Kiwi actor Karl Urban’s managed to find significant success overseas, but he’s returned to New Zealand for his new role in an upcoming local film.<\/p>\n
Between The Boys, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, and Thor: Ragnarok, his credit list of big international hits is extensive.<\/p>\n
He returned to star in Andrew Nicol\u2019s new film I, Object back in 2024 and he says it’s great to be filming near where he grew up.<\/p>\n
“I was actually shooting over in Australia and I was approached to do the voice of one of the objects in the movie, and then I promptly got another callback saying – ‘would you consider the role of Frank?’ And it seemed to me I’ve had a lot of fun doing that and I really wanted to work with Andrew.”<\/p>\n
