COBRA KAI Star Jacob Bertrand Wants in on Netflix's Live-Action ONE PIECE Series

Cobra Kai star Jacob Bertrand is a big fan of Netflix's live-action One Piece series, and he wants in on that action! He doesn’t care how big of a role he had, he just wants the experience of being on that show.

During a recent interview with GamesRadar+, Bertrand was asked about One Piece, and he said: "Dude, I would be down to play literally any role. I would be a background extra that gets blown off of a boat [laughs].

“Like, I do not care. That show was sick. I grew up watching anime – specifically Naruto and One Piece is what I grew up on. And, you know, it was always sort of like the weird thing to watch anime and now it's becoming way more mainstream.

“And I'm like, you know what? Back in my day [if you liked] anime, you were an outcast. We were weirdos, we bled for this."

I love how this young actor is like “back in my day.” No, I don’t think kids in the mid-2000s watching anime were outcasts. Anime was already very much embedded in mainstream culture in those days. At least that’s my thoughts have been an anime fan since the ‘90s.

He went on to talk about how more people are into anime now saying: "Now it's cool, and I'm stoked that more people like it. I've converted so many of my friends into weebs and I get to watch shows now. And yeah, I would love to play absolutely any role in One Piece.

“That cast is so cool. I've met other cast before that just absolutely sucked and were total assholes. But the One Piece cast, those are real people over there. They got big hearts."

The actor also said of Cobra Kai that he'd been "telling the writers for years to do a tournament arc," and that we might just see one during Cobra Kai season 6 part 2.

As for Bertrand joining One Piece, it seems like he would fit right in with that cast and show!
