My Take
Taz Skylar is one of those performers who makes you do a double-take once you learn his backstory — born in Tenerife, raised with that Atlantic island energy, and somehow ending up as one of the most talked-about breakout stars of 2023. His casting as Sanji in Netflix's live-action One Piece was the kind of role that could have gone badly wrong, but Taz absolutely owned it: the charm, the fighting stances, the ridiculous eyebrow. What I find genuinely impressive is that he's not just an actor for hire — he wrote and starred in Gassed Up and had an off-West End play, Warheads, under his belt before any of this. He's a creative who happens to be very good on camera, and that combination is rarer than it looks. Still in his late twenties as of 2024, the ceiling on this guy is hard to see.
