Netflix thriller “The Night Agent.” “I don’t think I’ve ever played a character like this as an adult,” Basso, 28, told The Post.“I was a child actor, really [before]. So, all I had to do was be a kid.
This was the first role as an adult where I sort of was put in positions that I hadn’t been in before — a lot of action stuff, which was cool, because I love all that.” Based on a novel by Matthew Quirk, “The Night Agent,” was created by Shawn Ryan (“The Shield”) and follows Peter Sutherland (Basso), a low-level FBI agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning an emergency hotline for American spies that never rings. When the phone mysteriously breaks its silence one night, it sends Peter into dangerous uncharted waters, and he must work to protect a civilian, Rose (Luciane Buchanan, “Sweet Tooth” ) while also uncovering a conspiracy that leads all the way up to the Oval Office. “When I had initially sat down with Shawn [Ryan], he was talking about how grounded he wanted to make it, and how interested in character he was over the big plot and action, how it was all character motivated,” said Basso.“I thought that was unique within the genre. In action, it sometimes feels gratuitous.
It was nice to hear that his vision for it was character-based, and not so much stimulus based.“I think Peter’s perseverance in the face of adversity is admirable, and I liked that about him. Often, people nowadays give up, in conflict.
Especially when there’s not a lot of incentive to continue,” he said. “But it was nice to see someone who isn’t untouchable in fights — he’s not Superman, he gets beat up, he has to rely on others around him, to some extent.

Hunter Ingram SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “Fathers,” the Season 1 finale of “The Night Agent,” now streaming on Netflix. There goes the administration. After a season spent hunting down –– and being hunted by –– an elaborate assassination plot against President Travers (Kari Matchett) from within her own office, beaten and bruised FBI Agent Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) thwarts disaster at Camp David in the season finale of Netflix’s “The Night Agent.” But the high body count left in the wake might make it hard to run the country.
Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Hong Chau — the Oscar-nominated actor, who’s appeared in “The Whale,” “The Menu,” and “Downsizing” — is an interesting element on Netflix’s new series “The Night Agent,” and a revealing one. To cast Chau, a gifted and hardworking performer who’s been elevating projects for years, is to announce a certain ambition. Here, she’s playing the determined White House Chief of Staff, a figure close to the heart of various intrigues on a political thriller with schlock in its DNA. And yet she does it so elegantly, so excellently that she elevates the whole thing. So it is with “The Night Agent,” created by Shawn Ryan of “The Shield,” and based on a novel by Matthew Quirk. Here, Gabriel Basso (who played the future U.S. Senator J.D. Vance in the film “Hillbilly Elegy”) stars as Peter Sutherland, whose employment at the FBI is at such a low level that an offer to stand by and monitor a rarely used emergency hotline on the night shift comes to feel attractive. Wouldn’t you know it — one evening, that phone rings, and the caller is a tech founder who has found herself drawn into a drama she barely understands when her aunt and uncle were killed. Peter and Rose (Luciane Buchanan), his unlucky protectee, must piece together what happened on the fly, as they attempt to keep her safe and, just maybe, redeem Peter’s unfortunate family history of perfidy.
