And, certainly, there are many things that I really enjoy, from science-fiction stuff, like Star Wars, Star Trek or great shows like \u2018Doctor Who\u2019. I met David Tennant today. Oh, yessssssss! It wasn\u2019t for long because.. I was just standing there having a conversation when someone else came up and interrupted and decided to have a conversation and I\u2019m like \u201cBuddy, what are you doing? *shooing person away* We\u2019re standing here talking.\u201d Anyway, I think he\u2019s extraordinary. I really do. I mean, I love what Matt Smith did, who\u2019s also a very brilliant actor. But to me I love David Tennant because I think he really benefited, I mean obviously he is an extraordinary gifted actor but he also benefited from the wonderful writing of Russel B. Davies. And, y&#8217;know, that I think it was a particularly special and unique time for Dr. Who and I greatly enjoy seeing and watching it with my boys. Y&#8217;know, I have just great admiration and respect for all that sort of stuff. And then it\u2019s just a wonderful opportunity for me to meet the fans. It\u2019s like when, y&#8217;know, you do theater and you get a pretty immediate idea of, y&#8217;know, whether or\u00a0 what something you\u2019ve done is appreciated or not. Or a joke is funny. And this is not often. So, y\u2019know, you get into a situation like this, you get an opportunity to meet people, that you get the feed back if you are working in the mediums of film and television. So I really enjoy it and I enjoy the fun festive spirit of people dressing up and, y&#8217;know, expressing themselves. And it\u2019s just so cool. And I love like going around the streets before and after and, y&#8217;know, you are walking down the block and you see some guy walking down the road with a light saber. It\u2019s kind of cool. It\u2019s surreal. And it\u2019s just great that for these couple of days that you guys get to essentially do what we do.\u201c &#8211; <b>Karl Urban<\/b> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Y_iqsV1Ftxg\" target=\"_blank\">Wizard World Philadelphia 2015<\/a>)<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>karlurbaninternational: \u201cWhat I love about these conventions: it\u2019s just a wonderful opportunity for everyone to get together and celebrate elements of pop-culture that we all collectivly love.
