Daniel Dae Kim has joined the cast of the live-action “Avatar: The Last Airbender” series at Netflix in a regular role.
Albert Kim (“Sleepy Hollow,” “Nikita”) will serve as showrunner on the series which is called a reimagined take on Nickelodeon’s beloved animated franchise.
Kim will portray Fire Lord Ozai, the ruthlessly driven leader of the Fire Nation who demands everyone live up to his impossible standards, especially his teenage son Prince Zuko.
Ozai’s drive to conquer and unite the world under firebender rule is a family burden but he believes that it is his destiny to finish a war started by his ancestors.
He joins a cast that includes Gordon Cormier as Aang, Kiawentiio as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka and Dallas Liu as Zuko. Dan Linm, Lindsey Liberatore and Michael Goi executive produce.
