Steven really genuinely looks like he enjoys being Mihawk, and I love watching him
Agreed!
@@OnePieceOneMillionFans thanks for the fun interview!
@@hasquita my pleasure! Hope to do more!
@@OnePieceOneMillionFans 🍻
I always laugh at the "project panda" name in this story - how subtle of them XD
Lol yes!
They later changed it to proyect Roger lol
I was looking for panda-man the whole show, but I was looking too close
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.
Good question
Actually zoro is more popular but I prefer Mihawk ❤
Secret answer: there are more Shanks fans ♥️
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.
Agreed, yes!
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.
Agreed!
zoro has watched this video 30 times, in admiration XD
lol indeed
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
Agreed and I would love to interview Peter Gadiot! I first saw him in Yellow jackets. Great actor!
@@OnePieceOneMillionFans IKR!!! I heard from another interviewer that they tried to contact his team and they never got back. Maybe you can try???
I will definitely try! @@TheFistOfNuevaYork
@@OnePieceOneMillionFansOMG he's so quiet!!! never seen him in fancon or online interview😭
@@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
He can switch accents really quick, that's probably one of the reasons they why casted him as Mihawk.
He is amazing at accents, yes!
We need him in every season he is a blessing
Agreed!
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.
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.
Agreed! Would love to interview Jeff too
@@thestarkster9940indeed, hopefully more in the future
@@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.
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. ^^
Couldn't agree more!
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!
Well, it definitely did not break his career! He is awesome as Mihawk and the show is fantastic!
What a lovely man!!! Thank you for the interview.
He is! Our pleasure!
@@OnePieceOneMillionFans ❤ (More comment to boost this video and pushes the algorithms.)
@@MagisterialVoyager hahah thank you!
Handsome out of costume as well. I want to see him more.
A handsome dude indeed!
This show literally has the most attractive cast ever lol
@@TheFistOfNuevaYork agreed
@@thelordoftheweebs9501like wow and I thought the anime characters were good looking 🤯
Great Interview, I love Steven as Mihawk and I was so glad when I followed him on instagram and saw what an amazing person he is. It's true that he always reads or answers our messages! I would love if he could come at a convention to Greece! I really hope he can spend more time with his family
Great guy and I am sure he will try his best to go to as many cons as he can! Yes, hopefully he can see his family in between all of this 😃
Lol the Mihawh Scar voice part trippy, specially considering he kind of has the same eyes 😂
Lol indeed!
As in scar from the Lion King😀
@@beverlywhatisthenameofthem98yes! Steven’s story is that his daughter was watching Lion King and he heard Scar’s voice and decided to use it for Mihawk
Such a good interview and so nice to hear story of the set and the South African community.
Thank you! Yes, I would like to interview more of the South African actors!
33:30 From literally everything I have EVER heard throughout Jamie Lee Curtis's career............she is a fucking dream to work with!! (as long as people aren't assholes)
Yes! Can't wait to see her in the show. It is gonna happen 😊
@@OnePieceOneMillionFans Matt Owen want her in it and i hope both party find the result they want.
@@nicolaskaito4769 I have a strong feeling that we will see it happen!
@@OnePieceOneMillionFans Still can't wait to see how they will do Chopper.
I loved the interview!! Thank you for organizing it! It helps with the waiting time for season 2 and I learned some new stuff :D
You are welcome! Hope to interview more people!
one of the best interviews ive watch tbh
Thank you!
I loved this interview! Thank You Steven John Ward! You're an awesome guy! I really hope I can meet you at a meet and greet sometime. I would love a hug and a few phrases spoken in "Mihawk"! Thanks again for what you do!!! Your attitude about all of this is amazing, and what a great human being you are. Respect!!!
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.
Nice! Agreed!
He nailed Mihawk very well ngl
Yes!
I love this interview. Thanks 🙏. Steve is very kind ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! Yes a great human!
that's mihawk 💯 😎
Yes!
I loved the live action so much that I started the anime. I'm at Ep 880 already
Amazing! So glad the live action got you into the anime!
Great Interview!
thanks! feel free to share!
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 😮
Realize mihawk and buggy actor has the same last name
😂😊
If they get a Ward to play Crocodile, they can rename the Cross Guild into the Ward Guild 😂
Can’t wait to see Mihawk again in season 5 🎉🎉🎉
Yessssss
I hope one day we will be able to see all the versions of the reshot scenes
That would be amazing!
Just gotta feed luffy and he can dismantle your local government for you if you ask him to 😂
😂
Danny Devito would be an excellent Walpole. Thanks to Tamir Verse putting the thought in my head!!
I can see it too!
@@OnePieceOneMillionFans we do need a bad guy when we go to get Chopper!!
Steven looks like an amalgamation of a young Michael Wincott and James Franco.
I see it!
From libya
.

Nice interview
thanks feel free to share!
I saw people wanting Danny DeVito to play Crocus and I think it’ll be a great idea
I'll take it!
nah Danny DeVito should play Wapol :D
@@BlackLotus30 Not bad actually, suits him as well
Great interview!! 🍖🍖🍖🍖🍖 5/5
Arigato!
i hope he show up in season 2
Same!
❤❤
He would be perfect for a bleach character
Agreed 🎉
Well done sirs
Thank you!
New video with him here! czcams.com/video/FfqGR6MSu9Q/video.htmlsi=iE3uz86HtMWvc5bO
YESSIRRRRR 🫡
❤

Lol gaimon!
sagituarins are always fight me, ill go beyond

Thank you!
@@OnePieceOneMillionFansare you a MegaMan fan?
58:00 *cough*SeanSchemmel*cough*
Lol oh right, that guy
マッケンよりも見栄え良くするする必要があった😂 世界最強の剣士ミホーク💯⚔️
Yes!
we must protect SJW at all time!
Agreed
It only takes one to ruin it for everyone else
Who are you referring to? 😅
Sorry. What I meant was it only takes one obsessive person to ruin it for everyone else.
@@tressiascott7806 oh you are referring to the crazy fans, gotcha! 😃
"Charities"... aka tax reductions.
🤷♂️
