The Disney series,Hannah Montanashaped an entire generation of children. Having some beloved moments, and an iconic premise, there were more than a few reasons why this series became as loved as it did. One of the biggest was its cast, with actors like Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, Mitchel Musso, and Jason Earles.
While Cyrus went on to become a worldwide sensation through her music, the same cannot be said about her co-stars.
After its end, in 2011, very few members of its cast went on to go into acting as a profession, with a majority of them being child actors. It would seem, however, that Musso almost got a very big opportunity, that could have changed his life forever.

Avatar the Last Airbenderis one of the most iconic anime of all time. Providing a sense of companionship with the characters, the series takes its viewers through a series of beautiful adventures that make them feel as though they are a part of the world. When the original series was getting animated, Mitchel Musso, who starred inHannah Montanawas almost cast as the English voice actor for Aang.
Aang is the protagonist of the series and one of the most beloved characters in all of anime history. He is caring, adventurous, has a sense of humor, and can be somewhat naive. Musso played the role of Oliver Oken in the iconic Disney series, a character who shares quite a few personality traits with the Last Airbender.

Mitchel Musso Was Not Cast As Aang
If Mitchel Musso had been cast as Aang inAvatar the Last Airbender,he would have done an excellent job at this. While there are many reasons for this, the most prominent would be his experience in voice acting, as well as the similarities in his character withHannah Montana.

Unfortunately, however, Musso did not end up getting his role. Ultimately, Zach Tyler Eisen was the role of Aang’s English voice actor and went on to do this for the entire run of the series, ending in 2008. On the other hand, Musso joined the cast ofPhineas and Ferb, voicing, Jeremy Johnson’s character in the series.
