Avatar The Last Airbender Iroh Actor Reveals Facial Hair For Netflix Series

Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, star of Netflix’s upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender series, reveals the start of his Iroh facial hair in a new video. Though the original animated Avatar remains immensely popular, Netflix is in the midst of adapting it into live-action form. Positioned as a reimagining of the original series, the new Avatar is on the verge of kicking off production. Recent months have seen its cast get filled out; newcomers Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, and Ian Ousley will play the core trio of Aang, Katara, and Sokka, while Dallas Liu has been cast as their enemy-turned-eventual-friend Prince Zuko.

Most recently, Lee boarded Avatar: The Last Airbender as Uncle Iroh, a pivotal character in the original series. Once a fearsome Fire Nation general, Iroh serves as a nurturing mentor and father figure to his nephew Zuko. On the animated show, he was voiced by Mako until his death in 2006; Greg Baldwin took over from there. Lee, best known for playing Appa on the Canadian sitcom Kim’s Convenience, has been warmly welcomed by Avatar fans and Baldwin, and there’s much interest in seeing how he will put his own spin on the part.

As Avatar’s production is drawing steadily closer, the cast has shown signs of prepping for their closeups. In Lee’s case, that involves getting his facial hair ready for Iroh’s distinctive look. He debuted his new style on his YouTube channel Bitterasiandude Inc. on Monday as part of a special Star Wars unboxing. You can see a picture of it down below.

As Lee explained in the video, this isn’t the complete design for Iroh; the hair and makeup team still has more work to do to completely transform him into the character. Still, Lee already seems to approve of what’s in store for him, as he said that when he saw the full Iroh look “I cried.” He isn’t the only Avatar star who is getting ready to appear on the show; Cormier recently shaved his head so he could play Aang, and Fire Lord actor Daniel Dae Kim has shared a behind the scenes peek at his own prep.

Lee’s casting as Uncle Iroh was met with overwhelming approval online, and it’s exciting to see him getting ready for the start of filming. Iroh is easily one of the most beloved Avatar: The Last Airbender characters out there, and it’s important that the Netflix show get him right in order to win over fans of the original. Lee feels like an excellent choice, and with a few more hair-related adjustments, he’ll even look the part. Well, more so than he already does. This is just the beginning of all that’s to come from Netflix’s Avatar.
