If you recognize the actor who portrays Agent Peter Sutherland in "The Night Agent," his name is Gabriel Basso. Here's what you may remember him from.

Before Basso stepped into Peter Sutherland's shoes in "The Night Agent," he co-starred in the 2020 film "Hillbilly Elegy." Basso plays J.D., a Yale Law School student who is forced to return home to care for his mother, who is addicted to and has overdosed on heroin. One of the teens portrayed in the film is Patrick, played by Basso. The character eventually plays a critical role in the climactic conclusion of this popular 2011 film that helped propel Basso's career to the next level. In the homemade movie that the teens are filming to win a competition, Martin Reid (Basso) has been cast as the lead. Once learning of her illness, though, Basso was finally given the opportunity to express his character's emotional reaction. Basso's Adam is the son of Cathy The movie follows three teen friends who decide to tap into nature by spending their summer vacation building a house in the woods, all while disconnecting from the outside world. The movie, which was also produced by Steven Spielberg, felt like a throwback to the science fiction films of the '80s. It follows a group of young teenagers who use a Super 8 movie camera to film their own zombie movie in their small Ohio town. Before being stationed at the American spy hotline phone, he found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, discovering a planted bomb on a passenger train. As an adaptation of the 2019 best-selling novel of the same name written by author Matthew Quirk, the show follows a low-level FBI agent posted in the underbelly of the White House, forced to man a telephone hotline meant for American spies in dire need.
