    But I don't think he fits the part though.

    lol is like a wrestler or something?

    yup, I'd post a pic but my computer's settings make it were I can't copy and paste some things. It's really annoying.

    which actor is that? I don't Regonize him.

    That would be Hugo Weaving. He played Agent Smith in The Matrix trilogy.

    to me, no one really looks asain in that show lol. I just imagine casting everyone as white. Except for Katara. I'd cast someone a little darker, which is why i casted Mila Kunis. (look like on page 2 i dont feel like reposting the pic)

    The idea of having a world set in an Asian setting with many of the characters having Asian names and Asian inspired clothes just seems like a rip off to me if they were cast with Caucasian people. Although there a lot of 'brown' Asians, I think Katara should be cast by an Inuit person. I mean geez. Asians and Natives are hardly cast in anything...

    Nathan Jones as Combustion Man. He may be a little to big at 208 cm 155 kg of muscle. The picture doesn't work. Google him.
