Netflix's "One Piece" is definitely Taz Skylar's most high-profile project to date. Hopefully, it launches his career into the stratosphere, but he already has plenty of credits. He got his start in various short films, including "Multi-Facial." In addition to playing Mike in that movie, he was also the writer and producer, and that film ultimately went on to win best motion picture at the 2018 IndieFlicks Short Film Festival.
Feature-length films and TV series soon followed, including appearing in a couple of episodes of the British comedy-drama show "Agatha Raisin." 2022 was a fruitful year for the multi-hyphenate talent, as he also showed up in two episodes of "The Lazarus Project," playing Walt.
Skylar clearly takes the art of acting very seriously, and playing Sanji in "One Piece" presented an entirely new challenge. He told Nuit Magazine how he was able to relate to this new character, "[Sanji's] trauma and his reasons for leaving are the thing that drives his behaviour in adulthood... I have my own things I was running away from and which drive my own behaviour now... But we won't go into those, that's a whole other story." "One Piece" isn't the only project Skylar has on deck. He'll also soon appear in the TV series "Boiling Point" as well as the movie "Gassed Up." As for his foray into live-action anime, fans can see him as Sanji when "One Piece" Season 1 debuts on Netflix on August 31.
