Noah Andrew Ringer is an American Indian[1] actor who played Avatar Aang in the film The Last Airbender directed by M. Night Shyamalan. The cast list for the film adaptation was announced on December 10, 2008, while filming began in March 2009 and ended July 2009. This was his first role and he was discovered in an open casting call for airbender in Texas. He was later cast in the Cowboys & Aliens as Emmett. Ringer attended the 2010 Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards on March 27, 2010 with his fellow cast members Nicola Peltz, Dev Patel, and Jackson Rathbone to debut the new TV spot for the film. He watched Nicola Peltz and Jackson Rathbone perform "slimebending". While on site, he was interviewed by the Los Angeles Times about the movie.

History Edit

Ringer is a regional Texas taekwondo champion as well as a fan of the television show. He was supposedly nicknamed "Avatar" because he looks similar to the main character, Aang, a resemblance further heightened by the fact Noah would regularly shave his head. When asked why he keeps his hair shaved, Ringer responded "It keeps me cool when I'm doing taekwondo."[2]

Ringer was cast for the role of Aang after submitting a homemade DVD of himself practicing taekwondo. Dev Patel, set to portray Prince Zuko, also has experience in taekwondo before he began acting. Even though he is seven years older than Ringer and a foot taller, Patel states that in a martial arts match between the two, "Noah would knock me flat on my back!"[2]

Ringer received mixed reviews with respect to his acting ability in the film from critics and fans alike although many professional reviews were mostly negative. For example, John Meyer wrote "Dallas-born actor Noah Ringer comes across as a pouty-lipped kid who seems to be reading his lines off a teleprompter."[3]

    Haha you could go SO far in depth into this topic. For real inspiration toughh, go to fanfiction.net and go to avatar under the cartoons section. Depending on how far you want to go in your story check the ratings and filter through some of the stories. Some of the M rated stuff can get real explicit, just warning you

    Noah was almost perfect as Aang. It was Shyamalan's directing than dragged him down. Noah has all the qualities Aang had when he was off stage. He could have been the same way on stage, but Shyamalan demanded that he act like a super serious and boring Avatar rather than the goofy fun-loving Avatar Aang was.

    I LOVED The Last Airbender movie! I am a 40 year old woman and cannot wait to see the sequels! And, M. Night is my favorite director next to Speilberg. I get everyone has an opinion, but what I don't get is how you don't see the talent here. What are you comparing them to? I don't get it...I guess I'm just not on the same page AT ALL...and quite possibly a completely different planet.

    So basically they cast him because he's good at taekwondo.

    I just noticed something in Noah's picture at the NYC premiere. He was wearing a white carved pendant of a bear or a wolf, possibly a Native American jewelry. Interesting... Icon_think.gif

    I think Noah Ringer would have been a great Aang; it was the script and direction that ruined The Last Airbender, although I will concede that Rathbone and Peltz's performances were pretty terrible.

      IKR?

      BTW, Nuo Sun (or "Sunny") is also in this clip. He was the stuntman who was seriously injured (and the other stuntmen killed) on the set of Expendables 2 late last year. Live-action stunts can turn deadly. Icon_neutral.gif

    Although I can agree that the movie was nothing compared to the original series, I LOVED seeing Noah as Aang. I think he was a terrific actor, especially because he NEVER had any experiance prior to the film. Don't bash him just because you didn't like the film.

      He is not a terrific actor; that is a fact. It doesn't matter whether he had any experience prior to the film, he is still bad even if he 'did okay' for a newbie.

    When did Aang and his friends become Cocassian, Indian and what ever this little boy is suppose to be? Last time I checked, Aang was of some kind of Asian decent. They don't look anything like Aang and the others, they need to do another cast, this one is terrible >_<

      hes part asian look it up

    • 71.108.139.36

      -Nathan3101- That maybe true, but Aang is full Asian, not half. I just don't like that fact that they're giving credit to people who don't deserve it. My point is if you're gonna recreate a cartoon into a movie, treat the characters like they're real people. Think of it like a documentary if you have to, you know, like they have their own personalities and backgrounds.

      -Nathan3101- I didn't, it was very disappointing for me. I guess I was just hoping for it to be...extremely accurate and very similar, kind of like the Death-Note movie :/

      by an anonymous contributor
    • Nathan3101

      YAY u like Death Note! lol. well it is based on Book one but u cant have the entire season on one movie. then people would be complaining that its too long. anyway the director should not be blamed because he was forsed by Paramount to take out 25 min of footage that would made a huge difference. it shows better acting, more interaction between the characters like sokka being sarcastic to them lol.

      -Natahan3101- Lol yup, I'm very passionate about my cartoons and such and I figured it wasn't his fault. I was reading about the reviews and his responses and such on the first movie, he seemed kind of like...dazed to me. Like 'Why are you all saying this to me?'. As for removing the footage, that sucks because anything that could have made the movie better should have stayed. As for those who comaplin about stuff being to long, you ain't a real fan in my opinion XD LOL!

    the sequel will may be out 6 years that means Noah is already 20 in that time, not good for being Aang. I hope they will make the sequel by 2012 so that Noah still be Aang. I like Noah as Aang so much.

  • 74.103.41.181

    I think he did really a lot better than The Last Airbender. Well in Cowboys and Aliens, but honestly... I think both movies were good... I don't know what people are thinking.... He may not be the best actor but he isnt the worst. I have seen way more that are worse than him. Thats my review of him, thanks for looking!
