He will appear in the role of Fire Lord Ozai. The character is described as the ruthlessly-driven leader of the Fire Nation who demands everyone live up to his impossible standards, especially his teen son, Prince Zuko. Ozai’s drive to conquer and unite the world under firebender rule is a family burden — he believes that it’s his destiny to finish a war started by his ancestors. The character was voiced by Mark Hamill in the animated series.

Kim joins previously announced series stars Gordon Cormier, Kiawentiio, Ian Ousley, and Dallas Liu. Cormier will star as Aang, with Kiawentiio set to play Katara. Ousley will play Sokka and Liu will play Zuko.

Kim is known for his roles on shows like Lost and Hawaii Five-O, as well as films like Hellboy and The Divergent Series: Insurgent. He previously voiced the character of General Fong in the Last Airbender animated series as well as Hiroshi Sato in The Legend of Korra, which served as a followup to Last Airbender. Kim currently executive produces the hit ABC medical drama The Good Doctor, on which he as also appeared.

He is repped by UTA, Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and Gang Tyre.

Albert Kim serves as writer, showrunner, and executive producer on the series. Dan Lin and Lindsey Liberatore executive produce for Rideback, with Michael Goi also executive producing. Roseanne Liang is co-executive producer. Goi and Liang are also directors on the show, as are Jabbar Raisani and Jet Wilkinson.

Original series creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko were originally attached to create the series for Netflix, but they announced in August 2020 that they were no longer involved. They have since announced a new deal with Nickelodeon to establish Avatar Studios, which will create new animated series and films set within the Avatar universe.

The live-action version of The Last Airbender was first ordered at Netflix in September 2018. The animated version aired for three seasons on Nickelodeon from February 2005 to July 2008. The series received substantial acclaim during its run, picking up multiple Annie Awards, Genesis Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Peabody Award. The sequel series, Legend of Korra, aired for four seasons from 2012-2014.

Paramount Plus Slated to Premiere Live-Action 'The Fairly OddParents' Series in March 2022

Paramount+, the streaming service from ViacomCBS, is slated to premiere The Fairly OddParents (working title), the all-new live-action series based off the Emmy Award-winning animated show, The Fairly OddParents in March 2022! The news was announced by the show's showrunner, Christopher J. Nowak, on his official Instagram page!


"These people. I have never experienced a cast, crew, and writers room come together like this before. This season has been an absolute joy," Nowak captioned the photo. "We caught lightning in a bottle here. Can’t wait for you all to see it in March on @paramountplus . Special shoutout to @outsmartin [Samantha Martin], without whom this show would not be what it is. I will be forever grateful to her. #fairlyoddparents #evenodder"

Combining live-action and animation, the 13-episode first season of The Fairly OddParents will pick up years after the original series ended and follow Timmy Turner’s cousin, Vivian “Viv” Turner, and her new stepbrother, Roy Ragland, as they navigate life in Dimmsdale with the help of their fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo. Production on the series commenced in Los Angeles earlier this summer. The series is produced by Nickelodeon Studios and Paramount+.

“During its run, The Fairly OddParents granted an endless amount of imagination to viewers, where no wish was too big or too small,” said Zack Olin, Co-Head of Nickelodeon & Awesomeness Live-Action. “We are so excited to build upon the ‘Fairly Odd’ universe with this totally unique experience that the new show’s incredibly talented creative team has cooked up for a new generation of kids on Paramount+.”

In The Fairly OddParents, Ty Turner uproots his life to reunite with his high school sweetheart, Rachel Ragland, in the town of Dimmsdale, thrusting his cautious 13-year-old daughter, Viv, into a new world where she does not fit in. Once there, her cousin, Timmy, entrusts his fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo, to help her adjust by taking her under their wings. Witnessing the fairy transfer take place, Viv’s new stepbrother, Roy, also inherits them and the two siblings must come together to overcome the obstacles in their path, all with the help from their new wand-wielding and wish-granting fairy godparents.

Stepping into the world of Dimmsdale is Audrey Grace Marshall (The Flight Attendant) as Vivian “Viv” Turner; Tyler Wladis (Single Parents) as Roy Ragland; Laura Bell Bundy (Perfect Harmony) as Roy’s mom, Rachel Ragland; Ryan-James Hatanaka (Nancy Drew) as Viv’s dad, Ty Turner; and Imogen Cohen as their friend, Zina Zacarias.  Original voice cast members Susanne Blakeslee and Daran Norris return to voice the iconic fairy godparents, Wanda and Cosmo, respectively.
