misoraHokay. 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 deadlybitchy 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.
Edit: FUCK! I almost forgot Jet.
Jay Hernandez. (With longer hair and tiger hooks, obviously.)
Mmmmm.
:D
Feel free to send flames, hate mail, and death threats this way. Kthx.

because IN REAL LIFE a 14 yr old girl does NOT give a 12 year old a second glance. But 16 year old boys DO attract a 14yr old girls attention!!
