As a long-term fan of Star Trek<\/i>, portraying Dr. McCoy was a thrill for Karl Urban<\/b>.<\/p>\n
As reported by KansasCity.com<\/a>, “This was a fantastic opportunity for me,” said Urban. “I’m so grateful to J.J. for the opportunity to do a character so fundamentally different from anything I’ve done in such a long time. You certainly can’t call Bones McCoy an action hero.”Working in a Star Trek<\/i> film was “icing on the cake” for Urban, a fan of Star Trek<\/i> since childhood. “The other thing that makes this so great is that I’m a long-term fan of the TV show,” explained Urban. “As a kid in New Zealand, I would religiously be in front of the set every Saturday morning when Star Trek<\/i> came on.”<\/p>\n Urban had a great time working on Star Trek XI<\/i>. “The challenge was to stop laughing before the camera started rolling,” he said. “We were having such a great time, and that chemistry is evident on screen. And I was giddy through much of the filming. It was surreal to be on the Enterprise’s bridge in a Starfleet uniform delivering some of the iconic lines of my childhood.”<\/p>\n To read more, head to the article located here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As a long-term fan of Star Trek, portraying Dr. McCoy was a thrill for Karl…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2401],"tags":[2487],"class_list":["post-5615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-star-trek-xi","tag-urban"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T'Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"Star Trek: XI<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: XI","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5615"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5615\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6927,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5615\/revisions\/6927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
