It’s hard to imagine a cooler actor than Karl Urban. He makes one hell of an action star, with films like THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY, RED and his latest PRIEST. In fact, with any role, he manages to make his characters easy to root for, whether he is the good guy or not.
In Priest, he plays Black Hat, and he certainly seems to be having a great time as he takes advantage of playing a true villain. When I spoke to him, we talked about the characters influences and of course, he mentions another couple of films he has coming out called DREDD and that new STAR TREK flick.

Urban is a thrill to watch in Priest, which opens this Friday at a theatre near you.
