Oooh, Oded Fehr would have been awesome. He's fucking HOT. Way hotter than Jake Gyllenhaal.

Claiming that the Last Airbender is whitewashing by casting a white actor in the lead is baloney, because the original cartoon (Avatar) was created by two white guys; it just happens to draw cultural references from a variety of Asian cultures. You might notice that in the cartoon itself none of the main characters look particularly Asian. Aang actually looks like one of the creators, who is of Italian descent. As I see it, the original cartoon was made by a couple of cultural fanboys.
