Jeff Ward (Buggy) Q&A Panel Highlights | One Piece Live Action Netflix

[@tentonmotto6779]

He is right, portraying Buggy without defaulting to Joker must've been really hard. Especially since the script kind of calls for a Joker take. But Jeff managed to bring his own nuance. He did not play Buggy as a psychotic villain. Instead he played Buggy as someone, who pretends to be a manic clown, but deep down is a brooding, neurotic and kind of a mundane person. It is easy to imagine Buggy doing ordinary stuff like shopping for food in a store, while it is hard to see Joker doing the same. Like how in Episode 2 Buggy's mask slips few times and he talks to Luffy in a serious, weathered way instead of laughing or screaming for the public. An excellent performance.

[@anthonyhanlon9808]

I felt like his buggy was a combo of joker and Deadpool with his own unique personality

[@chuckbatman5]

Jeff's Buggy has a lot of "disgruntled artist" energy too. He feels like a director on an ego trip, or a bad actor hogging the spotlight. You're so right that the masked mundanity is a really important part of his character, and these theatrical elements Jeff brought to his performance all service that idea really well. The theatrical bluster hiding his pouty and childish attitude and insecurity was the perfect way to make Buggy not feel like a Joker knockoff

[@thiccbaby2967]

Well buggy does have a more menacing villain tone in the start of one piece.

[@jazzycat8917]

I mean that really perfect. Buggy is a lame ass with diva energy and a never ending need for attention. He's a neurotic theatre kid on the high seas

[@DannyTanimoto]

He’s so right, long-haired Impel Down Buggy is his best look by a mile

[@jazzycat8917]

Full Ariana Grande ponytail

[@happyteedz4626]

Yonko Buggy looks pretty boss ngl.

[@missbellaiza]

I simp for long hair buggy imo

[@catedoge3206]

ye

[@otterfire4712]

Fun fact: Buggy's hair was always that long, he just pulled it through his hat and it hangs off the edges.

[@DaxSchaffer]

Oh my god, the story about Iñaki incessantly yelling for his hat and interrupting Jeff Ward's villainous dialogue, thus annoying him, is so ridiculously on brand for both of their characters. Luffy obsessively protecting his hat while not giving a damn about whatever else is happening is so quintessentially One Piece.

[@hanswurst2923]

I could imagine that, in this specific dynamic, annoying the shit out of Buggy's actor brings out an even better performance. It's just one more example of how well these actors understand their roles.

[@ONEPEAKFRFR]

Oh boy, I hope they get to Marineford he'd be hilarious

[@DevilWearsAdidas]

[@holli2437]

He definitely succeeded in having a unique take on Buggy- sly, brooding, desperate, and witty. He feels more like a con man than a clown and I really like that. Moreover, Joker you couldn’t imagine ever breaking character, but Buggy has a kind of pent up rage and resentment that he lets slip constantly. Kind of makes you feel bad for him, like he actually hates his situation in life, whereas Joker lives for his never ending game show.

[@hasquita]

His portrayal of Buggy is very amazing. He's such a good actor

[@HaibaneRakka571]

I love his humble energy after playing such a brazen performance, he clearly took the role very seriously and deserves high praise for the result

[@michael-um1ge]

Him mentioning impel down gave me chills of what's to come

[@EdgarTheOgre]

His portrayal was so damn good I would give him his own series. I want a pre-One Piece Buggy adventure!!

[@mrminecraftcubeable]

I think people are more interested in kid buggy considering who he was cabin boy for

[@seraby7151]

He could have a B plot since he interacted with Ace and other characters.

[@AcDCsama-rt5qz]

Finally seeing this man do an interview.

[@justsomeintrovertedhuman5726]

Jeff looks so gentle here but when he have make-up on as Buggy he looks really menacing.

[@famimame]

Jeff Ward is the perfect Buggy! His acting killed it.

[@thatpigboss]

jeff ward needs to play more roles!! hes so talented!! i love him more than probably everyone in the series

[@KumaTorey]

can't wait for season 2, and one reason is because Logue Town with Buggy is gonna be so fun

[@gemini0281]

He’s so damn FINE 😩 I need Jeff Ward in more roles!C’mon Hollywood!

[@KhoiV]

More Jeff Ward plssss 😩😩😩

[@RadicalAkira]

KHAAAAAPTAAAIN BUGGY!!! 😂😂😂 ❤ He even venerated Mark Hamill's Joker. He is walking under his way to become king of the pirates 😂❤

[@BrokenSoulConfession]

The Wards were scene stealers in this show. Happy for Jeff, he's a talented actor often overlooked. I hope staring as Buggy will boost his career.

[@greent26tube]

Seems like a really nice guy who cares a lot about what he does! That was fun to watch

[@gwidao123]

He's really just got that resting mishievous face like he made his parents crazy when he was a kid haha. He'd be right at home in any of this sort of role for sure

[@zxcvb3772]

My favorite character from the live action. I can't wait for Logue Town Buggy.

[@catandrobbyflores]

He was the reason i watched the show. He went all in with the Chop Chop Cannon! and i looked at it going "ok this might not suck," i enjoyed his Buggy.

[@gemini0281]

Not him leaving out Leto’s Joker 😂😂😂😂

[@bibas007]

I had a feeling he would do that 😂😂😂

[@reneXtonedeaf]

AS HE SHOULD 😭😭😭

[@Ridlay_]

Jerr Ward is a legend. He nailed Buggy!

[@kclo]

I would like to see a Jeff Ward as Sanji. Just for like 10 glorious alternative universe minutes. I like Taz, but I feel like Jeff could take Sanji in a wild direction.

[@kclo]

Actually, let’s just have him play all the characters for a few minutes each 😂

[@RidzkiSamsulhadi]

wow, well done. before I started watching the live action, I was also afraid that the Buggy character could feel similar to Joker persona, so well done to Jeff for consciously trying to avoid it.

[@Joe_334]

Buggy will always be a foil to Luffy, and the vice versa, because they both have known Shanks.

[@orlandolee4438]

Buggy DESERVES to be Luffy's arch nemesis!

[@donnymstreams4845]

Still remember him from AOS, dude collects top tier characters to perform 😮😊

[@GolDFish-if1ov]

[@arrogantgodjealous]

[@cosmicklutz1675]

[@herryjulianto8720]

[@FallenAngelBrass]

My favorite character in the series. Jeff Ward is a treasure.

[@sethmamintod2373]

He steals every scene he's in, what an amazing performance

[@Thulgore]

I just found both Buggy and Mihawk are voiced by guys with the last name "Ward". Doesn't mean shit, but it's cool.

[@Machamp-ps7wx]

I wish I could’ve been there to ask what his own fancasting would be for upcoming characters like Smoker Chopper and Crocodile

[@chinhoewong]

Cant wait all his Cop out moments in Future Seasons 😂

[@DM-bs2oz]

Best actor in all the OPLA 11/10!

[@skits_3d824]

4:50 I WISH THEY POST THAT 😂🤣 "MY HAT!"👒

[@LH_ore]

He is great. Hope he gets more work in other projects.

[@FurqanHun]

for some reason i had a feeling buggy wouldn't be like joker and that's cuz the think process of buggy and joker is different and their environment is way too different the only similarity is both are psychopathic clowns, one of em would take loan from irs and forget to pay cuz he doesnt have any while doing tax frauds and one would burn his own money so he won't have to pay irs taxes. On paper they might seem similar but they're in no way similar aside from being clowns

[@goodaimshield1115]

Buggy is everything but a psycopath though, the clown is jsut an act, well, actually, no, he's a damn clown XD

[@Antje-who]

I love that clown 🩵🤎💙 always makes me laugh 😂😂😂​@@goodaimshield1115

In the manga and anime? No not really, Joker is intimidating and unhinged, buggy is more a well actual clown, he’s a veteran pirate with an interesting past, he’s surprisingly realistic but still has a dream.

[@MrMCKlebeband]

@@jeremygeller9145 i still feel like buggy was inspried by joker... jokers mouth is buggy's nose... i mean not modeled after, but just inspired by... like how every second character in onepiece is inspired by some real figure or in reference to some hisrtorical happenings. my gut feeling when writing this is: naah buggy is way to sweet a goofball to be compared to joker... on the other hand, he did try to make nami execute luffy with a cannon point blank... that's some kim jong un type execution pocedure stuff :D i am not saying buggy is like joker... joker would not fit into the onepiece world... but if you where to make joker fit into onepiece... that's buggy.
