The Toph actress has a growing portfolio of work, having appeared in a number of notable streaming projects, including the Netflix series Beef, the movie You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah, and television shows Young Rock and The Santa Clauses.
Miya brings a genuine passion for the source material to the role, as she is a massive fan of the original Avatar The Last Airbender animated series, citing Toph as her favorite character.
Executive producers Jabbar Raisani and Christine Boylan describe Miya as “a brilliant performer who knows how to precisely balance the sarcastic sense of humor, stubbornness, and vulnerability that is Toph Beifong.”
In Avatar The Last Airbender, Toph Beifong is known as one of the most powerful Earthbenders of her time. Blind since birth, Toph utilized her disability to develop a unique skill called “seismic sense,” which allows her to “see” the world around her by detecting vibrations through the ground with her bare feet.
Despite being the sheltered daughter of a wealthy family, she secretly became a notorious underground fighting champion, known as “The Blind Bandit,” before joining Avatar Aang’s journey as his Earthbending teacher.
Toph’s introduction in Netflix’s Avatar The Last Airbender season 2 marks the next major chapter in the live action franchise, which officially premiered its first season on February 22, 2024.
The debut season season covered “Book One: Water,” following Avatar Aang’s awakening after a 100-year slumber to find the Fire Nation threatening a world where he is the last airbender. With the help of Katara and Sokka, Aang began his quest to restore balance.
The series is moving to the massive city of Ba Sing Se, with the second season slated to air on Netflix sometime in 2026.
Avatar The Last Airbender is an animated fantasy series that premiered on Nickelodeon on February 21, 2005. Set in an Asiatic-inspired world where specific individuals called “benders” can manipulate the elements of Water, Earth, Fire, or Air, the series centers on Aang, the twelve-year-old Avatar and the last Airbender, who is the only person capable of mastering all four elements to restore balance to a world threatened by the Fire Nation.
