Sebastian Amoruso will be joining Netflix's live adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender (ATLA) as one of the most prominent characters on the show. But before we get into that, where have you seen the actor before?

Amoruso is an American actor of Chinese-Italian descent.

He is best known for his role as Johnny on Amazon Prime's rebooted series, I Know What You Did Last Summer.

He also appeared as Wes on the 2020 Adam Lederer show titled Solve and made a guest appearance on Made in Hollywood in 2021.

However, fans are looking out for Amoruso's acting career even more now that he's been cast as the young warrior from the Earth Kingdom in Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Over on Instagram, he recently followed his ATLA co-stars and shared a bit about his future and ongoing projects.

Check out his photos from Netflix's world premiere of ATLA at the Egyptian Theatre Hollywood on February 15 in LA, California:

Meanwhile, here's a little refresher on who his character is on the show and his importance to the overarching storyline for the series.

Who Does Sebastian Amoruso Play in Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender? Meet Jet

For those who don't remember the young warrior in the original animated series, Jet, played by Amoruso in the Netflix adaptation, is an orphan and belongs to the non-bending Earth Kingdom. He's part of a citizens' faction called the Freedom Fighters.

When viewers are first introduced to Jet, he immediately appears untrustworthy to Sokka, even though (or maybe because!) his sister Katara has a slight crush on him.

In December 2023, Netflix released the first photos of Amoruso in character as Jet, which made fans comment: "Now I understand Katara."

Jet was eventually revealed to have dishonorable goals. In the animated Avatar: The Last Airbender, he planned on sacrificing the Earth Kingdom's town to drown the Fire Nation's camp, which Aang, Katara, and the others stopped him from doing.

It remains to be seen how different Jet will be in live-action, but we won't have to wait long, as Avatar: The Last Airbender premieres on Netflix on February 22.
