The Night Agent cast | Gabriel Basso stars in Netflix thriller

Publish date: 2024-06-14

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."
