The Streaming Giant Chooses Spot-On Performer for Bentham in One Piece Third Season

The Secret Organization is poised to play a huge role in the forthcoming season on Netflix of One Piece, though the real showdown won’t unfold until the next season, and a adored, popular member has now been chosen.

The platform declared recently that the skilled actor has joined the One Piece upcoming season’s lineup and will embody Bentham. The role has the ability to change into an perfect replica of any individual they’ve touched with their dominant hand. The actor, who is identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, will portray a version of that character reimagined as gender non-binary, rather than as a drag performer, in the live-action show, differing from the original manga and cartoon version.

Escola is joined by a number of new cast members set to bring Baroque Works to reality, such as leader Mr. 0, played by Joe Manganiello, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and an accomplished actor, who is also part of the cast as the monarch of the fictional land.

Although the role is a key figure of the group, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the third season. Considering the second season expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this represents a notable change in the schedule of their first appearance, one that could suggest more adjustments to the narrative framework.

The actor’s combination of excellent comedic sense and emotional depth makes them a ideal selection for the character. Along with 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 successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the range they’ll bring to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
