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.

@chuckbatman58 ай бұрын
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

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.
@hanswurst29237 ай бұрын
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.

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.

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
