Hokay. Because I think the casting of the Last Airbender is made of supreme fail, as I mentioned last post, here are my choices for the live-action roles.

Be aware, I did end up casting two characters with white actors. But the rest are appropriately matched, I think.

Katara:

choice 1: Kristen Kreuk (Caucasian/Chinese)

choice 2: Maggie Q (Vietnamese/Taiwanese)

Sokka:

Roger Fan
This guy is such a cutie. I'm partial to him in this role too, as then I can claim my b/f looks like Sokka. XD

He's such a dorky goofnut, too. "Water triiiibe." XD

Zuko: This is hard. I don't see Zuko *completely* Asian (as I don't either with Azula), if only because of his pale skin and more delicate features - so I think he'd be a happa (half Asian/Caucasian). One of these three *tries not to drool*-

Rick Neely (Korean/White)

Jason Milot (Korean/French Canadian)

Mike Lewis (Indonesian/ Canadian)

God, those men are hot. What is it with half-Koreans? Fuck.

Anyway, moving on.

Happas make great choices for some of the other characters, as well.

Suki: Tiffany Hsu (Taiwanese/Caucasian)

Toph: Lara Liang (Taiwanese/Russian)

But for the old Fire Nation guys, it's back to the cultural origins.

Ozai: Andy Lau

Iroh: Tony Leung (have to fatten him up a bit, but he's in his 50s so he's perfect for this role)

Azula: Leah Dizon (French American/Chinese Filipino) Sexy deadly ~~bitchy~~ princess.

Mai: Chiyaki Kuriyama (Japanese, of Kill Bill fame) hahahahahaha Srsly, she's actually pretty cute, but she does that "ho-hum boooorrred" look pretty damn well. XD

Ty Lee: Devon Aoki (Japanese/Brit/German)

(she's even wearing pink! :D)

Aang: Just cast Zach Tyler Eisen already! He has the voice and everything...

He's 15 this year (born in '93), so he's fine for the role.

Zhao: Jason Isaacs. I can't help myself with this one either; his voice really made that part. Give him some chops and he's all set.
