Remember the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender show from earlier this year? It was a huge hit, and will be coming back for two more seasons. I can barely remember that show, and I’m pretty sure I was lukewarm about it. But they have now cast actor Miya Cech as Toph Beifong, the Earthbender!

Toph is a great character, obviously, so hopefully Cech can bring even a fraction of her charisma from the cartoon into the live action show. I don’t know Cech’s work, but good for her landing this role in this hit show! I look forward to watching the show going forward.

I’m not sure when it will return, but the live action Airbender (and Earthbenders!) will be back on Netflix one of these days!
