Biography:

Karl Urban is best known for his dynamic role as Rohan warrior Eomer in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Director Peter Jackson cast Urban in The Lord of the Rings after viewing a rough cut of The Price of Milk (2000), which garnered the handsome young actor a Best Actor nomination at the New Zealand Film Awards.

Born in Wellington, New Zealand, Urban first appeared on television as a child. Throughout his school years, he wrote, directed and starred in many films and stage productions. As a young adult, he postponed his university studies to further pursue his acting career, training and working in theater and film.

Urban made his feature film debut in Heaven (1998). His other film credits include Via Satellite (1998) and Ghost Ship (2002), in which he starred opposite Gabriel Byrne and Julianna Margulies. He next starred as Lord Vaako opposite Vin Diesel in the science fiction action-adventure The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) and as Kirill opposite Matt Damon in the espionage thriller The Bourne Supremacy (2004).
