Ed (Actor)
CharacterEd is a non-canon performer with the Randolph Theater troupe who turns up in the third One Piece television special. He goes unnamed throughout the episode itself, with his name surfacing only in the closing credits.

Personality
Ed plainly holds Randolph in high regard, which fits his place among the man's company of stage actors. As a working member of the troupe, he can be assumed to be skilled at his craft.
History
Ed first turns up praising Randolph's performance in the company of fellow actors Suita, Jotto, and Alan. When Nami volunteers to stand in for Lola in the princess role, he readily approves along with the rest. Cast as a pirate in the production, he takes on the task of feigning a gunshot toward the princess, stepping in because Sanji cannot bring himself to mock-attack her. Over the intermission he, Jotto, and Alan reminisce about Randolph's history, and he cheers loudly once Randolph and Luffy come to blows. The accusation that Randolph has been smuggling weapons leaves him stunned, but after Luffy frees the actor, Ed returns to the stage to carry the play through to its finish.
