Gabriel Basso

I genuinely didn't see Gabriel Basso coming, and I mean that as the highest compliment. He was the kind of kid actor you'd clock in Super 8 or The Kings of Summer and think, "oh, he's good," but not necessarily "he's going to anchor a massive Netflix thriller someday." Then The Night Agent dropped in 2023 and suddenly everyone was binge-watching this St. Louis kid play a straight-arrow Secret Service agent, and the show broke Netflix viewing records almost overnight. What gets me is how he holds the screen — not flashy, not trying to out-charisma the room, just grounded and believable in a way that big action leads often aren't. Going from scrappy indie films like The Kings of Summer to Ron Howard's Hillbilly Elegy to full-on streaming event television is a quietly impressive arc, and I'm very curious where he takes it next.
