Netflix's One Piece Has Reportedly Found One of Chopper's Actors

As a long-time devotee of One Piece and someone who has followed its epic saga since its humble beginnings, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming season two! The announcement that Gavin Gomes will be portraying Tony Tony Chopper, one of the most beloved characters in the series, is nothing short of exhilarating.


Netflix’s hit series, “One Piece“, is preparing for its upcoming journey, thanks to the arrival of season two. This past summer, there was much anticipation as filming commenced for the new season of the live-action series. With fresh faces joining the crew, fans of “One Piece” can hardly wait to see how popular characters like Tony Tony Chopper will make their entrance in season two. Rumors abound that Netflix has already secured a well-known actor for one of these roles.

Indeed, we mentioned that one star portrays the character Chopper. This character assumes various shapes, and among these forms is the Heavy Point. Fans of “One Piece” speculate that stuntman and actor Gavin Gomes will be responsible for this role.

Information originating from the Discord community of One Piece Live Action has revealed some fresh details about Chopper in the upcoming Netflix series. It appears that Gomes has recently updated his acting resume to include a role as Chopper on Netflix’s One Piece, though the related tag was later removed. However, the news has generated buzz within the fanbase regardless.

After all, the introduction of Chopper is going to be key to Netflix’s One Piece. Not only is the character a favorite with fans, but he is definitely not an easy figure to adapt in live-action. Chopper is a reindeer whose Devil Fruit allows him to take on a humanoid hybrid form at will. Most of the time, Chopper is a cute, chibi-centric character, but there are times when he bulks up. His Heavy Point form is one such statek, so Gomes will bring that hulking form to life. At this point, the report is unclear on whether the actor will do motion capture for Heavy Point and/or play Choppersd outright. So for now, we will have to wait and see what goes down.

If you’re keen to discover when Chopper joins the Straw Hat pirate crew, here’s some good news! You can find Eiichiro Oda’s popular manga on the Shonen Jump app, and the One Piece anime is accessible across platforms like Hulu, Crunchyroll, and Netflix. For details about the live-action series, you might want to check out its official synopsis provided below:

In his youth, Monkey D. Luffy found inspiration to pursue piracy after hearing stories about the sea rover known as “Red-Haired” Shanks. However, Luffy’s destiny took an unexpected turn when he unintentionally consumed the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit, which bestowed upon him the ability to stretch like elastic…at the price of losing his swimming capability forever! Despite this, Luffy remained determined to claim the title of pirate king, and years later, embarked on his journey, a lone adventurer sailing in a small boat, in pursuit of the fabled “One Piece,” rumored to be the world’s most precious treasure.
