Starfest 2006 Karl Urban

Karl Urban
In the new 20th Century Fox film Pathfinder, Karl Urban stars as the lead character, Ghost. The film is the story of a brave young man who avenges his family's murder and saves a village from a group of barbaric warriors.

Karl is no stranger to action films.

His breakthrough role was as Eomer in the Lord of the Rings series. It is reported that he mastered one-handed horseback riding for that part and tackles all of his acting assignments with the same vigor.

The New Zealander's genre credits are impressive and memorable: In Doom he starred as John Grimm. In The Bourne Supremacy he played Kirill the Russian playboy assassin, In The Chronicles of Riddick, he played a cat and mouse game with Vin Diesel's character as they both attempted to take the throne occupied by Lord Marshal. In the last two of The Lord of the Rings movies, he was Eomer, the nephew of King Theoden and one of Rohan's mightiest warriors and fine horsemen. He appeared repeatedly in Xena: The Warrior Princess and Hercules: The Legendary Journeys as Julius Ceasar, Kor, and Cupid. Like that last mentioned character, he will no-doubt shoot an arrow through the heart of many a young admirer at Starfest.

Karl Urban is appearing at Starfest on Saturday, April 22nd as part of the 20th Century Fox presentation for the movie Pathfinder. We will not know until the day of the show if he will be available for autographs or photos. Consult the Main Events Room Schedule for the most up-to-date details concerning the presentation times and content.
