I agree.
Karl seems to be the least out-of-his-element and bewildered about his role in the movie, how well the film did and the franchise in-general. As much as I groove to John Cho, Quinto and Pine I couldn't see any of them bragging and glowing about their action figures.
MAN! He loved his action figure. He totally wanted to marry it
Totally!
As loose as Pine, Quinto and even PEGG get at times I couldn't see any of them publicly loving all over an action figure of their likeness like that! Pegg came close during a U.S. publicity tour for HOT FUZZ and was filmed licking and playing immaturely with a MacFarlane-quality doll/figure of his character from SHAUN OF THE DEAD, but even then he didn't seem too into the playfulness.
I'm sure his experience with the LOTR and Riddick film franchises and the Xena TV show toughened him up, so to speak, for the craziness that is Star Trek (said with affection and full acknowledgment that I'm one of them, but really, there's no denying we Trek fans are a nutty--but nice--bunch

). I believe he's the only cast member that has prior experience with a major SF film franchise, isn't he?
Plus he just seems like a very laid-back guy by nature--at least, that's how he comes across to me in all his interviews. He has the intensity of an artist, yes, but he appears to be grateful for his good fortune and very humble.
Of course, for all I know he could be such a good actor that he goes home and kicks the cat, throws dinner across the room if it's a minute late, and cheats on his wife, but I seriously doubt that. He wouldn't have so many friends and fellow actors saying so many good things about him if he was like that.
I would venture to say Karl Urban is a decent guy with his head screwed on straight.
And FYI, I plan to be the first person in line when they perfect cloning and the Karl clone becomes available on the market. They'd make a mint off him, wouldn't they? Just from the people in this thread alone:
"Let's see...a Karl for me, a Karl for
trampledamage, a Karl for
Crusher Disciple, one for
AstroSmurf, one each for
Jeri and
Randi*, one for
cooleddie, and one each for all my other Karl Urban thread buddies!"
*Although these two ladies may too busy with their Chris Pine clones to require a Karl clone.
