Miguel Gomez (born August 20, 1985) is a Colombian-American actor and rapper who has successfully transitioned from the hip-hop world to becoming a respected dramatic presence in television and film. Originally performing under the name Aztek Escobar, he made history as the first artist signed to Jay-Z’s Roc-La-Familia label in the mid-2000s. He later pivoted to acting, earning his breakout role as Augustin "Gus" Elizalde in the FX horror series The Strain (2014–2017). His performance as a street-smart survivor fighting vampires brought him widespread acclaim, which he followed with a notable role as the boxer Miguel "Magic" Escobar in the 2015 sports drama Southpaw and a series regular role as Ivan Ortiz on CBS's FBI: Most Wanted (2020–2022).
The series focuses on Monkey D. Luffy, a young man who, inspired by his childhood idol and powerful pirate "Red Haired" Shanks, sets off on a journey from the East Blue Sea to find the titular treasure and proclaim himself the King of the Pirates. In an effort to organize his own crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy rescues and befriends a swordsman named Roronoa Zoro, and they head off in search of the One Piece. They are joined in their journey by Nami, a navigator and thief; Usopp, a sniper and a pathological liar; and Vinsmoke Sanji, a womanizing chef. They acquire a ship named the Going Merry and engage in confrontations with notorious pirates of the East Blue. As Luffy and his crew set out on their adventures, others join the crew later in the series, including Tony Tony Chopper, a doctor and anthropomorphized reindeer; Nico Robin, an archaeologist and former assassin; Franky, a cyborg shipwright; Brook, a skeletal musician and swordsman; and Jimbei, a fish-man helmsman and former member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Once the Going Merry becomes damaged beyond repair, the Straw Hat Pirates acquire a new ship named the Thousand Sunny. Together, they encounter other pirates, bounty hunters, criminal organizations, revolutionaries, secret agents and soldiers of the corrupt World Government, and various other friends and foes, as they sail the seas in pursuit of their dreams.
