On this episode of The Collection, we sit down with Gabriel Basso, the breakout lead of Netflix’s political thriller The Night Agent.Basso opens up about stepping into the role of Peter Sutherland — an ordinary man thrust into extraordinary danger — and what it takes to carry a high-stakes series built on tension, paranoia, and relentless pacing. We talk about the physical demands of the role, the mental discipline required to anchor a thriller, and how to make a character feel human even when the world around him is unraveling.He also reflects on navigating early success, choosing projects with intention, and why restraint can sometimes be more powerful than spectacle in performance.If you’re interested in the craft behind a global hit and the mindset it takes to lead one, this conversation goes deeper than the action.🎙️ The Collection — where story meets substance.
