Last Airbender Adds More Cast Members

According to Screen Rant, "Well today we get four more people being added to the cast list: Aasif Mendvi, Shaun Toub, Cliff Curtis and Keong Sim. Don’t recognize those names? No worries: we’ve got the info you need to know about the actors and their roles in 'The Last Airbender.'

Mandvi, who some may know from films and TV shows like 'Ghost Town,' 'CSI' and 'Jericho' (to name but a few), will play the role of Commander Zhao, a character described as 'an ambitious and hot-tempered Fire Nation commander.'

Shaun Toub, who we saw most recently helping Tony Stark build his first suit in 'Iron Man,' is set to play Uncle Iroh, the 'retired Fire Nation general who is the devoted surrogate parent to Dev Patel’s character, Zuko.'

Cliff Curtis, who some may know from the likes of 'Sunshine,' 'Live Free or Die Hard' and 'Training Day' (amongst many others - he’s a busy man), will play the 'ruthless ruler Fire Lord Ozai.'

And Sim, who’s only appeared as mainly extras in a handful of TV shows, has been cast as the character of Earthbending Father.



These four will join previously announced cast members Noah Ringer (who plays the title role), Nicola Peltz (Waterbender Katara), Jackson Rathbone (Katara’s brother Sokka), and Dev Patel (playing the Prince Zuko, prince of the Fire Nation)."

I am a big fan of the show "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and I think it is truly one of the most inventive animated shows made in the past decade. A film is definitely deserved and can be extremely well made if done right. Hopefully M. Night Shyamalan will do the show justice will this first film in a supposed trilogy.

More news to come! Catch ya' later!
