Karl Urban Sighting

I just needed to share with people who understand my excitement at seeing Karl Urban at the Detroit airport this evening.
I was waiting for my wife to arrive on a late night flight when I saw a bunch guys with Motor City Comic Con badges gathering by the arrivals door. I thought, “Hey, maybe I’ll see someone famous.”
And then a few minutes later, I did!
It was just me and the Comic Con guys standing there since it was after midnight. He said hello to them and then smiled and nodded at me. I’m sure it was very obvious that I recognized him.
I was so excited to tell my wife, and her response was: “Who’s that?” 💀

Your wife doesn't know who he is? Excuse to show her Xena and Hercules and if you're into it the Boys, Lord of the Rings... I get it as I do not usually retain the people that way myself but ... That's a fun answer

She understood when I said Lord of the Rings. I have tried to get her into Xena, but unfortunately she doesn’t get it.

A shame. At least show her cupid so she can gape at the bad hair

Would be there too but had to travel. Enjoy!

Ahhh that's so cool! 😍 I was lucky and got to meet him last year at a Comic Con, and he was surprised and happy I brought up Xena. Such a nice guy and really seems to love his fans. Antony Starr was there too (he was also in Xena!) so I got a photo op with them both. As I was being hurried away for the next person in line I yelled back to them "I loved you both in Xena!!" and they laughed a bunch 🤣 They were both so awesome!

Should have said, "Oi!"

He is usually very appreciative of his Xena past. Like a lot of Kiwis, very down to earth

He is super nice. I met him at a Xena con. I was sitting next to him at the bar. 😉

I have an autographed card of him as Cupid. 😉

One of my favorite actors, he's fun to watch in any role. It's a shame the Dredd movie didn't get any sequels.

He’s going to the motor city comicon this weekend

You saw Billy Butcher in person, I'm jealous!

That man has always been and always will be Caesar.

Omg! I would have went up to him (if it seemed he was open to be approached), and told him I’ve been a fan since XENA DAYS. I’m sure he gets lots of lotr and the boys and now mortal kombat fans, but we’re like the OG OG fans here in Xena land! How cool

I was much too flabbergasted to say anything even if I had wanted to. Was I less of a dork, I would have given him my best Roman salute.
