Tarek Yassin Skylar (born 5 December 1995), better known as Taz Skylar, is a Spanish and British actor and screenwriter based in London. After the success of his self written off-West-end play, Warheads, he went on to write and star in Gassed Up for Amazon Prime and plays Sanji in the Netflix series One Piece (2023).

Early and personal life

Skylar was born and raised in the Canary Island of Tenerife, Spain, to a Lebanese father, and an English mother from Yorkshire.[1]

He worked creating surfboards from the age of 15 after leaving high school.[2] He attempted to enlist as a reservist in the British Army in 2016, but failed medical tests after a car accident that caused him to suffer a concussion. He had to wait a year before he could reapply to join the army, so he began writing and acting.[3][4]

Career

Skylar began his career in the United Kingdom, where he started acting in various small roles. In 2015, he appeared in the short films Venom and Beautiful. He then played David in the short film Trophy (2016) before appearing as Caps in The Reserves from 2018 to 2019, which he also wrote and produced.[1]

In 2018, Skylar made his directorial debut with the short film Multi-Facial. The following year, he made his feature film debut in The Kill Team, where he played Sergeant Dawes. That year, he played Marty in Lie Low and Betim in the short film Final Gift. In 2020, he played Jason in Villain. In 2022, he joined the cast of Agatha Raisin, playing Harry Beam in two episodes of the series. Next, the actor played Gin in The Deal (2022) and appeared as Walt in an episode of The Lazarus Project (2022).[1]

His debut in a major production happened in 2023, when he was confirmed to appear in the series One Piece in the role of Sanji[5][6][7] and he joined the 2024 thriller Cleaner with Daisy Ridley.[8]
