Most Native Americans see Tonto as an offending stereotype (regardless of the fact that he actually isn't as is one of the most positive portrayals of Native Americans in mass media), so no self-respecting Native American would agree to play Tonto.

I think the only reason they got an actual Native American to play him in "Inspector Gadget" is because that movie was making fun of the Tonto character.

Besides, can you name a GOOD Native American actor that is the right age to play this character? I mean, I'd much rather have a charimstic and entertaining actor like Johnny Depp as Tonto rather than someone like Taylor Lautner or BooBoo Stewart.

Just for the record, BooBoo Stewart is playing Warpath/James Proudstar in the next X-Men movie. And if "Once Upon a Time" suddenly counts as a Disney product, then so should the X-Men movies.
