Where You Know the One Piece Live-Action Cast From

The live-action One Piece cast doesn’t necessarily contain any A-list big-name stars. The show seems to be relying on the popularity of the manga and its anime adaptation to drive interest toward the ensemble series, though, that doesn’t mean these performers haven’t been seen before in recognizable properties.

Peter Gadiot held a main role in ABC’s short-lived Once Upon a Time spinoff, Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, playing Alice’s true love Cyrus. He has also held a main role on the USA Network crime drama Queen of the South, appeared on two episodes of Supergirl, and most recently played the recurring role of Adam Martin on Showtime’s Yellowjackets. Likewise, while Aidan Scott’s career began more recently, he can be seen playing a small role in Netflix’s The Kissing Booth 2.

Vincent Regan has also held a variety of recognizable roles, largely in swords and sandals titles including 300, Troy, and Clash of the Titans. He will also be appearing in the Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom cast as King Atlan, taking over the role from Zack Snyder’s Justice League star Julian Lewis Jones and the first Aquaman‘s Graham McTavish. With this cast behind it, One Piece is making sure its ensemble is filled out with interesting and unique onscreen presences, as these images reveal.
