The Streaming Giant Casts Ideal Actor for Bentham in the Hit Series Third Season
The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, although the real showdown isn’t set to occur until the next season, and a adored, popular member has recently been selected.
The streaming service revealed Tuesday that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will play Bentham. Bon Clay has the ability to transform into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve made contact with with their main hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will portray a version of that role reimagined as non-binary identifying, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action show, differing from the initial comic and animated series.
The new cast member will work alongside several other fresh additions tasked with bringing the group to the screen, including head the main antagonist, played by the well-known actor, a talented actress as another operative, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Although Bon Clay is a important part of Baroque Works, the character won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering the next season likely to portray the Little Garden storyline, this marks a major departure in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could indicate additional alterations to the narrative framework.
Their mix of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the character. Besides their latest vocal work in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they garnered significant recognition and numerous honors for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s most celebrated figures.
Netflix's live-action One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its season two on March 10, 2026.
