Karl Urban versus Michael Ealy in Vancouver: who would you rather?

FFN_Urban_Karl_NHOSRLEY_EXC_102513_51243508

Here are some photos of Karl Urban and Michael Ealy in Vancouver a few days ago. They’re starring in a new TV show called Almost Human, which should not be confused with the SyFy show Being Human (I’ve already made that mistake and I had geared myself up for a huge argument about unnecessary remakes, but I’ll put a pin in that and save it for another time).

Almost Human’s tagline: “In a not-so-distant future, human cops and androids partner up to protect and serve.” Sounds kind of dumb, but maybe it will work. That being said, I’m guessing that a lot of American fan-girls are happy about Karl Urban coming to TV soon enough. Urban plays the human cop, Michael Ealy plays the robot cop. Lily Taylor is in it too, which is a big plus – but is she enough to get me to watch the damn thing? I like Karl Urban too, and I think he’s sexy. But I’d rather see him do a more by-the-books police procedural rather than some sci-fi thing.

As for Michael Ealy – I confess that I’ve only seen him in one thing, The Good Wife, where his character was incredibly underdeveloped and underutilized. That’s not on him, although I was happy when he left the show. Since we seem to talk about ages more often lately, Michael is 41 years old, and Karl is 42. Yep, I can see that for both of them.

I will give them this – it looks like they’re having a good time together.

    Both are hot, but I have a soft spot for Eomer/Bones.

  2. blue marie says:

    They are both pretty cute, so I refuse to choose. Meh, I’ll give the show a shot.

  3. T.fanty says:

    Ealy is 41? Wow. I wasn’t sure that what I was thinking was legal! Ealy for the win!

  4. Mia4S says:

    Yes.

    Oh wait was I supposed to choose? Look the premise sounds weird but considering Sleepy Hollow turned out to be awesome fun I’ll give this a shot. Beats generic cop/doctor/serial killer show #64436!

  5. j.eyre says:

    Normally I would say either or both as both are attractive but today I will say unequivocally Urban in the hopes of waking Ms. Jenna from her cyber slumber and inciting her to come for my blood.

    The lengths I go to for a proper “hey girl”

    • Anna says:

      Neither on their own, but not bad together…
      Not sure how I feel about the show – I was into the promo when it came out over the summer, but I feel like my dance card is full now.

      • j.eyre says:

        I haven’t seen the show yet – you’re on the fence? It seems like the only things I have watched so far are a few comedies. I have already dropped one. And S.H.I.E.L.D. may not stay in the rotation either. I am a ride or die Clark Gregg fan but the rest of the cast makes me want to punch them. I am so let down by Ming-Wa Wen (whom I love and lust for) I am convinced I am just now watching for a Thor cameo.

    • Jenna says:

      HEY, HEY, HEY!!! Dammit!!! The hell, GURL, I will shank you!!!

      P.S. How are you?!?!? I’m only in a cyber slumber because Grad School is making me it’s bitch……oh, yeah and I’m in Sweden getting Viking dong. 😀

      • j.eyre says:

        JENNA! I knew it, I knew you would hear me as soon as I laid my hands on your fine man. Shank away darling, I will have something to remember you by.

        All is well at Thornfield save for the giant Jenna-sized hole you left. Are you in mid terms now? How’s it all going – and that includes the Swedish dong?

        *muah*

      • Jenna says:

        *SHANK* There you go my dear! Lovely stardust to remember me by!

        Oh, how I miss Thornfield so! The beds there were so lovely. Karl has fond memories as well. My first class ends on Thursday! Alas, I have a ten page paper due that day as well. 🙁

        But, all is going well, considering! Miss home sometimes. Everything here closes SO early! The city that never sleeps, it is not. But that’s okay! I have a Viking to warm my bed. Ahem. I strongly recommend Viking dong to everyone. Just saying…

  6. mia girl says:

    Yes, this American fan-girl is very happy.
    I am ONLY going to give this program a shot because of the Karl Urban. Swoon…

  7. Kit says:

    I watched that lousy film “Red” and enjoyed myself immensely because of Urban in a suit. He’s gorgeous. The other guy is cute but I’m not familiar with him.

  8. Gwen says:

    Urban is very hot in an approachable way, I think. I’d do him.

  9. GlimmerBunny says:

    Eomer forever!

  10. TG says:

    Early is too pretty for my tastes but that Karl guy looks hot. Didn’t early date Halle Berry back in the day?

    • Skeptical At Best says:

      He sure did! They hooked up during that TV movie they made together. That was ages ago. Back when light skinned dudes got my engine going. But I’m older and more mature (thank God). With that being said, Michael Ealy still looks good!!!!

  11. MonicaQ says:

    I’m totally getting Warrick from CSI: vibes from Ealy. And since I was ALL about that in HS…score.

  12. Eve says:

    Where’s Jenna? I was certain she’d be all over this post.

  13. GeeMoney says:

    Michael Ealy, FTW.

  14. jaye says:

    Why do we have to choose? Personally, I’d like to make a me sandwich with them as the “bread”. Shhhhh…I’m picturing it.

  15. wtf says:

    Ealy. Always. Forever.

  16. jess says:

    Ealy – no question. He is beautiful. And looks 31 – not 41! And if Lili Taylor is in this I’ll watch it just for her!

  17. V4Real says:

    I was wondering when these two would make an appearance on C/B. Together they make a hot pair. I hope the show is good. I”ll take both by the way.

  18. LAK says:

    Pretty sure there was a show with that very premise about 10yrs ago.

    Edit: yep! show was in 1993/94.

  19. Jess says:

    Seeing as I watched bad episodes of Xena for the Urban, I’m super excited for his new show.

  20. eliza says:

    Urban= Yum.

  21. Jenna says:

    Urban, URBAN!!! Dear sweet baby!Yeezus it’s URBAN!!!! *le unf* Gosh, the things I would do to that man had an atheist telling me that I need Jesus. Stay back bitches…stay back! -_-

    • Eve says:

      “Gosh, the things I would do to that man had an atheist telling me that I need Jesus.”

      LOL!

      I’d never tell you that. Although I might call 911 if I saw his life was at stake.

    • Singtress says:

      Oh, Jenna, I never usually comment here….but I gotta tell ya: if you want Urban you are gonna have to fight me.
      Mine.
      Mine.
      Mine.
      Aaaaaaand,……. (Heavy sigh)…. Mine.

      (I can also direct you to some really yummy fanfictions with some of his characters that, I guarantee you, will NOT help your sinful thoughts become pure.)

      • Jenna says:

        No, no, nooooooooooooo!!!! He’s still all MINE! And I don’t share!!!

        (I may have already read a good portion of them. Ahem. *blushes* Just saying…)

      • Singtress says:

        I think we have a fight on our hands.

        😉

        The loser has to lick pudding off him.

  22. Bex says:

    I’ve been into Karl Urban for a long time but somehow when he darkened the hair and lasered off that thing above his eyebrow he lost some of the hot for me. I wondered if it was age or conformity or even just “character”. The Almost Human promos have me back to remembering the hot. Yay!

    Michael Ealy is really pretty so that combo is all win. Will probably try the show out because I’m into sci-fi.

  23. vv says:

    Karl Urban and his scowl, coming to a TV near you! — But in all seriousness Urban grew on me. He is great in the Star Trek movies and I confess, I enjoyed him in Dredd.

    Oh and Vaako! He was pretty hot in the Chronicles of Riddick.

    • Kyla says:

      Dredd, sure . But I even enjoyed him in Doom. A lot. Karl Urban sets the standard, and can wear the hell out of linen shirt, as seen in the beginning of The Bourne Supremacy.

      • SpunkyPR says:

        He was talking with a Russian accent right? I thought that was him!

      • cr says:

        @SpunkyPR, yes Karl was Kiril in Bourne Supremacy, Russian Secret Service assassin.
        Karl’s worked very steadily since playing Eomer, thank goodness. I enjoy watching him.

  24. allheavens says:

    Ealy all day, every day.

  25. johnnybadboytapia says:

    both are sexy!!!!

  26. Darkladi says:

    Choose? Honey this situation was made for king size beds

  27. AlmondJoy says:

    THANK YOU for a post with men other than the usuals!!!!!!! (I refuse to name them) I’ve been I love with Michael Ealy for yearrrrrs but they’re both very handsome.

  28. Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

    The boots look comfy.

  29. Lindsey says:

    I would bone Bones, dressed as Eomer 😉

  30. RobN says:

    Only going to watch that show for Urban; then I’m going to hit reverse and watch him, I mean the show, again.

  31. drea says:

    But, but they’re both so hot! Karl/Eomer has been on my list forever, but Karl/Bones isn’t quite as appealing to me. I think it’s the Ken doll hair.

  32. briargal says:

    This country girl is going Urban! This show has certainly been advertised a lot by Fox as they are showing promos during the baseball playoffs and now the World Series. Hope it is a huge success.

  33. Green_eyes says:

    Karl Urban… He has been on my list for years. He is one of the main reasons I watch the Star Trek movies… Though I have always thought Ealy is good looking & love his eyes… Karl is just yes… Yummy is the best description lol!

  34. InvaderTak says:

    Stole the concept for the show from Isaac Asimov. The Elijah Bailey /daneel olivah series. Still looks interesting. I will watch for urban for sure.

  35. The Original Mia says:

    Do I have to choose? Fine. I’ll take Karl Urban. Just love him. I like Michael too, but I’d step over some ladies to get to him.

  36. nicegirl says:

    I cannot choose! They are both gorgeous men

  37. Murphy says:

    OMG Karl Urban all the way. He’s like a sexy, futuristic Luka Kovac.

  38. MissNostalgia says:

    No contest for me; I am an Urbanite!

  39. Camille (TheOriginal) says:

    Karl <3! I love my fellow Kiwi!

    I also love it that so many USA girls seem to love him here, that's great. And the Aussies can't claim him as one of theirs- YAY! 😉

  40. SimplyRed says:

    I’ll take both of them.. mix em up together, hmm hmm yummy cakes

  41. I Choose Me says:

    Considers. Verdict – both!

  42. fallen says:

    Michael Ealy all the way, he is so hot!! He was amazing in Sleeper Cell, check that show out. I can’t believe he’s in my city! I need to do some stalking lol

  43. Amy says:

    Michael Ealy is 41 years old?!? He looks like he is 21! This surprised me just as much when I found out Pharrell was 40 too!

    Is Michael Ealy the guy in Beyonce’s Halo video? Because I think that’s the only thing I’ve seen him in.

  44. kitty-bye says:

    Karl Urban all the way. His eyes, Yeow! makes me tingle hehe!

  45. raincoaster says:

    Ooooh, I’m quite excited to find out Karl Urban is in town.

  46. Claire says:

    Karl is gorgeous – used to see him around Auckland and he was definately a good looking man.
