The Many Faces Of Karl Urban

Currently in cinemas, David Lowery's remake of Pete's Dragon is a surprisingly decent piece of entertainment. As one of the reasons for this, Jim Tudor notes in his review that the film has a very solid cast, which includes the likes of Robert Redfort, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Wes Bentley. And, as the villain of sorts, Karl Urban.

While he started acting as a teenage heartthrob on New Zealand television, his international movie career has moved him time and time again into genre. And if you're a fan of genre, that's a good thing, because, as stated by the Lord of the Rings actors in their commentary track for The Two Towers: every film gets better when Karl Urban is in it. While that does make you wonder about some of those films, I agree in general with that statement.

So once again I'm going to use eleven pictures of one of my favourite thespians to make a quiz. Click through the images, and guess which movies or shows they're from. No competition, no prizes, just for fun, try to see how far you get without using IMDb!

And I'll post the answers next Thursday, or earlier if someone gets all of them right.

And here he is in Pete's Dragon as Gavin, the overly ambitious bulldozing land developing foreman, out to shoot a pesky dragon.
