Night Agent Star on Daring Stunts & Istanbul Thrills

Season three of Netflix's The Night Agent saw star Gabriel Basso and the crew filming in the vibrant city of Istanbul. Basso, accustomed to the show's frequent location changes, found the city's energy particularly impactful, especially during a scene filmed at an actual soccer game.

Basso takes an active role in pre-production, often pitching innovative stunt ideas. He successfully advocated for a reverse 180-degree car stunt during a Turkish car chase sequence. He also discussed the intense underwater stunt, noting the extensive training and collaboration involved with the stunt team.

Reflecting on his approach to stunts, Basso believes that embracing the inherent risks is part of the profession. He prioritizes creating memorable 'film history' moments over personal safety, drawing a parallel to the risks athletes undertake. This mindset has shaped his involvement in the series' increasingly ambitious action set pieces.
