Karl Urban[edit]

Can someone change Karl's DOB to June 7th 1972?

It is NOT August as stated - that came from an interview with Karl and Bruce Willis and was a joke.

Cheers! This is my first post so I hope I have done this correctly :)

I think he's a New Zealand actor with a german father? Could you please add this in the first line? :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.199.103.85 (talk) 08:34, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

relation to Keith Urban[edit]

Does anyone how if Karl and Keith Urban are related because they are both from wellington, new zealand, and both of there last names are Urban and both of there first names start with K, so if anyone has any information then post it on this page.

They are not related, and Keith is from Whangarei, not Wellington.--NeilEvans 20:05, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know the names of his two sons? - His sons are Hunter and Indy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.122.126.140 (talk) 07:50, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He's got *two* sons? Last time I checked it was only one. ~ The Former Lady Renegade. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.100.252.71 (talk) 10:11, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, two sons, there's a blurb on a New Zealand-related site[1]:

A Kiwi movie star spent a weekend at Ururangi Marae in Awarua last week to learn more about his wife’s cultural heritage.
Karl Urban, who starred in Pathfinder and co-starred in such epics as The Bourne Supremacy, Doom, The Lord of the Rings, Star Trek and The Chronicles of Riddick met with kaumatua and members of his wife Natalie Wihongi’s family during the weekend. The couple’s two sons, eight-year-old Hunter and Indiana, 3, also stayed over.
Karl, Natalie and his family live in Auckland. This week, he is leaving for Argentina where he has a role in a new movie.

Son's birthdate?[edit]

It says that his younger son was born in January 2004, but this article in May 2008 puts him at age 3, so it must have been 2005 not 2004, right?

Date of birth[edit]

This article has given a date of birth for Urban of 7 June 1972. An anon edit on 17 November 2010 gave a birth date of 7 August 1972, with a link to YouTube as a reference and a mention of a Sunday Star-Times article for 26 September 2010 saying that the previous date was incorrect. At some point since then, the June date was restored.

The YouTube reference, which has survived until today, links to a video marked private. This is not useful as a reference. The Sunday-Star Times article does not appear to be available on the newspaper's website, but an apparent copy of its contents appears at [2] (a few posts down from the top of the page). It says near the bottom of the copy "Wikipedia does list a different birth date to the one his agent gave us."

I haven't had much luck finding an authoritative source for his birth date - many sources on the internet are likely to have been influenced by this article - so I have removed the date until such a source can be found. I'm not aware of any dispute about the year of his birth, but really, that needs a source too.-gadfium 22:32, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Role of Bones[edit]

It states in the International roles it states:

In 2009, he played Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, a role famously originated by DeForest Kelley, in the eleventh Star Trek film.[6][7][8][9].

The role of Bones was originated in the original series scope_creep (talk) 09:04, 28 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship[edit]

A number of anons have edited this page and Katee Sackhoff over the last year saying that the relationship between the two had finished, but no one supplied a source until today, when Urban updated his twitter.[3] I think we should take this in good faith and update both articles to show that the relationship is over.-gadfium 19:48, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
