The Night Agent is Netflix's number one right now so it’s safe to say the political thriller has gone down a treat with fans. Viewers are loving the gripping plot and the cast, which is led by Super 8 actor Gabriel Basso as FBI agent Peter Sutherland.
Gabriel is no stranger to acting thanks to appearing in big films and TV shows when he was younger, but his return to the screen comes after a bit of a break away from the world of acting.
However, it seems the star comes from a thespian background and his siblings are actors too. Find out more about his famous relatives below.
Who is Gabriel Basso's famous mother?
Gabriel was born in St. Louis, Missouri to a lawyer father named Louis J. Basso Jr. and his mother, Marcie. Although his father wasn't an actor, his mother Marcie had a credit in the film, Ghost Image. It's clear Gabriel's parents supported his venture into acting from a young age and by the time he was in his early teens, he had landed roles in big films and popular television shows.
His big break came in 2010 when he landed a regular part in the comedy-drama series, The Big C, as Adam Jamison. Before that, he did have a number of small roles in popular TV shows like iCarly and Eastwick. In 2011, he landed a role in the Hollywood movie, Super 8, as Martin Read.
