Toph Casting Predictions

Postby Hatter on Wed Jun 24, 2009 1:36 pm

Okay, so A lot of people have been giving their opinion about how they think Toph BeiFong should be casted, but WHO do you think would make a good Toph? Personally, I like young actress Zoe Weizenbaum.
I know she's 5 years younger than Toph, but she has a lovely ageless quality (Much like Rathbone) and I think she would play the part right. Plus I wouldn't mind them aging Toph a little. She has attitude, and has proven herself a capable actress, not to mention that she is a lovely girl.

What do you guys think?

Yes I know there is already a thread for Jiao Xu, but it seemed very dead. I also think she'd make a lovely Toph, but it's hard to find pics of her NOT crossdressing. -.-;;

OOOH!! Zoe would be so perfect for Toph!! :D I can't think of anyone to play Toph, really... but Zoe is a really good idea! And, it doesn't really matter if she's younger than Toph, since she'll age over the course of the movies... :)

Wait, no, she was born in 1991, so technically she'd be 5 years older than Toph... LOL, I was looking at some pictures and I'm like "how can she be 7 years old?" :lol:

Personly I think I would play a good Toph! (But sadly I still can't get pic's up). But... Zoe Weizenbaum dose look ok. But I can't see her being grumpy, or with a random attitud that is requied for Toph. She looks too sweet.

No, that thread has been way to derailed, and has become more of a race discussion. This thread is for specific choices. I wanna see some pictures of good Tophs.

Speaking of which, I really wanna see you Baa, you seem so confident that you could be Toph X3

*A few miutes later*

Oh... I see the other thread has become what I intended for this thread... Underailed if you will... Well, thanks a lot Internet! Making me feel stupid again! :lol:

If you didn't see the post... I made a new account beacuse I'm going nuts with "no-number-baa" not letting me loggin! But I'll put a slidshow of pics of ME on youtube and give you the adress. By the way I'm not sure I'll get it... I just know I'm a really good at acting! But not great at the martial arts thing. I've done them, but few-and-far-bettween. And I do know I'm english... :oops: but I'm 12 (who is now practically 13) and my favorit character in the world is now up for grabs, and i have a chance for getting the part! So please bear in mide that I do recondnize that I'm english and you want me Asian. But if the "real deal" wants me Asian, then they can pick someone else.

Sorry too much info... :oops:

Lol, Asian =/= non-english. In fact, I'm pretty sure they want a uniformly anglophonic cast. Y'know, so everyone understands each other. ;)

I'm obnoxious.

Thanks everyone's been going on about how they want Asian this Asian that... I don't know it's kind of wired know your auditioning for a movie and a lot of people are upset about what colour there skin is and so on... (By the way my parents and friends say I look like Toph. But they love me and kind of have to say it. So I find it hard to tell whether they mean it or not.)

And I won't get the photos in till earliest Mon night. I'm not supposed to be on the computer right now :roll:

That's... not really what I said. You were saying that the reason people wouldn't want you for Toph is that you're English instead of Asian. It's not. The reason people would be pissed if you were cast (and I'm sorry, but they would be) is because you're Caucasian, not English. The Asians involved in the production of TLA ARE English -- they're anglophonic Asian Americans.
Your pictures are kind of hard to view. They're way too big. You should make them smaller.
