Of all the people that we could have possibly interviewed at the #ThorRagnarokEvent, Karl Urban was my number one pick. I enjoy his movies and was also a fan of a short lived television show that he was in.

He then went around the whole room and up and down the aisles and shook every blogger’s hand. Thanks to Allison Waken and her camera skills I have a photo of that moment.
