One Piece Live Action Mihawk - The Steven John Ward Interview

[@hasquita]

Steven really genuinely looks like he enjoys being Mihawk, and I love watching him

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Agreed!

[@hasquita]

@@OnePieceOneMillionFans thanks for the fun interview!

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

@@hasquita my pleasure! Hope to do more!

Seriously, Mihawk's character is such a dangerous role to play. The amount of people that instantly fell in love with him and the fanbase around him, I would argue, rivals even Zoro. Even though we've only seen mihawk a handful of times. I'd be curious to know if there's more zoro fans or mihawk fans from the anime.

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Good question

[@vplittleguy223]

Actually zoro is more popular but I prefer Mihawk ❤

[@TheFourthEmperorOfTheSea]

Secret answer: there are more Shanks fans ♥️

[@tkyosmith]

Zoro.

[@azizulfikri8392]

I'm really glad that the opportunity to make the show was given to people who genuinely love the series and wished to do it justice. It shows and deserves all the accolades it had got. Hope South Africa would get more projects like outside of One Piece moving forward.

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Agreed, yes!

[@AkahigeNoAmo]

I always laugh at the "project panda" name in this story - how subtle of them XD

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Lol yes!

[@KaoruGoyle]

They later changed it to proyect Roger lol

[@Ali-fx2wo]

I was looking for panda-man the whole show, but I was looking too close

[@echidnaspikes8563]

Steven's Mihawk is just incredible. I can't tell you how many times I've watched his episodes over and over again. Magnificent

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Agreed!

[@phatpat63]

The love and respect they all put into this really comes across and they did a great job. It felt like Steven was born to play Mihawk.

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Agreed!

[@thelordoftheweebs9501]

Handsome out of costume as well. I want to see him more.

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

A handsome dude indeed!

[@TheFourthEmperorOfTheSea]

This show literally has the most attractive cast ever lol

@@TheFourthEmperorOfTheSea agreed

[@TheFourthEmperorOfTheSea]

@@thelordoftheweebs9501like wow and I thought the anime characters were good looking 🤯

[@TheFourthEmperorOfTheSea]

Steven was born to play Mihawk and we are so lucky to have him!!! On a side note, do you think you can interview Peter Gadiot (Red-Haired Shanks) in the future?? Shanks is one of my favorite characters and I’d love to hear from the guy who brought him to life as I don’t think he has taken any interviews in the past

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Agreed and I would love to interview Peter Gadiot! I first saw him in Yellow jackets. Great actor!

[@TheFourthEmperorOfTheSea]

@@OnePieceOneMillionFans IKR!!! I heard from another interviewer that they tried to contact his team and they never got back. Maybe you can try???

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

I will definitely try! ​@@TheFourthEmperorOfTheSea

[@dwianggryresmiyardani6583]

​@@OnePieceOneMillionFansOMG he's so quiet!!! never seen him in fancon or online interview😭

[@TheFourthEmperorOfTheSea]

@@dwianggryresmiyardani6583I don’t wanna make assumptions about him and I wanna think he has real passion for his character, who is probably my second favorite next to only Zoro, but I just don’t know. My sister and I call him Peter “Radio Silent” Gadiot and joke that he lives in a fortress off the grid because we have never seen or heard from him at all lol

[@Trickyksa]

We need him in every season he is a blessing

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Agreed!

[@KuriousDHero]

Can’t wait to see Mihawk again in season 5 🎉🎉🎉

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Yessssss

[@TheSoulHunter69]

zoro has watched this video 30 times, in admiration XD

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

lol indeed

I love his perspective about big actors and One Piece, as someone who has been involved with the industry's behind the scenes as he, I can tell he thought a lot about this and I completely agree.

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Yes, I loved his thoughtful answers!

[@MagisterialVoyager]

[@tkyosmith]

Steven is so down to earth, very kind to his fans and has an incredible charisma.

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Agreed!

[@user-ur4nl6dq2x]

The fact he had almost no sword training and was self-admittedly bad at it at first...and then crushed the Mihawk fights to the point where he makes it look lazy; he is clearly VERY good at learning fast 😮

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Yes! He is brilliant!

[@D__634]

He can switch accents really quick, that's probably one of the reasons they why casted him as Mihawk.

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

He is amazing at accents, yes!

[@KaterynaMa]

Thank you for this interview. SJW seems like a very nice down to earth man. Really wish him only positive interaction with his fans, and hope to see more of him in the future. His portrayal of Mihawk was Magnificent!

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

You're welcome. Yes, he is magnificent

[@skyhime]

Why did One Piece work? At the end of the day, the cast n crew is in it for the craft not self glory. I love that. I hope they stay the course to bring us one piece for the next 10 - 15 yrs.

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Very good point. I hope so too!

[@ro-q7621]

I'm Soo exited to see how he's invested in One Piece and what One Piece is about. You deserve the role, I can't see anyone else play Mihawk. Thanks for being you. Stay awesome. ^^

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Couldn't agree more!

[@Thulgore]

I knew nothing about the manga the anime or anything about One Piece.........saw a reaction channel.........got a netflix subscription. This guy did amazing in the role and comparing it to what little I have seen of what the drawn character looks like...........he is as perfect as could be possible.

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Nice! Agreed!

[@Thulgore]

I want to see a panel of all of the "mature" actors in One Piece........separate from the main cast. Steve Ward and Jeff Ward seem like two dudes that would be almost way to much alike. Zeph and Garp.........similar. Just amazing what this show pulled off.

[@thestarkster9940]

Netflix really missed out not putting out more promo materials involving Jeff, Steven, and Peter for season 1. I hope they will be featured more in future seasons.

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Agreed! Would love to interview Jeff too

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

​@@thestarkster9940indeed, hopefully more in the future

[@TheFourthEmperorOfTheSea]

⁠​⁠@@thestarkster9940Especially Peter, I don’t think I saw him in any promotional material at all. At least Jeff has done a few panels at conventions and Steven has an amazing fandom presence both inside and outside professional interviews, but I haven’t seen or heard from Peter at all.

[@DristeraCrossing0]

Well, it definitely did not break his career! He is awesome as Mihawk and the show is fantastic!

[@OnePieceOneMillionFans]

Hopefully will open more doors with more appearances in the coming seasons

The LA made me a new fan. Think of how many new fans One Piece LA made. So it’s a successful production. I’m at ep560 and watching the LA was better a second time because of the Easter eggs like the way Curo adjusts his glasses. “Oh that’s why he does that!”
