The Streaming Giant Chooses Ideal Actor for Bon Clay in One Piece Season 3
Baroque Works is set to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the real showdown won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, fan-favorite member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed recently that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bentham. The role can use their power to change into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will play a rendition of that role reimagined as non-binary, instead of as a drag artist, in the live-action show, as in the source material and anime.
This performer joins a number of new cast members set to bring Baroque Works to reality, including leader Mr. 0, played by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the lineup as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Though this character is a major member of the organization, the individual will be introduced in One Piece season 3. With the second season set to cover the Little Garden storyline, this marks a significant shift in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal further changes to the narrative framework.
Their mix of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a standout choice for the character. In addition to their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and multiple awards for writing and starring in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, highlighting the versatility they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s widely praised roles.
Netflix's live-action One Piece program is due to premiere for its next installment on March 10, 2026.
