‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ Actor Says Changing Sokka Was “Necessary”
Avatar: The Last Airbender star Ian Ousley says that changing Sokka from the animated series was a necessary decision, and that he's fine with it.
Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender has been the subject of its fair share of discourse, but Ian Ousley has an interesting perspective. The actor who plays Sokka recently explained how he feels about changing the character from animation to live-action. Nickelodeon’s fantasy series about the master of all four elements has been a beloved source of entertainment since its premiere in 2005. Aang (Zach Tyler Eisen), along with brother-sister duo Katara (Mae Whitman) and Sokka (Jack De Sena), travel the world in a coming-of-age story that is as humorous as it is emotionally resonant. Themes such as redemption, love triangles, and grief are prevalent throughout the show.
