‘The Night Agent’ Season 2 Star Gabriel Basso Talks About Stunts & Who Does Them

It has been nearly two years since Netflix dropped The Night Agent. Since then, it has been one of the top series in the history of the network. Now that Season 2 of the Shawn Ryan series will be dropping soon, star Gabriel Basso, who portrays Peter Sutherland has been making the rounds and talking about this upcoming season. In this season, Peter goes rogue after he learns he can trust no one. That means escaping the bad guys with some pretty exciting action.
One question that may interest fans is about the stunts. Who does Gabriel’s stunts? His answer may surprise you.

Who Does Gabriel Basso’s Stunts On The Night Agent Season 2?
In the upcoming The Night Agent Season 2, Gabriel Basso’s character Peter Sutherland has to escape a cornucopia of bad guys to uncover the truth of what is happening. That includes a lot of exciting action scenes. But, who does Gabriel’s stunts? Speaking to Jimmy Fallon, Basso shared he does his own stunts. Moreover, he does them because “I enjoy acting, I don’t like lying.”
The 30-year-old continued, “I think that can get misconstrued into the world of like, I do it because I want to say I can do it, and it’s really not about that. To me it’s about audience immersion.”
I don’t want the audience watching the show, and then right as I’m about to get hit or hip tosse or thrown on my back, you know. I feel it’s a lie.
Gabriel Basso is not the first to do his own stunts. Tom Cruise is infamously known for his death defying Mission Impossible stunts. He has always subscribed to the notion that the scene looks better when the actor does the stunt. It also allows for better acting as well. In addition, Henry Cavill, who also starred in Fallout with Cruise also does his own stunts for those very reasons.
