Karl Urban was interested in acting from an early age, and his first role was in an episode of the show Pioneer Woman.

The talented actor not only gained fame for his work in the Xena: Warrior Princess but also earned a significant amount as salary. Since Lucy Lawless, who played the titular character, reportedly earned $999,550 (NZ$1.5 million) per episode, Karl Urban's salary must have been similar as well.
