Gabriel Basso, star of the Netflix series “The Night Agent,” performs 80% of his own stunts to enhance audience immersion. Basso, who plays FBI agent Peter Sutherland, believes that doing his own stunts adds authenticity to the show. He dislikes the idea of using stunt doubles for key action scenes, feeling it would be dishonest to the audience. Basso’s commitment to realism extends to renewing his skydiving certification for the show, although insurance concerns halted this particular stunt. The series, which returns for its second season on January 23, follows Sutherland as he navigates a high-stakes conspiracy. The New York premiere of Season 2 was canceled due to wildfires in Southern California.
