Cast of Avatar
Gordon Cormier as Avatar Aang
Avatar Aang is our main character. The Last Airbender, Aang is a 12-year-old kid with the monumental task of ending a 100-year war. The Avatar is the only one who is able to master all four elements and also has a deep connection with the spirits and nature.
Gordon Cormier brings Aang to life. Before landing the role of Avatar, Cormier was a part of the Paramount+ original series The Stand. Avatar: The Last Airbender marks Cormier’s first time as the lead of a series or film.
Kiawentiio as Katara
Katara of Wolf Cove is the last waterbender in the Southern Water Tribe. The young bender doesn’t have a teacher, but she won’t let that stop her from doing her best to help Aang get to the North Pole. She’s the closest person to Aang once he’s defrosted, and their bond pushes the both of them to become master waterbenders.
Kiawentiio plays Katara in the live-action series. The actress is best known for the 2020 film Beans or her time on the Netflix original series Anne with an E.
Ian Ousley as Sokka
Sokka is Chief Hakoda’s oldest child and is the current protector of Wolf Cove. He reluctantly joins his little sister Katara on an adventure across the globe with Avatar Aang. Unlike Katara and Aang, Sokka is not a bender and instead has to rely on wits and limited fighting skills to survive these intense battles.
Dallas Liu as Prince Zuko
Price Zuko was banished three years ago and given the impossible task of finding the Avatar. While Zuko doesn’t care about the war itself, he wants to regain his birthright, return home, and get his father’s approval.
Dallas Liu portrays the short-tempered Fire Prince. Liu is very familiar with the action genre. He began his career playing a young Jin Kazama in Tekken (2010), Young Bi Han in Mortal Kombat: Legacy, and even Ruihua in Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
Paul Sun-Hyung as Iroh
The Dragon of the West, Iroh, is Prince Zuko’s uncle and joins him on his travels. Even though the Fire Nation seems to be full of ruthless killers, Iroh seems to be an exception. He’s often trying to keep his nephew from making poor decisions while enjoying Jasmine Tea.
Paul Sun-Hyung brings our favorite firebender to life in the Netflix series. Sun-Hyung is likely best known for playing Captain Carson Teva in the Star Wars universe. While he’s known for leading the rebels in a faraway galaxy, he’s also the star of the cult classic Netflix sitcom Kim’s Convenience.
Elizabeth Yu as Princess Azula
Elizabeth Yu (May December) plays the fierce Fire Princess Azula. Zuko’s younger sister is far more viscous than he is, and that’s what makes Azula such a powerful force. She’s just waiting for the opportunity to prove herself to Ozai.
Ruy Iskandar as Lieutenant Jee
Ruy Iskandar (Benders) Zuko’s crew to life. Lieutenant Jee is a prominent member of Zuko’s crew. Often working alongside the Prince and taking the brunt of his aggressive outbursts.
Lieutenant Jee has an expanded role in the series as he embodies the spirit of Zuko’s crew from the original animated show. His bond with Zuko and Iroh develops as time goes on and as he learns about their tragic pasts.
Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai
The leader of the Fire Nation, Fire Lord Ozai, is the most powerful man in the world. Played by Daniel Dae Kim (Lost), Ozai pushes his two children (Zuko and Azula) to be ruthless killers as he plans to expand their empire.
Ozai firmly believes that the strong should dominate the weak, and his plan for world domination is his destiny. The only thing standing in his way is the Avatar.
Amber Midthunder as Princess Yue
Princess Yue is the heir to the throne in Agna Qel’a. The loving waterbender has a unique bond with the moon and ocean spirits because they cured her when she was ill as a child. She also shares a bond with Sokka once he arrives at the Northern Tribe.
Amber Midthunder plays the Water Princess as the North faces off against Zhao and Zuko late in the season. Midthunder recently had her breakout role in the Predator prequel, Prey.
Utkarsh Ambudkar as King Bumi
King Bumi is the leader of Omashu and was a dear friend to Aang prior to getting frozen 100 years ago. The old ruler has seen this war ravage the world for generations, and while those around may think he’s past his prime, he still has plenty of fight left in him.
Actor, rapper, and comedian Utkarsh Ambudkar does it all. The 40-year-old talent might not be nearly as old as the King he plays in Avatar, but he’s had an accomplished career nonetheless. You might know him best from the films Pitch Perfect, Blindspotting, Free Guy, and Tick, Tick… Boom!
