Let’s face it, you can’t get much bigger shoes to fill than Kirk, Spock, McCoy and the rest of the Star Trek crew!! They all nailed it!!

Other than that, you are completely right: My comment is uncalled for, and over the top. I just felt but-hurt in that specific moment. Btw, now you follow up: Name me one single role that would make him worthy of an actual award? I can't name one. Dredd? Maybe... He is great in it, but the movie itself is not that great. He is a great actor, but he has yet to land a role that is award-worthy, imo.

I spent months trying to find information about who they were the only solid evidence I came across with multiple sources verified is that under the compound sits a couple hundred antic cars and not ones that ever saw market. If ibwas super wealthy the first thing I'd do is spend my money to keep my name out people's mouths. Look at actors like will Ferrell and Matt Damon.

It’s almost like a painting, especially in the slo-mo sequences, with how much work they put into the various layers to give it depth, perspective, size, and scale. Alex Garland wrote it (28 Days Later, Sunshine, Ex Machina, etc.) and some say he shadow-directed it too. Anyhow, would love to see Dredd 2.

Instead, he got to be Cate Blanchet (who is amazing in THOR3, no diss here)'s errand boy, the punching bag for jokes, and has a blink and you'd miss it redemptive death at the end. [Granted, they did even less with Lee Pace's character in the MCU, and Ronan the Accuser has an amazing arc in the comics]

[@kanikagaral7637]

I swear he is so talented.

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

they can use him again like they reused Josh Brolin!

[@ytuser_3122]

They should’ve cast him as Wolverine in the MCU, I also loved him as Bones in Star Trek!

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

@@ytuser_3122 same and I complete agree!

[@vanessaaraujo5340]

I live to see Stephen interview LOTR people, it doesn't matter what they are currently doing he will spend at least half of the time discussing LOTR haha just love his passion so much

[@jamesmonroe9496]

Ol Billy Butcher. I’m obsessed with this show.

[@ajthefujoshi]

I'm with Stephen on being a nerd with Karl as Eomer. 💕 Karl will always be Eomer and William Cooper in my heart. 💕💕💕

[@mrjackelbox4418]

6:15 i love this guy

[@MayLily]

Bless Colbert for always keeping the LOTR love alive and well, especially whenever he gets a chance to nerd out and interview anyone from the LOTR/Hobbit franchises, hahaha.

[@dcptiv]

The world wants more Karl Urban as Dredd. Pretty sure Karl also wants to do more Dredd but the powers that be are reluctant.

[@davidf2281]

+1

[@casbot71]

And the proposed plot for the sequel they planned when making the first one is controversial, it's from a existing comic and has Dredd going up _against_ democratic activist because he believes Humans aren't capable of the judgement to control themselves. But it got shelved because Dredd didn't do well enough at the box office.

[@boat1280]

god he would be so good as wolverine

[@last7509]

Guy is a true star. Charms you with ease.

[@dodgygoose3054]

Karl Urban in Pathfinder, is gritty awesome and underrated.

[@douglaspate9314]

True

[@liberalimperial3410]

Karl seems like a chill down to earth guy who loves life. So refreshing

[@LegendoftheGalacticHero]

Ofc Stephen is going to talk LotR and I'm here for it. Karl Urban in those films was a treat.

[@mariop27]

Dredd and 'Bones' McCoy 💪 I also liked him in the 2nd Bourne movie

[@HeAhaBro]

Bro you gotta see him as "Butcher" in "The Boys". Dude is just real Badass.

[@SpaceForceCommander]

Unlike Sylvester Stallone, Karl Urban can play (Judge) Dredd without removing his helmet, just like the original 2000 A.D. comic source.

[@mannylugz5872]

Its a pass!

[@RictusHolloweye]

@@mannylugz5872 - You look ready.

[@GrifterTheBoyIdiot]

I always wonder why karl urban didn't get a sequel

[@TighelanderII]

Karl's Dredd movie was better, but it didn't have enough of what makes the comic strip unique. The beginning and end were fine, but the middle was just another shoot-em-up.

[@reymondlopez7468]

He actually insisted on keeping the helmet on in order to stay true to the character.

[@itsPoddington]

"So the boys is a show that imagines a world where superheroes exist, except the superheroes in our world are c**ts"

Was expecting him to actually say that. Or "c-words" at least. 😁

Very Underrated Actor, deserves more Lead Roles

[@bananaphonezj]

I love that we got a Two Towers interview from Karl Urban! Colbert appreciates the geeks

[@GetosBiatch357]

Glad to hear that cheer!! Well deserved!

[@burzulicious]

Brilliant interview. I'm obsessed with the train of topics and how much I could relate. Yes, I, too also only want to talk about LOTR and Taika Waititi.

[@harrismiller1948]

After he did judge dredd, he was up for another one, he had a petition going online, I haven't heard anything since then

[@worf7271]

Dredd was so awesome. I keep hoping for a sequel even though it probably won't happen.

[@harrismiller1948]

He is judge dredd!

[@SkullKingofCarpathia]

There is a rumor they may make a tv series with Karl Urban. If that happens and it does well, we may get a Dredd sequel

[@thedoneeye]

@@harrismiller1948 You are only half right citizen. He is DREDD!!

I feel like Colbert is on a lifelong mission to befriend everyone from LOTR. Excited for future Colbert/Karl fishing pics

Billy Butcher 🔥🔥🔥

[@avengergramcomics9999]

This man is a treasure.

[@jmg2942]

I have loved Karl Urban since his Xena days, so underrated! Love Pathfinder, Riddick, and the Boyz, should've also made hot celeb lists for the last 30 years. Hope he continues to get more offers, I'd watch anything he was in.

[@barbarahill9176]

Been waiting to see someone mention his character from Zena! Maybe it's a little too far back for some people. ☺

[@Leza1121]

I also watched the tv series Xena. It was the first time I saw Karl Urban. Been a fan ever since.

[@baronarachnid756]

The theme they used when Karl entered the stage! If you wanna be my lover is Billy Butcher's theme now.

[@The_greysterofficial]

Karl is well known for being a nexus being, meaning he exists in every universe like marvel, Star Trek, lOTR, the boys, he is everywhere

[@jansaxton1760]

Loved him as the young CIA agent going after Bruce Willis' character in "Red."

[@jennykra7350]

Kordeski trained you" "Yeah" "I trained Kordeski"

[@tracyrain4941]

Thought he was brilliant in The Bourne Supremacy too. He's been in so many great films.

[@lyreparadox]

Was he in Bourne Supremacy too? I'll have to rewatch it. I loved his character in RED. And I really want to hear some behind-the-scenes stories about having to fight Bruce Willis. 🤩

[@zillafire101]

Well, well, well, if it isn't The Law.

[@waltersumofan]

This could have easily been a triple extended interview without any complaint

[@MrDrdiaz81084]

It blows my mind how from Doom, when I first saw him to now, he has remained awesome.

[@Dysfunction817]

"...but yes I do know"....LOL perfect delivery

Stephen: Was that terrifying? They were screaming death

[@anne102080]

It’s nice to have a late night host who kinda understands the pulse of the country

[@johnlloyddy7016]

Loved him in "Dredd" and "Almost Human".

[@alpborakirte801]

I like when Steven get to show how he is a huge LOTR fan and a geek.

[@DhavalBrahmbhatt2627]

Most underrated actor in Hollywood. Best portrayal of Bones we could have possibly imagined. His American accent is commendable because it’s so weird hearing him in his native NZ accent. I wish they made a Star Trek TV show with Urban playing Bones with his metaphors.

[@Marzipan_Rocks]

As a Kiwi (New Zealander) I’m pretty proud of how well he has done. I love his films, haven’t seen The Boys yet but looks cool. I also remember him in his start out role in Shortland Street, New Zealand hospital based drama/soap where he played a gay nurse. Always been a great actor and getting better looking with age 😜😍 Stephen is obsessed with LOTR so Jacinda (our Prime Minister) arranged for him to get some authentic calligraphy done by the people who did it for the movie, he was fan girling so hard!

[@clarebear2]

Proud of him too. Haha yeah, Shortland Street was the first thing I saw him in!

[@EllenRCox]

Ditto!

[@delicedeluna1629]

My first Karl Urban was as Cupid! 🥰

[@raph6931]

You should check out The Boys, it's insanely good. Its also got another kiwi in the antagonist role (Antony Starr). Just be aware that it's very graphic.

[@Marzipan_Rocks]

@Bizzram ✓ it’s on a channel I don’t have. Maybe pick it up later on a streaming service, but don’t want to pay for them all 😫🤣

[@bafflezbiz]

Wow. I was not expecting big bad "Butcher" to be so anxious and shy. Sure, he pulled it off without a hitch (obviously not his first Rodeo), but his nerves were apparent as he sped through each story and exchange. He even appeared a bit star-struck in Stephen's presence. Understandable but unexpected. Goes to show that even talented actors who face cameras as a career can still experience stage-fright and the associated anxiety that affects so many of us when speaking before a live audience. Gives me hope that I can push through the fear and, with practice, find some measure of confidence in front of a crowd.

[@slicesofsib5572]

His Judge Dredd movie was incredible! He is such an amazing actor!

[@KingJohnVA]

It’s so weird hearing him talk not in his Billy Butcher voice. He’s an incredible actor though!

[@willd9298]

He looks more like wolverine then wolverine looks like wolverine. Make it happen Hollywood

[@neelanshmishra7084]

Make it R rated please

[@Satsujinki1973]

Karl is 50. That means he would have one, maybe two movies in him before he aged out of the role. They need to find another Young actor like Jackman who can look gruff and worn for 20 years without looking like they have aged all that much.

[@vikinglore1066]

How can we not have had more Dredd yet? Karl always does a spectacular job.

[@douglaspate9314]

Karl-Heinz is one of my favourite actors, though I've never seen anything of the LOTR. A simple and brilliant role in the Bourne movie too

[@mohammedbarbandi965]

As much as I wanted to hear about the boys, it’s always great to see an interviewer actually talk about something they actually care about. Like Stephen with LOTR

[@oliviatoler633]

I love that Butcher and Homelander actors are both from New Zealand.
