Who voices General Iroh, the United Forces member in The Legend of Korra?

Dante Basco voices General Iroh in The Legend of Korra.

General Iroh is a United Forces commander and the grandson of Fire Lord Zuko. He appears as part of the United Republic’s military, reflecting the political changes that followed the Hundred Year War and the founding of the United Republic of Nations.

Basco’s casting creates a deliberate link with the earlier Avatar series: he also voiced Prince Zuko, Iroh’s grandfather, throughout Avatar: The Last Airbender. The younger Iroh’s name honors Zuko’s uncle, the wise Fire Nation general from the original series, but the two characters are separate people.

This role is easy to confuse with Uncle Iroh. In The Legend of Korra, Uncle Iroh is voiced by Greg Baldwin, while Dante Basco voices Zuko’s grandson, General Iroh. Basco also played Rufio in Hook and voiced Jake Long in American Dragon: Jake Long.
