    I worked on more than one low/no budget project where Karl Urban worked for minimum rate. It would have been after Xena before Lord of the Rings hit theater. He seems to love genre movies so did anything but it also seemed like he did it because he wanted to help people get traction in the business. On set he was very easy going and no fuss. He created a lot of good will in the industry. I am not surprised by his success.

    It's rare I get to say this, but I was pretty early on Karl Urban. First saw him as a kid in the Hercules/Xena roles (not that I picked him out at the time), but it was Lord of the Rings where I took note of him. Kept on eye on him ever since and he is the lone reason I am tempted to watch The Boys. Karl Urban is just that good, he can sell a show by himself.

I'm glad he is getting the recognition he deserves.

  • @JdeeGeekyGao

    Karl came to one of the cons in my city it was the first con in the new convention centre after our EQ's. He sat there and gave us a heart warming speech about how he proud he was of a NZ community pulling together to support each other and help our neighbors. He said that seeing something like the aftermath on the news of a city in his country going through that was heart breaking and sad but that we made him proud seeing the strength we showed after. It was surreal for me because I watched him on Shortland street, Hercules, Xena those were all on screen for me when I was a kid and I am so glad he is getting the recognition he deserves finally. Man is a true gem.
