Karl Urban is celebrating his 53rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor Karl Urban (Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 53rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Urban, a cultural icon

Born Karl-Heinz Urban in Wellington on June 7, 1972, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in history. Urban's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Karl hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Karl Urban as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 53.

Happy Birthday, Karl, you're the best!
