We got the opportunity to sit down and chat with South African actor Steven John Ward during Comic Con Africa 2023, who is best known for playing the Warlord of the Sea, Dracule Mihawk, in the live-action One Piece series on Netflix. Ward opened up about his experience with doing physical stunt work during the filming of One Piece season 1, getting to know the cast and of course, how it feels to wave a big sword around.
Steven John Ward talked about his past work and road to get to where he is now, starting off small with theatre work before climbing his way to star in various local and international television shows and movies. This culminated in him being cast in the live-action One Piece, where he talked about doing some difficult physical stunts, learning how to use a sword and getting along with the likeable cast of the show.

The only complaint I had from season 1 was "not enough Mihawk."

Imagine showing 30 minutes of your scenes but you have prepared for months and months. That's dedication and respect

I am hoping that all the OPLA cast will be recognize and be hire more. All of them are genuinely good and fun people. Which is quite hard to see recently in Hollywood nowadays.

We should get a brief cameo in season 3 or 4. But no proper screentime until season 6 unfortunately.

Idk I think he should have kept this real true humble man voice for Mihawk (not this body language). I'd appreciate a non-dramatic rigid Mihawk way more, he's the epitome of strength, disciplined, and independence when I was first introduced the character.
