The Streaming Giant Casts Perfect Actor for Bon Clay in One Piece Third Season
The Secret Organization is poised to make a major impact in the next installment of Netflix’s show of One Piece, even if the real showdown won’t take place until season 3, and a adored, fan-favorite member has now been chosen.
Netflix announced recently that the talented performer has joined the One Piece season 3 cast and will embody Bentham. This character can use their power to morph into an perfect replica of anyone they’ve laid a hand on with their main hand. The actor, who is gender non-conforming and prefers they/them pronouns, will play a rendition of that character reinterpreted as gender non-binary, instead of as a drag queen, in the real-life adaptation, unlike the initial comic and cartoon version.
This performer is joined by a number of new cast members who will portray the group to reality, including head Mr. 0, played by the well-known actor, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek, and Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is also part of the lineup as the monarch of the fictional land.
Although the role is a key figure of the organization, the individual won’t make their debut One Piece the upcoming installment. Considering season 2 expected to adapt the Little Garden arc, this represents a notable change in the timing of Bon Clay’s introduction, one that could signal more adjustments to the plot development.

Besides their latest vocal work in the youth-focused cartoon movie Boys Go to Jupiter, they received high praise and multiple awards for creating and performing in the hit comedy play Oh Mary!, highlighting the adaptability they’ll contribute to one of One Piece’s highly regarded characters.
The streaming service’s real-life One Piece program is due to premiere for its season two on March 10, 2026.
