Ozai isn’t just the Fire Lord; he’s also the father of Zuko, one of the main characters of the show, and is known to be a harsh ruler and father figure that no one dares oppose. Daniel Dae Kim is known for playing Jin in the beloved TV series Lost, and has also appeared in other shows like Hawaii Five-O, The Good Doctor, and New Amsterdam.

Kim was also a part of the Avatar anime series, and has voiced General Fong in The Last Airbender, and the father of Asami Sato, Hiroshi Sato, in the sequel series, The Legend of Korra.
