At the age of 20, Mexican actor Iñaki Godoy landed a role that would likely change his career. He is the headliner of the Netflix-produced live-action adaptation of One Piece, which can now be seen on the platform. He also got everyone – including mangaka Eiichiro Oda – to interpret Luffy as a jovial young boy with the power to stretch his limbs like a rubber band.
While the success of One Piece will probably have his name on everyone’s lips, Luffy’s Translator is not his first attempt. He’s at the start of a promising career, and it’s to Netflix’s credit: Inak has actually collaborated with the streaming platform on two different projects.
Between 2021 and 2022, she played a small role in the Mexican hit Who Killed Sara, a three-season thriller that wowed subscribers. He plays Bruno, Sofia’s son and a member of the Lazcano family, whose father figure he rejects. If he shoots here in his mother tongue, Inaki Godoi also speaks English perfectly.
The Mexican actor proved it by playing his first role in an American play called The Imperfects, the synopsis of which is here: After experimental gene therapy turns them into monsters, three young men in their thirties team up to hunt down a scientist. responsible and force him to become human again.
In the guise of Juan Ruiz, Iñaki Godoy plays the superhero in this fantasy series that is tinged with humor. Released on the platform last year, The Imperfects unfortunately did not achieve the expected success as the series was canceled after 1 season. Blessings to the young actor in disguise, who immediately bounced back through One Piece casting.
