I know M. Night Shyamalan is famous for his secrecy.  But what can you tell us about The Last Airbender?
Well I can say it is going to be an amazing action film; it’s got the most incredible CGI. We got ILM working on it, which is Industrial Lights and Magic, and it truly is magic, honestly, at the end of the day. We are shooting on the green screen, we have a character called Appa?  Which is a big bison kind of flying bear creature?  And that’s me, I’m a big flying bear creature.

Nice try.  Okay, no, but I get to ride it.

Not a real flying bear?   No, I rode a fuzzy saddle. It was about 15-20 feet off the ground.  It’s on this kind of rocking thing… They were moving it, and there is a big green screen behind you. Night’s yelling, “Okay, you’re flying through the air now!” You’re like, “Okay, I am flying through the air now.”  And oh yeah, I had to be flying through the air, and no, I wasn’t on any drugs.

Maybe there was good liquor on set?   I can hold my liquor! I’m from the South, come on now. You know, I love Jameson Whiskey, and I love Bud Light, I keep it pretty simple.  I was actually in a bar recently, and they only had three beers on tap, and it was Bud with lime on tap! I had to give the bar tender a little, you know, guff for that one. Are you kidding me? You don’t even have Bud Light on tap? You don’t even have Lonestar on tap? You only have Bud Light Lemon-Lime?!

I hope you lamented about your lime beer problems during your Last Airbender audition.  Oh, I didn’t have to audition.  I actually had my part delivered by an owl, followed by a list of magical school supplies… No, no, I did the normal auditioning process. Actually I had auditioned for M. Night’s The Happening before… then I met Night and we hit it off.

I heard in an M. Night movie, you don’t ever see the full script….  At the audition you only get the lines you’re gonna say, but  this movie in particular based off the Nickelodeon animated series, so it’s a departure from Night’s thrillers. It’s about finding the hero within against all odds, and it’s got some of the most incredible action sequences, with all of these characters being able to manipulate the elements and being able to throw fire and throw water to block it… However, my character only gets to throw a boomerang.  That’s not as rock n’ roll as being able to bend water.

Stealing Faces by ~SimplyKitten

‘Twas cross the boundary spirit gate
where reflections cast a different look;
trees grow, swamps give way, monkeys bait—
here the master face-stealer stook.

He waited, crawling in his cave
For faces, fearing, awing, leering
Eventually every emotion gave
Then he’d theft it, all a-jeering.

Young and old, always searching
For an untold ethereal answer
Humans, mortals, needing, wanting
Begging, pleading, crying, “Sir!”

But crafty Koh loves raw emotion
Scuttling the cave’s blackened walls
Tantalizing a sick seduction
Waiting for clay masks to fall

Some slip through—a cat’s mouse dinner
Most add to his fine collection
Each steps in thinking “I’m a winner”
Each time Koh thinks “A fine confection.”

A horrid task to steal one’s face?
For Koh there is no better fate
He enjoys his cramped cave space
And he never minds the wait.

‘Twas cross the boundary spirit gate
where reflections cast a different look;
trees grow, swamps give way, monkeys bait—
here the master face-stealer stook.
