Netflix Selects Ideal Actor for Bentham in the Hit Series Season 3

The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the true confrontation won’t unfold until season 3, and a adored, popular member has recently been selected.

The streaming service revealed this week that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will play Bentham. The role has the ability to transform into an identical duplicate of any person they’ve touched with their right hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will depict a rendition of that role re-envisioned as gender non-binary, as opposed to as a drag queen, in the live-action show, differing from the original manga and cartoon version.

This performer is joined by multiple fresh additions tasked with bringing the organization to the screen, including leader Mr. 0, portrayed by the seasoned performer, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the fictional land.

Although the role is a major member of the group, the character won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering the next season likely to portray the Little Garden arc, this represents a significant shift in the placement of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could indicate more adjustments to the story’s structure.

Their mix of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the role. Besides their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the range they’ll add to one of One Piece’s highly regarded roles.

Netflix's live-action One Piece series is set to return for its season two on the tenth of March, 2026.
