Karl Urban, displaying the later mentioned
Fanservice.
Karl-Heinz Urban (b. 1972) is an actor from
New Zealand. He started off in soaps and small-time TV dramas, worked his way up to
Xena: Warrior Princess and local film productions, and now co-stars in Hollywood blockbusters with macho men like
Bruce Willis. Probably best known for playing
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy in the 2009
Star Trek film, Eomer in
The Lord of the Rings, and being '
hey, that guy, what's his name again?' in over nine thousand of the genre movies you've seen.
This actor and his roles provide examples of:
- Adorkable
- Deadpan Snarker: McCoy
- Even the Guys Want Him
Chris Pine: Yeah, I have a man-crush on Karl, what can I tell you.
- Fanservice: He once stuck a microphone in his mouth at a Q&A.
- Fascinating Eyebrow: A notable quirk of McCoy which Urban actually possessed in real life before taking on the role.
- Hazel Eyes
- He Really Can Act: When you tear him away from projects full of monsters and bad special effects.
- Ho Yay
- One of Us: Urban is a longtime fan of Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Judge Dredd, video games and Dungeons & Dragons.
- Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping
- Playing Against Type: Known mostly for action roles, his casting as the comedic and non-combative Bones in Star Trek was met with a resounding 'wtf?'
- Promoted Fanboy
- Sarcastic Devotee: McCoy is devoted to Kirk, yet never stops complaining about everything he does.
- Shirtless Scene: Pathfinder
And in real life, he always seems to have a few extra buttons undone on his shirt.
