Dev Patel
Let’s face it: the only highlight of Avatar: The Last Airbender was this guy. The acting and writing was just plain terrible (esp. in the case of Aasif Mandvi—too serious for such a comedic actor). Were the acting at least bearable, the only way to salvage the movie would be an additional 45 minutes, but I hear most of the test audiences just didn’t survive that experience.
As I mentioned, this guy is an exception mostly because of my little crush. Who couldn’t love this guy after Slumdog Millionaire made even a game show into a fairy tale romance? Now that it looks like there’s no plans to finish the series and imdb doesn’t have any upcoming movies on his profile, I’m not sure where I’ll get my Dev fix unless he happens to show up at my local Indian restaurant.
