Karl Urban is a New Zealand actor, best known for his performance in ‘Star Trek’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ series. A talented kid right from the start, Urban had an affinity for acting from his childhood. He imbibed the love for cinema from his mother who exposed him to classic films of New Zealand. After making his first ever appearance in an episode of ‘Pioneer Woman’ at the age of eight, Karl Urban took a hiatus to complete his schooling. Meanwhile, he performed in school productions. While television series ‘Hercules: The Legend’ marked the start of his acting career, it was ‘Ghost Ship’ that helped Urban take the leap into Hollywood.
