One of the biggest parts in doing a movie is picking actors that best represent there characters roll. Looks as well as acting skills are many things directors look for when picking out the new cast of members. Avatar seems to have picked a good handful of actors that play there parts well and giving there characters life to the story.
Jack Sully, played by Sam Worthington, is the main character in Avatar and I believe to be a good
fit for this roll. Looking like some normal guy who ended up in this weird alien planet helps add to the character he is playing and makes it more enjoyable for the viewers. As the movie continues, Jack grows as a character leading the audience to grow with him while he explores the world that is less know to humans.
Stephen Lang, playing Colonel Miles Quaritch, is a military man on the base who stands out from the other men. He seems to follow his own lead and is a 'get it done' type of guy. “I didn’t play a villain; I played a man who is doing his job the best way
that he can,” Stephen Lang says after being interviewed about his character he plays. His character plays an important part in this film for he is another threat that is added to the movie against the Na'vi people. Even though his character ends in the movie, I believe him to be an important part in this film.
Neytiri, played by Zoe Saldana, is one of the main Na'vi people on this planet called Pandora. She is the one to show Jack how to live as one of them and shows him many new things as he grows feelings for this alien women. She is a perfect fit for this roll
even though her body and face do not show on the screen, but her voice and movement line up well with her alien like character. Without this character then the audience would not have a close feeling to the Na'vi people and would have a different feel to the movie if the character was left out.
Characters with main parts to one time shows in a film doesn't matter when you are making a movie that the world will see. Everyone must play there part for characters are the reason why stories are so important and help give the audience feeling from happy to sad parts in a film. These cast of people fit well in this would of Avatar and play there parts well for an amazing feel for the movie.
