Netflix Chooses Spot-On Actor for Bentham in the Hit Series Upcoming Installment
The Secret Organization is set to play a huge role in Netflix’s upcoming season of One Piece, although the real showdown isn’t set to occur until season 3, and a adored, popular member has just been cast.
The streaming service revealed recently that the talented performer has joined the One Piece cast for the third season and will portray Bentham. Bon Clay has the ability to morph into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve made contact with with their right hand. Escola, who is gender non-conforming and goes by they/them, will play a version of that character reimagined as non-binary, instead of as a drag performer, in the live-action series, differing from the initial comic and animated series.
This performer will work alongside a number of fresh additions set to bring the organization to life, including head Mr. 0, played by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as another operative, and an accomplished actor, who will appear as the cast as the ruler of the fictional land.
Though the role is a key figure of Baroque Works, the individual won’t appear until One Piece season 3. Given the next season expected to adapt the Little Garden storyline, this marks a significant shift in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal additional alterations to the plot development.
The actor’s combination of precise humor and deep sensitivity makes them a perfect fit for the part. In addition to their latest vocal work in the animated feature Boys Go to Jupiter, they earned widespread acclaim and several accolades for penning and acting in the successful stage production Oh Mary!, showcasing the adaptability they’ll add to one of One Piece’s most celebrated roles.
Netflix's live-action One Piece show is scheduled to come back for its next installment on March 10th, 2026.
