    Dev Patel as Zuko? Er I voted yes, in my opinion he is a pretty good actor. The rest of the cast also matters, it depends on who's chosen for this live-action film. Necessarily to me it doesn't have to be the best, just so as long as its well done and definitely worth it.

    No, he's not dead, where did you hear that? I'm sure he's still alive, otherwise they would have mentioned it on wikipedia.

    I saw Dev Patel in Slumdog Millionaire today, and I thought he did a good job. My prediction for Azula is Josefina Scaglione. For Ozai, Sergio Castellitto.

    Iroh, Zhao, and Ozai have been casted.

    Iroh will be played by Shaun Toub who also played Dr. Yinsen in Iron Man.

    Zhao will be played by Aasif Mandvi. He played the pizza store owner in the beggining of Spidermand 2 and has been on many TV shows.

    Ozai will be played by Cliff Curtis. He often plays characters from all sorts of ethnicities and has been a supporting actor for many big name stars.

    Thanks for the new info! I think they look like okay actors for the roles...but shouldn't the guy playing Iroh...be a little..i dunno...bigger? Will they just fake it or make Iroh small?

    I had really high hopes for who would play Iroh. He's okay but he doesn't really look like him, not in ethnicity as much as, well, he's a bit skinnier. I guess that is not unusual by now for the movie.

    Iroh's actor was from Iron Man!!!!!!! I loved that movie! I think he can do good! Zhao and Ozai too!

    I got high expectations for the movie and its actors, but I know not too have any over-confidence, otherwise the hijinx will enter the picture. I am ready for this movie though, this show needs a well done sequel! Whether its animation or not. Live-action sounds pretty cool.

    Toub's needs to get tubby if he wants to at least resemble his character. With Aasif onboard, we might actually get to see something about the movie in The Daily Show, which is always good publicity whether you agree with the political humor or not.

    Now all we need is Azula, Roku, and Yue and we got ourselves a main cast.

    I was hoping for Jason Isaacs (for Zhao or Ozai). I guess he's too white, am I right? *rolls eyes*
