The Night Agent cast: Meet the stars of Gabriel Basso Netflix thriller
The drama stars Basso as FBI agent Peter Sutherland, but who else is in it?
The Night Agent on Netflix has enthralled viewers with a pacy plot, various twists and turns and a stellar cast led by Gabriel Basso as low-level FBI agent Peter Sutherland.
The series begins with Peter manning a phone in the White House that never rings – that is, until it does, and Peter becomes tasked with protecting a civilian and embroiled in a deadly conspiracy that leads all the way to the Oval Office.
Basso recently revealed he did all of his own stunts in The Night Agent.
Talking to Collider, he said: "I think what excited me was Shawn [Ryan]'s vision for the show, which was very grounded. I did all the fighting, I did all of the running and stuff, and the only stuff I didn't do... was like a fall or a car hit.
"I didn't do any specialised training, but I fight in real life and I compete in real life... so when it was written, when you read it off the page, they had their idea of a fight scene, but it didn't spell it out. So we had a lot of creative freedom in the choreography side of it."
Basso is joined by other big names including Luciane Buchanan, recent Oscar nominee Hong Chau, Eve Harlow as Ellen and Fola Evans-Akingbola as Chelsea Arrington.
