What's it like to win an Emmy?
In this ep Gino gets to find out, as he chats to Stunt Coordinator Darrell McLean.
In March this year, Netflix's One Piece Live Action grabbed two major awards at the Children and Family Emmy Awards for “Outstanding Original Song for a Children’s or Young Teen Program” and “Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Live Program”. One Piece was actually nominated in 11 categories and was up against Percy Jackson, Spiderwick and Sesame Street. Not bad going!
One Piece is an action adventure that tells the story of a young boy, Monkey D Luffy, who dreams of becoming King of the Pirates. One Piece Live Action is based on the manga series written and illustrated by celebrated manga artist Eiichiro Oda.
For Darrell, the world of pirates is nothing new, as he spent several years working on Black Sails and is now back on board having just finished shooting Season 2 of One Piece. Catch Season 1 streaming on Netflix.
