My cousin would be perfect as Aang. He's 11 and has the same face. He even sounds a bit like him!

Vanessa Hudgens is Asian. 0_o Anyway, not all actors have to be Asian or Inuit. Look at the musical Evita: it's set in Argentina and is about an Argentine First Lady, but the main character is played by a British actress. Hardly anyone in that movie is Hispanic/South American/Mexican/Spanish. Eww, that movie. Madonna isn't British. She's American. Also, that's why that movie bombed lol.

^but "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" became a hit if I remember correctly. Vanessa is Asian but the Avatar characters have more of an East Asian then a South East Asian feel though if she ever gets a role in the film *goodness knows I'd faint from that atrocity* she could pass as someone from the Earth Kingdom in my book.

The song was a hit. The movie... not so much... BTW, look at this picture of some Inuits! OMG look at those outfits! Sooo Water Tribe!

Johnny Depp as Ozai...Well I suppose if he can sing he can play the Fire Lord XD. Definatly want to see Hayden Christensen as Zuko (what? we need at least one Star Wars person in the live action films...we already have Luke, let's get Darth Vader). Hayden pwns at playing uber emo people *coughDarhVadercough*

No. She doesn't look Inuit/Asian. She's pretty though.

Not all actors have to be a certain race, as long as they look the part and could act. That sounded so racist.

Well you could still have that arthritic feel even if they are not really the people they based them on. Remember they are only based, not that they are Inuit. They are different people with the same customs.

That's also a very good point but if they go with mainstream teenage actors my stomach is gonna be real uneasy depending on who they choose.
