Avatar Aang

Character: In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Cormier portrays Avatar Aang. Aang is the titular character who also happens to be the last known Airbender in the world. Aang was frozen in an iceberg for 100 years as the Fire Lord and the ruthless Fire Nation began their conquest of the world. As a bridge between The Last Airbender's Four Nations, it is Aang's duty to stop the Fire Nation by learning the bending elements of water, earth, air, and fire. In The Last Airbender season 1, Aang prevented the fall of the Water Tribes, turning his attention to the Earth Kingdom in season 2.

Kiawentiio as Katara

Date of Birth: April 28, 2006

  • Active Since: 2019

Actor: Kiawentiio, born Kiawenti:io Tarbell, is a Canadian actor born in the Mohawk nation of Akwesasne, Ontario. Kiawentiio also has a singing career, though her acting credits began in 2020 with a Mohawk film called Beans. Kiawentiio then went on to appear in TV shows like Anne with an E, Rutherford Falls, and Marvel's What If...?. Like Cormier, Kiawentiio's breakout role came in Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Katara

Character: Kiawentiio plays Katara in The Last Airbender, a girl from the Southern Water Tribe who uncovers Aang 100 years after he was frozen in the iceberg. Katara ed Aang on his journey to the North Pole as a way of both saving her sister tribe from annihilation and learning Waterbending herself. Kiawentiio was good with what she was given in season 1, but many agree Katara's depiction is something The Last Airbender season 2 needs to fix, hopefully giving the character more of the fiery, ionate personality she holds in the source material.

Ian Ousley as Sokka

Date of Birth: March 28, 2002

  • Active Since: 2019

Actor: Ian Ousley is an American actor born in College Station, Texas. Ousley's career is exclusively limited to TV roles thus far, with his earlier roles coming in shows like Sorry for Your Loss, Thirteen Reasons Why, Young Sheldon, Big Shot, and Physical. Like the other two actors that make up the show's central trio, Ousley's breakout role came in The Last Airbender.

Sokka

Character: Sokka is the older brother of Katara, also from T's Southern Water Tribe. Sokka is initially skeptical of Aang, yet agrees to help guide him to the North Pole alongside Katara. Sokka's primary arc revolves around shirking the expectation for him to become a warrior of renown, one revered for his bravery and strength, with the character instead showing a desire to use his smarts and tactical knowledge to defeat the Fire Nation. In The Last Airbender season 2, Sokka will continue journeying with Aang and fighting against the Fire Nation.

Miya Cech as Toph Beifong

Date of Birth: March 4, 2007

  • Active Since: 2015

Actor: Miya Cech is an American actress born in Tokyo, Japan. Cech's work began slightly earlier than her costars, appearing in one-off appearances in shows like Hawaii Five-0, American Horror Story, and Arrow. Other roles include Are You Afraid of the Dark?, The Astronauts, The Santa Clauses, Surfside Girls, and Beef. The Last Airbender will likely be Cech's breakout given that it is her first main role in a big-budget Hollywood TV series.

Character: Toph Beifong is the primary new character that will be introduced in Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2. Toph is the blind only child of an incredibly rich family in an Earth Kingdom town. However, unbeknownst to her parents, Toph is a master Earthbender whose heightened senses allow her to exhibit powers unlike any others, resulting in her being the Earthebending trainer of Aang.

Toph is the only character in Avatar: The Last Airbender to receive a surname.

Dallas Liu as Prince Zuko

Date of Birth: August 21, 2001

  • Active Since: 2009

Actor: Dallas Liu is an American actor born in Los Angeles, California. Liu's earliest appearances came in martial arts-centric movies and shows due to his background. Some of these movies include Tekken and Mortal Kombat: Legacy. Other TV roles include Legendary Dudas and Pen15. The actor also appeared in a brief role in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, yet Avatar: The Last Airbender will prove to be Liu's breakout role just as it will for his costars.

until

Character: Liu plays Prince Zuko in Avatar: The Last Airbender, the primary antagonist of season 1. Zuko is a prince of the Fire Nation who was banished by his father for speaking out against the Fire Nation military. In order to return and regain his honor, Zuko was tasked with tracking down and capturing the Avatar, the last threat to the Fire Lord's power. However, The Last Airbender shows he is much deeper than simply an evil, mustache-twirling villain, as season 2 will continue to prove now that he has been dubbed a traitor for opposing the Fire Nation's iral Zhao.

Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Uncle Iroh

Date of Birth: August 16, 1972

  • Active Since: 1995

Actor: Paul Sun-Hyung Lee is a Canadian actor born in Daejong, Chungnam, South Korea. Lee's early career consisted of smaller TV roles and movies until he was cast in the public eye slightly more with the Canadian soap opera Train 48. After this, Lee appeared in the likes of 2014's RoboCop remake and Degrassi: The Next Generation. After these appearances, Lee received his breakout role in Kin's Convenience, leading him to be cast in Star Wars TV shows like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, and Ahsoka before Netflix's The Last Airbender.

Uncle Iroh

Character: Paul Sun-Hyung Lee plays Iroh in The Last Airbender, the uncle of Prince Zuko. Iroh is the more benevolent, kindhearted brother of Fire Lord Ozai who has always cared for Zuko. Upon Zuko's banishment, Iroh opted to go with his nephew so that the exiled prince had some family with him on the fool's errand issued by his father. Iroh is dubbed the Dragon of the West, an indicator of his past strength as a general of the Fire Nation, with Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 promising to delve deeper into Iroh's past.

Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai

Date of Birth: August 4, 1968

  • Active Since: 1992

Actor: Daniel Dae Kim is an American actor born in Busan, South Korea. Some of Kim's earlier roles came in superhero movies like 2003's Hulk and Spider-Man 2, with more prominent TV roles including Crusade, Miss Match, Star Trek: Enterprise, ER, and 24. Kim's breakout role came in 2004 when he was cast in Lost, with Kim since becoming somewhat of a character actor since then.

Character: Fire Lord Ozai is the central villain of Avatar: The Last Airbender, the villainous tyrant who wishes to conquer the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes in the name of the Fire Nation. Much like in the animated version of the show, The Last Airbender does not present Fire Lord Ozai with much comion or sympathetic motivations, instead having him serve as the show's big bad for Aang to overcome. Interestingly, Ozai did not appear until season 3 of the original show, meaning it is somewhat of a mystery what his role will be in The Last Airbender season 2.

Elizabeth Yu as Princess Azula

Date of Birth: October 6, 2002

  • Active Since: 2021

Actor: Elizabeth Yu is an American actor born in New Jersey. Yu's career is much less fleshed out than her costars, with her first appearance coming in a movie named Somewhere in Queens. Yu then appeared in a 2023 movie titled May December before appearing in the 2024 movies Year One and Womb. Undoubtedly, Yu's breakout role is also The Last Airbender, a show that will promise to give her a bigger catalog of roles in the future.

Azula

Character: Elizabeth Yu portrays Azula in The Last Airbender, the sister of Zuko and the princess of the Fire Nation. Unlike Zuko who is more like his kindhearted uncle, Azula is much more ruthless and shows the tyrannical tendencies of her father. In The Last Airbender season 1, Azula's role primarily served as an origin, showcasing how she gained her father's favor over Zuko and her ability to be an asset in her father's war. Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 will give Azula a much bigger role as she hunts down Aang while furthering the Fire Nation's war efforts in the Earth Kingdom.
