Urban was born in the New Zealand city of Wellington. His father, a German immigrant, ran a leather goods store, and his mother used to work at Film Facilities in Wellington. The young Urban was exposed to classic New Zealand cinema through his mother and developed an interest in the film industry. Urban attended St Mark’s Church School, where he developed an early interest in public speaking. At the age of eight, he had a single line in an episode of the New Zealand television series Pioneer Woman.

His second son was named after Indiana Jones, the eponymous hero of the Indiana Jones film franchise, which he has stated is one of his favorite film franchises.
