Netflix Casts Perfect Star for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Season 3

Baroque Works is geared up to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the real showdown won’t unfold until the third season, and a beloved, popular member has now been chosen.

The platform declared this week that the talented performer is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Bentham. This character possesses the power to morph into an exact copy of anyone they’ve made contact with with their right hand. The actor, who is non-binary and goes by they/them, will depict a version of that role reimagined as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag artist, in the live-action series, as in the source material and animated series.

This performer is joined by several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to life, such as head Mr. 0, portrayed by the seasoned performer, an emerging star as another operative, and a familiar face, who also joins the lineup as the ruler of Alabasta.

Even though this character is a key figure of the group, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Given the second season set to cover the Little Garden arc, this signals a major departure in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could signal more adjustments to the story’s structure.

The actor’s combination of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the part. Along with their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and numerous honors for penning and acting in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.

Netflix's live-action One Piece program is due to premiere for its season two on March 10, 2026.
