring."

Allison Mack
Fast (and personal) facts...
Sorry, guys... Engaged to a man named Peter, who belongs to a band called Leisure
Fave charity: Kids With a Cause
Personal trainer: Kirk Jakes (Training facility: The Action Room, in Vancouver)
Fave Ice Cream flavor: Ben & Jerry's Mint Biscuit- "It's so stinkin' good"
Dosen't like: Playing the "sexy" girl and photo shoots, because she hates when
people are staring at and really focusing on her
Other careers: Midwife or college/high school teacher
Puppy love: Allison's dog, Phantom, is a German Shepherd/Malamute
Quiet gatherings: Allison has never been one for big, extravagant parties
Curvy girls: Allison: "That's a huge, huge thing—a
huge step to take in this industry. Being curvy and voluptuous, and not being a twig. I had a lot of problems with it, when
I was younger, and just finally accepting yourself and having someone else that loves you for who you are and what you look
like really makes a difference. I mean, to come home every day to someone that says 'You're beautiful, and I like you the
way you are, so don't change it.' It makes a really big difference. And it was really important to me not to fall into
the mold of stick-thin, 'perfect' body girl, because that's not obtainable. That's not realistic. I wanted to represent something
that is realistic and is obtainable."
Being herself (on and off camera): "It's very important, because the industry
can eat you alive. I know from personal experience that you really can lose who you are and what's important. So you really
have to sit down and think about what's important to you. Think about what's going to keep you grounded and what's going to
keep you you. You get so many people who try to mold you into so many different things that you have to have a huge—cement.
Something in yourself that keeps you authentic. That keeps you real. That keeps you who you were before you became
successful. So I think that my personal life does that for me.
Started acting/theatre in...famed Los Angeles school Young Actors Space
Fave author: John Irving (especially likes The Cider House Rules
and The World According to Garp)
Fave bookstore: Chapters (The Barnes & Noble of Canada)
Fave clothing brands: Cutso
Tom Welling
Fast (and personal) facts...
Tom's explanation for the sucess of Smallville: "We've got a great cast. We've got a great storyline. We've got
stories to do every week. So it's a community effort there."
Dealing with chaos: "You become used to it, but a lot of is you have to just relax and calm down and take a deep
breath and try to see how you can make things work rather than complain about how they're wrong. That's what I try to do."
On fame: Fame? What is fame. I'm not sure what fame is. Fame may be attention. I guess that's all it really is,
attention. I'm separated from a lot of it, seeing how I'm up in Vancouver and I'm shooting all the time. It's something that's
out of my control. It's something I appreciate and that I respect, but it's not necessarily something that I concentrate on
or try to maintain.
The L.A. movie star party scene?: I'm never here. I'm never here. I'm here for the night. I flew in this morning.
That's not where my interests lie?
Where does he call home? To the IRS? It's funny. Right now I reside in Vancouver about nine months out of the
year. Last summer I was working on the film and then I spent some time with my family out east. Basically the answer would
be that I reside in Vancouver.
Make like Clark: Sure. Sure. Who wouldn't want to have the apartment in the city and the house out on a farm?
Everybody wants some space. I think there's almost a sense with a lot of attention coming in, that you almost need an escape
route. We all want some space. We all want some time on our own, and a lot of the time that means going outside of the hustle
and bustle.
What about football?: Now? I'm an actor. I'm kidding. My father played quite a bit and he didn't want
me to play growing up. I played soccer, baseball and basketball. I used to play football in the backyard with my brother and
his friends, but never on a team level.
Modeling: To me, it's not a very expressive job. It's really based solely on what's the outside. I didn't find
that it was fulfilling at all. I find acting to be much more fulfilling. You can be much more expressive and you can show
a lot more of who you are. At the end of the day I feel like I've created something.
Long distance relationships: Cell phones help. E-mail helps. You just try to stay in touch. You make your best
effort to see people when you can. Your expectations of people change and their expectations of you have to change as well.
You can't go from seeing your buddy every week to moving to Canada and not seeing him for three months and still expect the
same things from each other. You have to adjust.
And Mr. Reeve: It was great. I'll be going back (to NYC to shoot another episode with Reeve) for sure.
Married?: Yes I'm married. We met about five years ago. We were both in New York at about the same time. We got
married last September, not this past one.
How exactly did the stars of Smallville get their
roles? Find out here!
Tom:
"Actually, I went to the final screen test and on my way home I stopped at a gas station and I
called my manager to tell him how it went, because I don't have a cell phone or anything. So I'm at a pay phone. By the time
I called, they had already called him to tell him I had it. And so it was kind of like "Hey, the audition went well!" And
he goes, "Yeah, I know. You got it." I didn't believe it at first."
Kristin:
"One day some producers called my school. They were looking to cast
a teen soap [Edgemont] and my teacher suggested I go to the audition. I wound up getting the part and everything has just
fallen in to place since then."
Allison:
"Chloe was supposed to be ethnic originally. So, I walked into the room on my first audition,
and thought 'Okay. I think I'm probably in the wrong room,' because I was the only white girl in the room. I read for the
part and they didn't ask me back, obviously, because I was the wrong look. Then they couldn't find anybody that they wanted
for the character, and they found Sam [Jones III] for Pete and fell in love with him, so they came back and said 'Hey, do
you want to come back and read again?' "I had actually planned to go to Santa Barbara with my boyfriend, and so I kind of
went 'Ah, no, it's okay. I'm going to Santa Barbara with my boyfriend, and I don't want to interrupt my vacation...' And my
agent called me and told me "Allison? You have to go back on that audition. You have no idea how big this series
is.' So I said "Oh! Okay," and I went back, and four days later had the part."
