Netflix Casts Spot-On Performer for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, even if the real showdown won’t unfold until the next season, and a cherished, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the skilled actor will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bon Clay. The role has the ability to transform into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their right hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will play a version of that figure re-envisioned as non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the initial comic and cartoon version.
The new cast member is joined by a number of recently announced actors set to bring the group to reality, including chief Mr. 0, portrayed by the well-known actor, a talented actress as a key member, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the cast as the monarch of Alabasta.
Though this character is a major member of Baroque Works, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Given season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this marks a notable change in the schedule of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate more adjustments to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of sharp comedic timing and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the role. Besides their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for creating and performing in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, emphasizing the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is set to return for its next installment on the tenth of March, 2026.
