The Netflix adaptation of Avatar: Lord of the Elements has been streaming since the end of February. One actor in particular stands out among the cast: Paul Sun-Hyung Lee. The Uncle Iroh actor has been on YouTube and Twitch for several years and is considered a big nerd.
The Netflix adaptation of Avatar: Lord of the Elements is enjoying huge popularity. It has been viewed over 41.1 million times in the first 11 days since its release, making it the number 1 Netflix series in 76 countries. It is in the top 10 in 92 countries. Due to this groundbreaking success, Netflix has already announcedthat the series will be renewed for a second and third season. So, if we proceed as in the original, the story of Aang could come to an end. Could the Legend of Korra follow?
The following video shows how the actors and actresses reacted to the series’ renewal

Attentive observers may have noticed that Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, the actor playing Uncle Iroh, has a pretty cool studio and microphone. This can be explained by the fact that the Avatar actor is a content creator on YouTube away from the spotlight. Above all, his videos show Lee as a huge fan of the Star Wars franchise who is well versed in both cosplay and trivia knowledge. As his Twitch account reveals, he is also a big fan of 80s arcade games and the Atari 2600.
At the moment, he seems to be streaming mainly on Sundays as part of his Funboxing Sundays
Also on Twitter the 51-year-old actor skillfully sets the scene and establishes himself as the droll uncle we didn’t even seem to know we needed. With a lot happening with Uncle Iroh in the upcoming Avatar seasons, as a fan at least, I’m particularly excited to see how Lee will play his version of the wise counselor. We can be curious
