My Take
Ringer fascinates me as a case study in the strange arithmetic of child stardom. A Dallas kid with a taekwondo background, he was plucked to headline The Last Airbender, a role that demanded exactly the physical fluency he already had, then appeared in Cowboys & Aliens before stepping away from the spotlight almost entirely. I find that quiet exit more interesting than many long careers. It suggests someone who experienced the blinding heat of Hollywood and chose normalcy over it. Whatever he is doing now, there is something admirable about a young person who tasted fame and decided it did not own him.
