Karl Urban – Actor SLC Comic Con FanX 2014 SaltlakeComicCon.com From the very first moment, Karl Urban grabs his audiences’ attention, hearts and minds. Born in Wellington, New Zealand, Mr. Urban brought his deep, commanding voice to the stage of Salt Lake Comic Con. His wisecracking character enveloped the crowd with fast paced zings and deep answers. Karl showed his lifelong love of all things science fiction and fantasy. He fielded questions ranging from Star Trek to Lord of the Rings. Will he be the next Dr. Who? How about starring in Star Wars? Since beginning his major acting career in 1991 with the TV series, “Shark in the Park”, Karl has appeared in well over 40 TV series, video game, and movies. A brief list of these appearances would include, “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys”,” Xena: Warrior Princess”, “The Lord of the Rings” Trilogy”, “The Chronicles of Riddick”, “The Bourne Supremacy”, and in the J. J. Abrams reboot of the “Star Trek” movie franchise. Karl has also taken the leading roles of the “Dredd” movie and his own TV series, “Almost Human”. Here’s a bit of trivia about Karl’s acting abilities.

SLC Comic Con 2013 Salt Lake City, Utah When: 2013 Where: Held at the Salt Palace downtown SLC, UT Wesbite: SaltLakeComicCon.com 2013 was the first year Salt Lake City held a Comic Con event. Earlier in the year it started off at a smaller venue but popularity and ticket sales quickly drove the show organizers to migrate to the state’s largest indoor venue the Salt Palace. That wasn’t enough. With over 75,000+ estimated attendees the place was packed. No one minded because it was amazing. It was the single largest geek gathering SLC had ever seen! If you weren’t there in costume you felt out of place. SLC Comic Con 2013 had 100’s of guests… to name a few, Lou Ferrigno, Dwight Schultz, William Shatner, Stan Lee, David Prowse, Peter Mayhew, Dirk Benedict, Ray Park, Weta Workshop, and more. Wesley Productions had the opportunity to exclusively represent ABC Utah (KTVX) and CW30 (KUCW) . Our footage was used on the evening news during the event as well as provided for advertising for future events. It was a blast. Wesley Productions gave ABC and Comic Con ten months to use the footage. Now, in preparation for the 2014 Comic Con, we’re releasing our footage and photos. Enjoy!...
