Night Agent on Netflix: He is the real star of the series!

In the ten-part series Night Agent, created by Sean Ryan (The Shield, Timeless), Hong Chau stars as Diane Farr. He is the Chief of Staff to the President of the United States and gives direct orders to Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso), a junior FBI agent in charge of protecting Rose Larkin (Lucian Buchanan), a young woman who, despite herself, has become involved in a vast conspiracy. .

For the American actress, it was an opportunity to work in a new genre, to play a woman whose motivations are not easy to determine. “Sean Ryan would have loved to add something about her personal life, but I thought it would be more interesting to play a female character who had no personal or social commitments other than her career.“, explained Hong Chau USA Today. “It seemed new to me.“

In Night Agent, a thriller that playfully flirts Pulp Fiction, Diane Farr’s character stands out from others for its sincerity and its unrecognizable character, which is uniquely different from the series, where we can easily guess all the intentions of the characters. This is due not only to the writing, but also to the quality of the actor’s acting. As well as her magnificent hair – it’s a wig – she brings Fifty Shades of Gray to the persona of Diana, a woman of power who steers her boat alone.

Stealing the show, standing out from the crowd, that’s his trademark. Hong Chau is always the best element in everything he does. Today, Hollywood finally noticed him.

After his breakthrough in 2017 in the comedy Downsizing with Matt Damon, as well as important roles in the TV series Watchmen and Homecoming, the actor is increasingly in demand. He went viral last year playing a dead butler in The Menu and earned his first Oscar nomination for his performance in The Whale as a nurse and friend to Brendan Fraser’s character who lives in an isolated apartment.

This spring, he stars in the comedy-drama Showing Up opposite Michelle Williams (in theaters May 3). And with new movies from Wes Anderson and Yorgos Lanthimos, the self-proclaimed introvert is getting some well-deserved time off.

Night Agent is currently available on Netflix.
