    Maybe. Email them your idea.

    I emailed TheLastAirbenderCasting@Paramount.com and asked about extras and when information would be made available. They said,
    "I'm sorry, but we are not involved with the casting of extras. The movie will not begin shooting till 2009, so they won't be casting extras for a long time."
    The end.

    They might as well stick with "Nick actors"!

    Since they seem to be looking for "Caucasian or other" to play the role, here's Aang for you -- Right age, voice, they just need to fix his teeth a little. Paul Butcher:

    Aang

    Katara right here! Victoria Justice aka "Lola" (age: 15)

    Katara

    (All from Zoey 101! )

    "He is intelligent but awkward, and very funny (although not necessarily intentionally so). He aspires to greatness, but he tends to doubt himself. He is always one to be swayed by a pretty girl. "

    Sounds just like me. Except for the pretty girl part maybe. I can hold my cool.

    Some of my voice still hasn't cracked either. I think I'm perfect for the role but I want to know when the open casting in Los Angeles is.

    Well, the makeup thing was a joke -_-' Kilcher doesn't need makeup. she has that young and natural look that not a lot of actresses can pull off WITHOUT MAKEUP....and she's JUST 18....

    But I'm still with Kilcher. That's just my opinion. I'm not asking you to agree with me.

    But she'll be 19 or at least close to it by the time filming starts. Won't that make it weird when she and the 12-15 year-old playing Aang kiss?

    Actually, it'll be the opposite. She won't age much in 6 years. The other cast, though, will. I think it's a wiser decision to pick an older actor that looks young.

    LMAO. Well, I always thought that Kataang was a weird pairing since Aang is 2 years younger than her in the series. (oops Zutaraness showing LOL) I don't see what the problem is if Katara (live action) is 3-4 years older than Aang's live action actor.... It makes sense if M. Night will be keeping his chracters at a close age range as the orginal series.

    Aang was 12 at the start but 13 (source-Book 4: Air; Chapter 1: Forbidden Love) by the end, so that means he had a B-day somewhere in the series.

    But like I've been saying, I think they're going to downplay ages since people notice aging after 6 years and this story is supposed to take place within a year.


    i wouldnt take sources from that "episode"

    One of my friends was the snare drummer in the background of leatherheads and he got paid big money. He said it was fun on set though. I would love doing something like that in this movie.

    Well if he does/did get the part i guess they're not going to care much about skin color/ethnicity. As long as they semi-look like the characters and can pull off their personalities I'm okay with that.
