@@harlanhardway5955 It is probably due to time constraints, either Karl Urban only had so much time to interview, or they did ask him about it and cut it out to keep the video at 20 minutes. Seems to be a recurring thing in these videos, missing major roles and hearing about it in comment sections. I would easily watch an hour of this lol.

Dredd is hands down one of my favorite movies he's done and I would love to see another get made!

Cupid was the character that put Karl on my radar. "You are so close to being cool!" is still memorable after so many years.

My favorite thing about Karl urban is how different he looks in all his stuff for me it’s hard to tell when it’s him I just see the character

Same, I've watched the Bourne Supremacy and Thor: Ragnarok and I honestly did not know they were both him. It's not that I recognised him at the time. I only really started paying attention after watching him in 'The Boys'. When I went back expecting some semblance of his previous characters looking like Butcher, I was so surprised. None of his characters look similar to each other at all.

His respectful take on Bones was just so wonderful. For those of us who grew up on TOS, Bones was the character that was there to represent us. Just a guy who would just as soon be treating people in some little office in po-dunk Georgia who somehow ended up in space. He was our eyes and ears.

Karl Urban is one of the most versatile actors ever. All his roles I hardly notice it's Karl because it's like a disguise. He works the character and the transformation into the character so well I just never realize it's Karl in that part until I find out later. He's such a chameleon.

how the same actor can play Butcher, Eomer, Dredd and Bones is crazy testament to his acting skills.

YES!!! He discussed Xena. First show I watched him. His take on Julius was SO GOOD!!! His death scene is my favourite Julius death scene, he doesn't go down wallowing, he glares and almost sneers. Love Karl Urban's depiction.

I'm one of the dozen people worldwide who actually enjoy this film. :) It's a fun watch. Is it high cinema? Nope! But it's fun. I have it on DVD, watch it maybe once a year. It's not based off the DOOM game I played, but it's still amusing.

Met Karl at a New Order concert in Toronto. He was by himself. Not a fanboy but felt compelled to go up to him and tell him I was a fan ever since his Bourne film. He had a good energy about himself, seems like a cool dude.

i live in canada, i never got any chance to meet him, but i love his presence in a movie... Lord of the rings and and dredd were WOW

one of the few actors/actresses that I can honestly say that I absolutely love every one of his roles......

He played John Kennex in the criminally short-lived Almost Human, and it was an incredible show that was robbed of more seasons

@@thespicemelange.1 Doom was awful, but he sure did the best he could with what he was given. He is by far the best part of the movie.

With the exception of The Boys, where he looks like himself, I never recognize Karl Urban when I watch movies and he is playing a role. Usually my partner has to say that's Karl Urban and I squint my eyes and go, OMG that is Karl Urban! I think that says so much about his ability to immerse himself in the role so utterly that he becomes the character. It's uncanny. Great actor and I look forward to not recognizing him in many future movies.

20:20 The chasing scenes in the "Bourne Saga" are just great, this one in particular.

Having just started watching The Boys, I never realized how many roles Karl has portrayed. Bones was the stunner.

I’m SO thrilled we got a Dredd who actually was raised with and loved the material. I hope one day we do get to visit these stories again, too - with Karl Urban in the helmet!
