The American actor and martial artist Noah Ringer glorified his first role in cinema. He played Aang, the protagonist of The Elemental Master. The artist also participated in the films "Cowboys against Aliens", "Chronicles of Pepper" and "Conan".
Noah's kid Andrew Ringer was very shy. With great reluctance, he began to attend classes in the taekwondo section.
In search of calling
The biography of the future star began in 1996. The boy was born in Dallas on November 18 in a family with Indian roots. Mom took her ten-year-old son to the sports section, which was part of the American Taekwondo Association.
Noah was very reluctant to attend classes at the beginning. However, the boy soon became interested in training and very quickly began to demonstrate success. He took part in competitions. At the end of 2008, Ringer was awarded the first degree of the black belt.
The shaved head of a classmate caused ridicule from the guys. By analogy with the hero of the animated film "Avatar: Legend of the Aang", students called the young fighter Avatar. A striking resemblance to Aang was also noticed by Noah master Eric Pečasek.
The instructor, barely glancing at the animated series, noted the similarity of the character of the student and character. Offended by the nickname, he invited himself to see the reason for his experiences. The chagrin passed after the first episode. Noah instantly became a real fan of the project.
In July 2008, a mentor received an invitation from ATA for students. Studio "Paramount Pictures" announced the casting for the role of Aang in the film "Avatar: The Legend of Aang". Pechasek hardly persuaded Ringer to take part in the selection. Negotiations with parents were much easier: father and mother agreed quickly.
A video was sent for samples. Noah used the Aang costume made for Halloween last year. Maltz masterly demonstrated the exercise with the tree-shaped staff of Jahng Bong and read a few lines to show his voice.
Confession
A month passed, and the applicant was invited to meet with the director of the picture. The official appointment for the role took place a month later after meeting with Knight Shyamalan. To prepare for the shooting, the young artist was left a month. The boy diligently in the "Dallas Young Actors Studio" with the director of the picture Linda Seto.
Ringer did not leave these classes even after completion of work, reasoning that as an additional education they would greatly help him in his career. Before and during the filming, the actor also studied martial arts.
The name of the film was changed to "Lord of the Elements." Together with his colleagues, Ringer took part in the ceremony dedicated to presenting the "Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2010" ceremony. The performer spoke about this in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. Noah also participated in the show "Conan" as a guest.
Since at the time of filming the young actor celebrated his 12th birthday, he could not spend around the clock around the clock. The creators of the picture had to go to the trick. In some frames, Aang stands with his back. In these cases, his role was played by a boy with Noah-like addition.
New roles
In March 2011, Ringer was nominated for the Young Artist Awards for Best Actress in a feature film performed by a young actor. In 2011, the young artist appeared before the fans in a new image.
This time, his hero was Emmett Taggard and the adventure science fiction film "Cowboys vs. Aliens." According to the plot, in 1873, forgotten by everyone in the province of the Wild West, a stranger who has lost his memory appears.
He understands that he is not at all welcome here, and terrible creatures are terrorizing the town. Gradually, the hero remembers everything and realizes that only he is able to help the inhabitants.
Noah successfully continues to engage in martial arts. During filming, he began to study Wushu, Taijiquan and Baguazhang. He did not stop improving his skills in American taekwondo.
Noah made his world debut in Arkansas. In each of the categories in which he participated, the athlete took the highest place. After seeing extreme performances at the tournament, Ringer came to the conclusion that he needed training in such skill.
He began classes at Extreme Martial Arts, the School of Extreme Martial Arts. The main argument in her favor was the freedom of choice of music and movements for shows. Noah perfectly mastered various types of oriental weapons.
He perfectly owns the bo used by his hero Aang in the picture. The actor played the role of Avatar in two more films of this series in 2011 and 2012.
