what do Prince Zuko and Jake long have in common they are both voiced by aka Dante Bosco that work we got I'm Dante Bosco I'm an actor voice actor people might recognize my voice from Zuko who out until last airbender please father only at the fire nation's best interests at heart I'm sorry I forgot a turn jake long the american dragon yeah okay haha no problem just sit back and watch and read do his thing dragon up yo the kooky movie I'm like yo Stacey talk to me talk to me talk to me baby and a few others like scorpion from the ultimate spider-man and even Romeo from the proud to most people know me as an actor I got the whole start as dancer a breakdancer they my brothers were street performers in the 80s as a group called the Street crews enough you burp on the street free successes breakdancers community scholarships to Sam so eloquently no man ballet and that less selling his first breakout role was Rufio the rebellious triple Mohawk donning leather jacket wearing leader of the Lost Boys you are for factory slug slime sack of rat guts and cat vomit don't pick up the rolling hook after a single audition so he asked Steven Spielberg why and he told me after at 11,000 orchids the audition for the role I'll do a kid that scared him at only 15 years old Dante gotta act alongside the late Robin Williams just being around Robin he was everything that she would think you would be when he was around magical stuff happen always I'm going to do the first row I think me and Robin won but how did it crumb you're not gonna says in the script and you cry I remember up to shooting I didn't know what why you can fight [Music] that's what I did even work perfect after hook Dante went on to voice a character known for one of the most redeeming journeys in animation history Prezi Co bad boy turned goodbye the end for the Fire Nation its angsty teenager and trying to figure out what's right and wrong for him in life and that's sole character art there's a theme that follows me and my characters it looks like through my life and as Prince Zuko Dante got the experience of a lifetime working with Mark Hamill aka Luke Skywalker I grew up as a Star Wars fan like everybody out there the door opens that's Mark Hamill and he just looks like hello and I'm like man I'm fangirling inside and for people that don't know this scene between Zuko and his father Ozai we finally find out how the Zuko gets us big scar on his face that he has throughout the whole series and we're doing lines like father no father I won't bite you I will not fight you oh my god I just did the Vader Luke scene with Mark Hamill and I was playing Luke Skywalker neither playing Darth Vader it was the most surreal moment of my my career and it is amazing whether you saw his face or heard his voice I'll take that as a thank you Dante is a part of our childhoods one way or another just somewhere along the way my voice got popular and then I'm pretty fortunate because voice acting became a very prominent part of Hollywood now I mean so many young actors coming to Hollywood to specifically be voice actors and things wonderful [Music]

What's more amazing is how Rufio voices them both.
