"The Legend of Korra" - a continuation of the acclaimed animated series "Avatar. The Legend of Aang", which was created by order of the Nickelodeon studio. The animation consists of four seasons, which include elements such as water, air, fire and earth. Let's find out about the actors of the animated series The Legend of Korra, whose voices revived the fictional painted characters.
What is the cartoon about?
The Hundred Years War ended, and the long-awaited peace came between the mighty Aang and the capable Zuko. The Avatar and the Master of Fire rallied people who possess the magic of one of the four elements. Destruction and killings were stopped, and thanks to the young Avatar, the people became part of the United Republic. It is not surprising that after the war, Qatar and Aang tied their fates and they had three capable children, who spent their time on their last journey.
Since their world cannot exist without an Avatar capable of owning all the elements at the same time, Korra appears, who is destined to unite the forces of fire, air, earth and water again. Unlike Aang, Korra showed her first abilities in early childhood, she was born not from ice, but from ordinary people of the tribe, so the girl has a violent and capricious character, unshakable strength of mind and strong temper.
Avatar Korra
The girl who is destined to become a great Avatar, we meet in the 1st season of "Legends of Korra." She was born in the Southern Tribe of Water and immediately began to show her abilities, showing all the power of each element. So little Korra at the age of four declared herself that she is the new Avatar.
Actors of the animated series "The Legend of Korra" have repeatedly noted that this was a complex project, because this is not a simple entertaining animation, but a serious, thoughtful drama. So did Janet Verney, who voiced the young Avatar in all four books. Also, Olga Shorokhova (Russian dubbing 1 and 2 parts), Natalya Tereshkova (Russian dubbing 3 and 4 parts) took part in the work on the character. The first actress can be heard in popular films and television series. For example, "School of Monsters", "Steven Universe", "The Dark Knight. Revival of the legend. Part 2". Natalya Tereshkova is a more popular voice actress, because she took part in the Minions, the Martian, the Crimson Peak, and the Intern.
Fiery mako
The actor of the animated series Legend of Korra is David Faustino, whose voice can be heard in another animation - Winx Club. School of Sorceresses. His character, Mako, is a fiery magician who is an orphan. In the cartoon, we see a very young street kid whose task is to take care not only of himself, but also of his younger brother Bolin. He was able to develop his abilities and get into the criminal group "Triad. Secret Threat", where Mako continued to learn his magic. Subsequently, the guy was able to take part in tournaments among experienced magicians and get decent protection against crime. Actors of the Russian voice acting of the animated series "The Legend of Korra", whose voices Mako spoke, are Alexander Gavrilin (1st and 2nd parts), Ivan Kalinin (3rd and 4th parts).
Alexander Gavrilin rarely voices cartoons, investing in feature films, such as "See You", "The Illusion of Deception - 2", "Snowden". Ivan Kalinin, like Natalya Tereshkova, is a popular dubbing actor who took part in "Little Drive", in the new series "Twin Peaks" and in the film "Live".
Son Aang - Tenzin
The youngest son of the previous Avatar, who was able to withstand military action by fire mages. It plays an important role in the series, because Tenzin is a spiritual mentor who has mastered the magic of air. He will not only teach Korra, but also help her become a new Avatar.
The animated series The Legend of Korra, voiced by Tenzin, is Jonathan Kimble Simmons. This is a charismatic man, leading an active creative activity. Among the entire composition of the project, J. K. Simmons is the most experienced voice actor, because his voice can be heard both in “Zootopolis” (Mayor Zlatogriv) and in “Kung Fu Panda 3” (Kai).
The actor of the Russian dubbing is Vladimir Antonik, whose voice has already been voiced by the characters in The Rescuers of Malibu, the films Kong. Skull Island, Logan and Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. The domestic actor once again proves that a high-quality foreign cartoon requires an ideal, delivered voice.
The Tenzin character repeatedly appears throughout all four books, but the biggest role went to Jonathan Kimble Simmons in Season 2 of The Legends of Korra. The viewer will get to know the hero closer and learn his story, affecting Aang and Tenzin’s childhood.
Criminal Zahir
This character appeared in Season 3 of The Legends of Korra. Zahir tried to kidnap Korra, because this girl is the new Avatar, and she can prevent a criminal gang from building its own criminal empire. However, the leader of the gang did not work out, and he, together with his associates, ended up in the strictest prison, from which only the magician controlling the metal could get out. When Zahir was able to escape, he began a hunt for Korra. The criminal went from the Northern Temple of Air to the Kingdom of the Earth, fought with the best magicians of water and fire, learned to separate from his body and move to the spirit world in the astral plane, where he found Avatar. From a criminal authority whose goal was to reach Korr, a man turned into a liberator of the people from royal tyranny.
The actor of the animated series "The Legend of Korra" Henry Rollins, like Petr Ivashchenko, was faced with a complex antagonist, a loyal and loyal criminal who would never change his goal. Zahir is a novice air mage who learned about his abilities by chance. The voice of Peter Ivashchenko we hear literally in every popular and sensational film. A vivid example is the full-length picture "Logan", "Fences", "Spies Next Door", "Killer Bodyguard", "Arrival" and "Star Trek. Infinity".
Bolin - Mako's younger brother
The actor of the animated series "The Legend of Korra", voiced by Bolin, is P.J. Byrne, who took part in the television series Justice League, Blind Zone, and also in the feature films Ghosts Eloise and Blonde on Air. The voice actor conveyed to us the whole character of his character, who initially was a small and defenseless orphan, and later was able to master the magic of lava and earth.
Like his older brother Mako, Bolin was a criminal gang, and later withdrew from crime and joined the Fire Ferrets team. After all, together with the boy grew up his animal of the same name, which he found on the street. The audience sees throughout the series how these two friends never part, while Bolin taught the ferret tricks and tricks in order to get food or, for example, to joke with his older brother. Anton Eldarov (1st part) and Alexander Dasevich (2nd, 3rd and 4th parts) took part in the Russian dubbing.
Two actors of Russian dubbing are the main links, because they not only sound films and animated series, but also direct the projects themselves. So, Anton Eldarov most recently took part in the film "The Dark Tower" and "Doctor Strange", and Alexander Dasevich in "Split" and "Dog's Life".
General Iro
He is the heir to the throne and the prince of the fiery people, because Iro is a descendant of Zuko, whom the viewer saw in books about Avatar Aang. The character is very different in character from his grandfather and respects Korra, therefore he always seeks to answer the call for help. Once a young girl saved the general and was not afraid to join the battle for Iro, thereby helping to stop the civil revolution. This is a powerful fire mage, capable of destroying even huge biplanes. In his arsenal is not only the ability to control fire, Iro is able to create lightning and burning whirlwinds that elevate the general above the ground.
Interesting fact: Dante Basco voiced not only General Iro, but also Zuko in the animated series "Avatar. Legend of the Airanga". Moreover, the voice actor spoke both English and Hebrew.
Oleg Kutsenko and Alexander Gavrilin took part in the Russian dubbing. These two famous voices, like Dante Basco, previously voiced Zuko's voice in the previous series of the animated film about Aang. Like many domestic dubbing actors, Gavrilin and Kutsenko are sought after and highly paid professionals.

The entire cast, who took part in a large-scale project, notes that they have done a cardinal job. This is not just an adventure animation that children of different ages love. The Legend of Korra is an action movie and a comedy drama in one bottle. There is humor, and sarcasm, and the adoption of complex decisions, and love.

Many heroes are simply trying to correct the mistakes of their fathers, which led to the Hundred Years War.
Under the auspices of Michael Dante Dimartino, Tim Hedrick and Brian Koniecko, an absolutely unique hand-drawn series was released.
