Netflix Chooses Spot-On Actor for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
Baroque Works is poised to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, although the real showdown won’t unfold until season 3, and a adored, audience-beloved member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed this week that the talented performer will appear in the One Piece season 3 cast and will portray Bon Clay. This character possesses the power to morph into an exact copy of any person they’ve touched with their main hand. The performer, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a rendition of that character re-envisioned as non-binary identifying, instead of as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, as in the original manga and anime.
The new cast member is joined by several other fresh additions set to bring the organization to the screen, including head Sir Crocodile, brought to life by Joe Manganiello, a talented actress as a key member, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the ensemble as King Nefertari Cobra of the desert kingdom.
Though this character is a key figure of the group, the individual will be introduced in One Piece season 3. Given the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this signals a notable change in the timing of the character’s debut, one that could indicate more adjustments to the narrative framework.
The actor’s combination of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a ideal selection for the part. Besides their current animated role in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and several accolades for creating and performing in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, emphasizing the versatility they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s highly regarded figures.
The platform’s adapted One Piece series is due to premiere for its second season on March 10th, 2026.
