Netflix Selects Ideal Performer for Bentham in the Hit Series Season 3
Baroque Works is geared up to play a huge role in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, though the real showdown won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed this week that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will portray Bon Clay. Bon Clay can use their power to change into an identical duplicate of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will depict a version of that character reimagined as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag artist, in the live-action show, unlike the original manga and cartoon version.
This performer is joined by a number of recently announced actors set to bring the group to the screen, such as chief the main antagonist, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who will appear as the cast as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.
Although the role is a key figure of Baroque Works, the character won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering the second season likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this signals a major departure in the placement of the character’s debut, one that could indicate further changes to the plot development.
Escola’s blend of precise humor and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the part. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s widely praised characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
