We're taking a look at celebrities who have voiced
some of your favorite and mysterious Avatar characters.
Can you name them before we reveal them?
I believe we are about to get results.
First on our list, it's a super composed Eska.
Hello.
And while Eska's charm can't possibly be measured,
You will always hold a special place
in the organ that pumps my blood.
she certainly gives us a reason to fear her.
I will make you mine.
You mean like a boyfriend or... or like a slave?
Yes.
Have you guessed it yet?
Leave my Bolin alone!
This celebrity voice is actor Aubrey Plaza.
Let's face the end of the world together!
You're so romantic.
Aubrey broke into the animation world with voicing characters
like our beloved Eska.
I need her alive.
[sighing]
Fine.
Now hearing it, April is the embodiment of Eska.
Don't you think?
Desna and I must return home.
But you said...
Eternal darkness was upon us.
I became caught up in the moment.
Second on our list, is the actor who plays Tahno.
Well, well, well.
While Tahno performs on the big stag,
Come on, little girl.
Give me your best shot.
His vocal counterpart performs on the big screen
and received an Oscar for his role in the movie
Bohemian Rhapsody.
Anybody else want to scrap with the champs?
If you guessed Rami Malek, you would be right.
Yeah, I'm peeing my pants over here.
Rami's first animation television series,
happened to be voicing Tahno in Legend of Korra.
Who knew Tahno had pipes?
See you around.
Next up is borderline invincible actor
who voices Avatar Aang's eldest son, Tenzin.
The Avatar state is not to be used as a booster rocket.
While Tenzin is a dutiful Airbending teacher,
In order to learn airbending, I believe you require
a calm, quiet environment, free from any distractions.
Alright. You're the master.
This celebrity is stricter with his teachings
in his Oscar winning role in the film Whiplash.
What?
Dawn Patrol!
I'm going to break you down and build you back up!
Now, get moving, Recruit!
Even though this actor has played every role imaginable,
it's impossible to hear Tenzin sound any different.
Being the Avatar isn't all about fighting Korra.
Can you hear it?
Knockout!
Oh, come on! Those were illegal head shots!
Open your eyes, ref!
That's the indistinguishable voice of JK Simmons.
He played us all.
Republic City is at war.
JK Simmons is perfect for Tenzin.
Admitting your fears is the first
and most difficult step...
in overcoming them.
Fourth on our list is the voice of the very first Avatar ever,
Avatar Wan.
My name is Wan and I will show you
how I became the first Avatar.
This voice actor is known for his role in the television serie
The Walking Dead.
And like Avatar Wan,
is used to getting himself in and out of scary situations.
Get everyone outta here.
I'll hold them off.
This celebrity voice is actor Steven Yeun.
I had to do something.
Steven Yeun made his debut in the world of Avatar
as the very first Avatar himself.
I will help you restore balance to the world.
He's controlling all four elements.
This actor's incredible performance solved
one of the biggest mysteries.
How did the Avatar cycle begin?
This isn't what I had in mind.
Don't worry we will be together for all of your lifetimes.
One of the darkest yet impressive voices
on our list belongs to Fire Lord Ozai.
Come on out, Avatar!
You can't hide in there forever!
This actor has voiced many animated roles,
such as The Joker and Skeletor.
I have all the power in the world!
Which makes perfect sense
when you hear how wicked Ozai sounds.
They did not deserve to exist in this world, in my world!
And would you believe that this celebrity's
first breakout role involved saving the Galaxy?
This should be interesting.
Well, it's true.
And Mark Hamill or Luke Skywalker
did just that in Star Wars.
Get out. Get out of my sight right now.
If you know what's good for you.
Maybe Luke Skywalker turned to the dark side
after all those years.
Prepare to die!
Just as fitting. Next up
voices one of Fire Lord Ozai's lead officers,
Admiral Zhao.
Capturing the Avatar
is too important to leave in a teenager's hands.
He's mine now.
Admiral Zhao incessantly tested team Avatar.
Whoa! Wild shot!
I'll show you wild!
And the celebrity behind the voice is synonymous
with his villainous roles in both Avatar
and the Harry Potter franchise.
In both, he serves his ruthless overlord.
This is the year Sozin's Comet returns to grant us its power!
Did you guess it yet?
The voice behind Lucius Malfoy and Admiral Zhao
is Golden Globe nominee, Jason Isaacs.
Do you miss your people?
Oh, don't worry.
You won't be killed like they were.
Putting a name to the face
doesn't quite help the case for liking Zhao more.
I'll keep you alive.
But just barely.
Next on our list voices
a character
who is a polar opposite to Zhao and Ozai.
Careful Ming.
Don't get too close.
It's Ming.
Iroh's surprisingly sympathetic guard
in the Day of the Black Sun.
Lunchtime, General Iroh.
Thank you, Ming.
This celebrity is not just an actor,
but arguably the best female tennis player in the world.
I snuck in some white jade tea.
I know you like rare teas.
Serena Williams.
What?
Serena Williams is a huge fan of the Avatar series
and even came back to voice as Sage in the Legend of Korra.
We found the Avatar washed up onshore,
but she doesn't remember anything.
Staying in the Fire Nation,
we move to the voice actor who portrays
the ship warden in imprisoned.
I am your warden.
This actor has voiced countless characters
on television and movies.
We'll get along famously,
And they made their mark in history
as one of the original 1966 Star Trek characters,
That's not really the point, is it, sir?
I'll decide what the point is, fool.
The ship warden or George Takei.
Wake up the captain.
Search the entire rig.
Sir, that was the captain, you just threw overboard.
So.
Then wake up someone I haven't thrown overboard
and search the rig.
And he did a great job of leaving his imprint
as another despised Fire Nation character.
Good day.
Ninth on our list plays the Boulder.
I beat you all before and I'll do it again!
The Boulder takes issue with that comment.
Believe it or not, this celebrity
is well accustomed to fighting.
The Boulder's gonna win this, in a landslide!
They actually made a career out of it,
And in fact, he wrestled in the WWE Attitude Era.
Excuse me, the Boulder is confused.
It's Mick Foley.
Yeah!
The Boulder knows how to put the hurt in the dirt!
And, like the Boulder,
Mick Foley knows how to give a beating,
take a beating. and cut a promo.
The Boulder feels conflicted
about fighting a young blind girl.
Sounds to me like you're scared, Boulder.
The Boulder's over his conflicted feelings,
and now he's ready to bury you in a rockalanche!
Whenever you're ready, the Pebble.
Dang, Toph.
[laughing]
This next celebrity plays On Ji in Headband.
My name is On Ji.
I like your headband, by the way.
And after voicing On Ji when she was just 14,
she went on to win multiple songwriting awards.
Don't let the headmaster catch you with that monkey.
What monkey?
Even though On Ji was a smaller role,
Hip-Hop artist Tinashe crushed that performance.
Hi, Kuzon.
I really liked that crazy dance you were doing.
Thanks, On Ji.
And her music channel has garnered
over nine hundred million views on YouTube.
It's exciting to consider how her role on Avatar
may have propelled her rise to stardom.
Wow! They look pretty good together.
Like Serena Williams,
the last celebrity on our list is a big fan of Avatar
and voiced
Earth Kingdom's General Fong...
Men, attack the Avatar!
and Hiroshi Sato in Legend of Korra.
Please call me Hiroshi.
So I understand you're dirt poor.
Um... well.
And just like how this actor gave a compelling performance
in the critically acclaimed tv show Lost, he gave Avatar fans
two completely different personalities
in General Fong and Hiroshi Sato.
I can't imagine what it feels like
to wield such devastating power.
It's an awesome responsibility.
Forgive me. These Benders...
they took away your mother, the love of my life.
They've ruined the world.
For our final reveal,
we have Daniel Dae Kim or Jin-Soo in Lost.
I know what you all must think of me.
You're out of your mind.
I guess we'll figure it out on the way to the Fire Nation.
Anybody got a problem with that?
What do you think about
these celebrity voices behind the roles?
Is there someone you think woud
perfectly suit an Avatar character?
