The success and popularity of the One Piece Live Action was unexpected, given the live action curse in the anime industry. It defied expectations, maintaining the top position on Netflix, weeks after its release. Fans got to see many new faces portraying their favorite One Piece characters, especially the actors who played the Strawhats. These actors did a great job at bringing the characters to life without making their performances seem caricature-like.
The success of the live-action must have reflected well on the careers of the cast and their net-worth. After the release of the Netflix series, the actors’ net-worth must have skyrocketed. However, there was one side actor in the One Piece Live Action, whose net-worth was more than both Iñaki Godoy and Emily Rudd combined before the show aired.
Vincent Regan Ranked First with the Highest Net Worth in the Cast
Before the release of One Piece Live Action, there was a substantial disparity between the net-worth of the cast members. Among all the cast members of the live action, Vincent Regan, the actor who played Garp, ranked the highest with a net worth of $ 13 Million. This was more than both Iñaki Godoy’s and Emily Rudd’s net worth combined.
Reportedly, Iñaki Godoy has a net-worth of $ 2.5 Million. This figure might include his earnings from his role as Luffy as well. Whereas, Emily Rudd had a net-worth of somewhere around $ 500,000 to $ 1,000,000.
For the live action, Godoy and Rudd were paid $ 320,000 and $ 200,000 respectively. Regan’s net-worth isn’t as surprising when we look at his past roles in films like Wolfgang Peterson’s 300 and Zack Snyder’s Troy. The actor started his career with the television series titled ‘London’s Burning’ in 1992. Since then, Regen has appeared in more than 50 projects across film and television.
Whereas Rudd has acted in multiple Netflix films and series, namely, Moonshot, Fear Street Trilogy, and Hunters. Godoy has been acting since the young age of thirteen. He played big and small roles in The Imperfects, No Fear of Truth, and Los Elegidos.
One Piece Live Action Season 2 and More Opportunities Ahead
Besides the financial aspect, the live-action has exposed the young actors to a wider audience, expanding their opportunities in the industry. The critical and commercial acclaim garnered by the series is a good sign for their future. Currently, they seem to be engaged in the production of One Piece Live Action Season 2. Besides boosting their net-worth, it’s also an opportunity for the actors to reaffirm their range and talent to the world.
The upcoming season of the Netflix live action will cover the manga from Loguetown to Drum Island. During these arcs, the characters face many hardships as they become infamous in the pirate world. The emotions they experienced and the struggles they endured in the manga are forever etched in the heart of fans. Now, it’s up to the live-action cast to create the same magic with their talent!
One Piece Live Action is available to stream on Netflix.
