Of German descent on his father's side.

His character of Cupid was originally written into the "Xena: Warrior Princess" (1995) Season 5 finale episode "Motherhood", but Urban was unavailable because he was filming "The Lord of the Rings" elsewhere in New Zealand. As compensation, Robert G. Tapert wrote the Season 6 episode "When Fates Collide" specifically for him, this time for his more popular character of Julius Caesar. Tapert also used this episode as an opportunity to bid farewell to two other fan favorite recurring characters; Alti and Brutus, portrayed by Claire Stansfield and David Franklin. "When Fates Collide" became one of the most popular episodes of the entire series.

Did four roles on "Xena: Warrior Princess" (1995): Cesar the emperor, Kor a caveman, Cupid son of Aphrodite and Mael (biblical character), Isaac's brother.

He is, and has almost always been, very active. He worked on his aunt and uncle's farm for many years doing odd jobs. For filming the "Lord of the Rings" movies, he realized that Eomer was a consummate horseman and he was nowhere near that level, so he invested a lot of time learning--six to eight weeks, five days a week, two hours a day. He wanted to learn to neck rein, a method of steering a horse using one hand while leaving the other hand free to wield a sword. He wanted to be so at one with the horse that he wasn't conscious or concerned about what the horse was doing. In addition, he also enjoys indoor rock climbing.
