The phenomenon of The Night Agent is not running out of steam, almost 1 month after its release on Netflix, as it is number two on the platform and continues to be an international hit. If there is anyone who is satisfied with the success of the series, it is its main translator, Gabriel Basso.
The 28-year-old actor is not the first to try, even if it was his role in Night Agent that pushed him to the front of the stage. She started her career at the age of 15, making her debut with a recurring role in the series The Big C. But it was in the cinema that you first saw her little face.
It’s 2011, and audiences in Super 8 theaters will find a nostalgic 80s movie imagined by JJ Abrams, with Kyle Chandler and Joel Courtney. We follow a group of teenagers who witness a spectacular train disaster. It doesn’t take long for them to realize that this is no accident. Soon, strange disappearances and unexplained events occur in the city, and the police try to find out the truth… a truth that no one could have imagined.
That’s the Night Agent star under that hat!
Part of this group of teenage movie lovers is… Gabriel Basso. Yes, yes, that is indeed the young boy in the center of the photo (above). If you’ve ever seen Super 8, he’s the one who plays the main character in that little movie they’re making in the movie with Elle Fanning. The actor has since changed a lot, swapping his retro glasses for a black and white night watchman suit.
And again he, on the left!
If Gabriel Basso continued his career in Hollywood after that, the actor preferred to shoot on the set, tired of work, as he explains. of this interview :
“I was tired. It was creative exhaustion, but it all seemed completely pointless to me. I wanted to play American football, and they said, “We’ll make a football movie for you and offer you the final victory.” And I thought it wasn’t a real experience because we weren’t really doing the work.”
Good news for us, the actor made a shy comeback in 2020 in Netflix’s An American Ode, where he answers Amy Adams and Glenn Close. A second feature film to catch up on before we find Peter Sutherland’s translator on our screens in Season 2 of The Night Agent.
