Emily Rudd has been campaigning for years.
Summary With the actor herself taking strides for years to land the part, director Marc Jobst reveals why casting Nami for the live-action One Piece show was important for him. Introduced in chapter 8 of Eiichiro Oda's iconic manga, and briefly in the pilot of the anime adaptation, Nami is introduced as a thief who specifically robs other pirates, with her motivations behind her thievery not revealed until later on. She eventually joins Monkey D.
That's a really interesting question. Emily works in the moment, so I never felt like she was bringing baggage into the room. I only ever felt that she was always responding in the moment, and that is the greatest gift you can have as a director is when you have an actor who steps into a scene with another actor, and listens and responds, but doesn't say, "Oh, I don't think Luffy would do that, or Sanji would never.
The other lovely thing about Emily is she's beautiful, obviously, and Nami is a beautiful character, but she has so much depth to her being. We were really keen that all our actors weren't just beautiful, we weren't really after that, we were after beautiful spirits. Again, it's the thing that you can't create on the screen, the screen knows when it's there, the film will find it in you if it's there.
How One Piece's Nami Casting Can Avoid Cowboy Bebop's Struggles Star Emily Rudd has been very open about her passion for trying to land the role of Nami throughout her career, recently revealing her "not-so-secret" game plan to convince the team behind the show to cast her.
