Straight forward, who do you think should be casted for the role of Toph? How does everyone feel about Devon Aoki?

She's a little old for the role, I think.

I don't think the casting director's very much care about age to be honest. There's a reason for that. They can't. SAG and AFTRA requirements stipulate that, to ensure a fair chance for any prospective (unionized) cast member, they be cast as to what age range they appear to be, not what they are. Since this is subjective, you can get people who are in reality far younger or far older than they appear.

For a second, I thought this was Toph from a far glace until I realized that this is clearly Haru. In the full image, Katara doesn't look too bad there.

And thus, our hopes for a "sexyfine" appearance in the film were dashed.

Korean girls are adorable.
Also, they are looking for Asian actresses for Toph apparently.
But she'll probably be unknown.

Toph is actually pronounced 'Tiff' according to Google translate.

Toph is actually pronounced 'Tiff' according to Google translate. I'm struggling for words here now, Tiff? If her name is changed to "Tiff" to be more 'culturally acurate'... *Shudders* No, that's like some modern preppy nick name for Tiffany.

Awwww I hadn't seen a picture of Haru until now! WHERE is the sexyfine?! I always thought Haru was 16-17 or older and that boy is like 11. As for Toph, I think all the girls you guys are posting look way too old for a 12 year old. Oh God I was looking for just an age example to post and I googled "young Asian girls." Yeah, I didn't get any results that I could post here. >.> Anyways, those are all grown women. Hopefully we'll get someone age appropriate for Toph, like we did for Aang and Katara.

If they don't find an Asian actress which is what they aiming for this time around. Perhaps Daveigh Chase might get the role. But her voice might be a little weird for Toph.

She's kind of old for the role, isn't she?
