Katey Sagal Rumored To Be Joining Netflix’s ‘One Piece’ As Dr. Kureha

If cast as Dr. Kureha, Sagal would bring extensive voice acting experience to the role. Some of her most notable voice roles include portraying Turanga Leela on the long-running animated series ‘Futurama‘. She provided the voice of Leela for Futurama including the original run, films, and revival series.

“‘Old Scientist’ could potentially signal Dr. Kureha and Sagal’s extensive resume in both live-action and voice over roles would make her a strong candidate,” wrote one fan commenting on the rumors on X. Her experience bringing animated characters to life through her voice would serve her well if tasked with playing the eccentric Dr. Kureha.

Proven Comic Timing in Live-Action

In addition to voice acting, Sagal has also proven her impressive comedic timing through numerous live-action roles over the decades. She is likely best known for playing the legendary character of Peggy Bundy on ‘Married… with Children‘ during the shows entire decade-long run. More recently she has starred as Gemma on the hit FX series ‘Sons of Anarchy‘.

“Sagal has the experience and comedic chops to handle someone like Dr. Kureha” said another fan commenting on the potential casting. Of course, until anything is confirmed, this remains just speculation based on some rumored leaks, but fans are excited at the prospect.
