Kristin Kreuk: 'Beauty & the Beast' Finds Its Male Lead

Kristin Kreuk walks around the set of her new pilot, Beauty and the Beast, on Friday (March 23) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The 29-year-old actress will be playing the female lead, Catherine, in CW’s reboot of the ’80s series, which aired on CBS.

Terra Nova actor Jay Ryan has been cast as Vincent Koslow, “the victim of a military experiment gone horribly wrong [who] now looks like a monster,” according to Zap2It.

Kristin‘s character saw her mother get murdered nine years ago “but remembers that the murderer was killed by a beast quickly after.”
