THE BOYS (2019) / 8.7

This Amazon breakout hit put Karl Urban in the shoes of Billy Butcher, an every-man with a serious chip on his shoulder, and a hatred of superheroes. His blunt demeanor, filthy mouth and ruthless pursuit of his goals made him a scene-stealer.

Here’s to hoping that Urban’s character is expanded even further in the upcoming second season of the show, but his first outing has made Urban a household favorite, as well as a silver screen icon.

THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK (2004) / 6.7

Urban was fresh out of Lord Of The Rings when his Hollywood career took him towards David Twohy’s Pitch Black universe. The sequel The Chronicles Of Riddick was a massive creative and narrative detour from the original, showcasing Urban as Vaako, a high-ranking member of the Necromonger army.

Urban played the character as a schemer, manipulated by his lover Dame into a plot which ends up backfiring in his face. Urban reprised his role for the sequel Riddick, leaving the character’s fate uncertain. It remains to be seen if he’ll return for the next Pitch Black film.

THE BOURNE SUPREMACY (2004) / 7.7

The Bourne films remain one of the most exciting and engaging action/espionage franchises in history, and the second film built upon the strengths of the first by adding Karl Urban into the mix as FSS killer Kirill. His character makes the unfortunate mistake of killing Jason Bourne’s lover during a car chase.

Urban’s performance as the rugged killer was chilling, singular and focused, proving the actor could play both hero and villain alike, with total ease.

I did a little theatre work after that and the following year I got another part in a television series. Then it was almost to the end of the year before I got more work. That was coming to terms with the reality of the vocation I had chosen.” – Karl Urban

“I am in awe, in admiration of the man who Gaius Julius Caesar was. I don’t actually do him as the man himself. He is maybe a distant relative. It’s hard to approach the real man because he is such an awesome icon.” – Karl Urban 

“That’s always an interesting concept when you try to make your dream into a reality and you come up against the facts of exactly what it is you’re attempting to do.” – Karl Urban

“I decided to have a regular childhood and not pursue [acting] until I left school, although I wrote plays, directed plays, and got involved in theatre at school. When I left school I decided that’s that I was going to pursue and gave it a crack.” – Karl Urban 

Great Lessons from Karl Urban

Now that you know all about Karl Urban’s net worth, and how he achieved success; let’s take a look at some of the best lessons we can learn from him:

 Keep Your Motivation High

When your motivation is high, taking action is easy. Once it starts to dwindle down, it can be a lot tougher. You might not be aiming to get fit and that’s fine.

Gradual Changes

Instead of changing your entire diet all in one day, try making small, gradual changes. Remember, this is a lifestyle change, not just some temporary, quick-fix diet.

Keep At It

The first thing is to keep in mind that your rate of progress will fluctuate and is oftentimes much higher in the beginning. In fact, there will even be some weeks where you’ll go in reverse in terms of progress. Don’t let that phase you. Keep at it.
