The Streaming Giant Selects Perfect Actor for Bon Clay in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment

The Secret Organization is geared up to exert significant influence in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the major clash won’t unfold until the third season, and a beloved, audience-beloved member has recently been selected.

The streaming service revealed recently that the skilled actor is now part of the One Piece cast for the third season and will play Bentham. Bon Clay has the ability to morph into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve made contact with with their right hand. The performer, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will portray a interpretation of that figure reinterpreted as non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action show, as in the original manga and cartoon version.

The new cast member is joined by a number of new cast members who will portray the group to the screen, including chief the main antagonist, portrayed by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and a familiar face, who will appear as the ensemble as the monarch of Alabasta.

Even though the role is a key figure of the group, the persona won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Given season 2 likely to portray the Little Garden segment, this signals a major departure in the schedule of the character’s debut, one that could signal further changes to the narrative framework.

The actor’s combination of precise humor and profound feeling makes them a perfect fit for the role. Along with their current animated role in the animated coming-of-age film Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for writing and starring in the popular theatrical show Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated characters.

The platform’s adapted One Piece program is due to premiere for its second season on the tenth of March, 2026.
