9 Amazing Bodies of The Night Agent Stars

If you’re looking for a new show to watch on Netflix, maybe check out The Night Agent. The show premiered in March, and was renewed for a second season a week later; when Netflix released a list of their most viewed shows in the last six months, The Night Agent was #1. The show is based on a novel and is about an FBI agent, Peter Sutherland, trying to find a mole. He teams up with and helps protect a tech CEO named Rose Larkin. How do the stars of this megahit stay so fit? Read on.

Gabriel Basso plays the lead role of Peter Sutherland. He talked about training for the show with Us Weekly. "I already was in shape because I fight and stuff in real life and I compete and train. But I think the biggest thing for me was going back to early 1900s where their approach to health was health first, rank second and looks third. And sort of the aesthetic and looking good is a byproduct of the first two. It's not the emphasis.”

Hong Chau plays Diane Farr on the show. She also starred in The Whale, and talked about auditioning for the film with Cosmopolitan. “I'm so glad I took that leap of faith and went to New York to work on this little film with such an intimate cast and a big story. It just felt truly miraculous that we got to work on something that beautiful with all of the craziness going on in the world at the time.”

DB Woodside plays Erik Monks on the show. He previously starred on Lucifer, and shared his training process for that show on Facebook. Woodside revealed that he took up swimming. He wrote, “It’s time to switch it up. I’ve always been an avid swimmer but stopped so I could bulk up for the show. I think it’s time to go back to the pool full time and really lean out. Different approach means a different look. Let’s see what happens.”

Luciane Buchanan plays the role of Rose Larkin. She likes to spend a lot of time outside, and shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself doing outdoor activities. In this post, Buchanan went bungee jumping in Whistler. She also shared this photo of herself enjoying a day at Hunua Falls.

Fola Evans-Akingbola plays Chelsea Arrington on the show. She opened up about her journey to loving her hair with Infringe. “It took me so long to love my hair. As an adolescent, I was starting to think, what counts as pretty, what counts as beautiful? The boys that I’m around, are they liking me? I was coming to realise that there was a specific version of beauty out in the world that was appreciated, and I just didn’t feel like it was me. And a lot of that was to do with my hair. So, I would do nothing with it: get it away from my face, tie it up. But at my first part-time job, the look policy was that you had to wear your hair down and natural. Even though the look policy in the shop was itself a bit problematic, I’m always thankful for it because it was there that I would be getting compliments, and it helped me realise, actually my hair is quite nice! That started the journey for me, but what really changed it was finding the right hairdresser. And I cried the first time I went to that salon. I had no idea that my curls could be defined, and healthy, and bouncy.”

6. Sarah Desjardins

Sarah Desjardins plays Maddie Redfield on the show. She shared some of her favorite workouts with Photobook Magazine. “I am a physically active person. I love running, strength training, Pilates, being outside in nature. Maddie, however, did not ‘require’ much physical preparation. She’s the Vice President’s daughter and an art student. She’s not expecting what’s about to happen to her so I didn’t feel the need to do anything specific in terms of physical preparation.”

7. Eve Harlow

Eve Harlow plays Ellen on the show. She talked about her personal success to TVLine. “My family immigrated from Russia to Israel to Canada, and there were, like, five of us sleeping on the floor of a one-bedroom. That is where I come from, so the fact that I get to pay my bills by acting is a dream come true. That in itself is a victory for me.”

8. Amanda Warren

Amanda Warren will be joining the cast in season 2, playing Catherine Weaver. She shared her wellness tips with Healthy Living Magazine. “Cardio is vital. I do indoor cycling as much as I can at Cyc Fitness here in New York. Yoga is excellent! It not only keeps me healthy physically but mentally and spiritually also. If you’re like me, yoga is particularly great if you don’t necessarily do free weights as often as you should making it a nice alternative to building nice, lean muscle. If I can’t get to the gym as often as I would like to, I usually don’t worry about it. I’m a born and raised New Yorker so walking is in my bones and, after the day is done—especially during the spring and summer seasons—I’ve usually done an hour of walking. Just walk everywhere. I walk even to and from gym which I count as my warm up and cool down.”

9. Kari Matchett

Kari Matchett plays the recurring role of President Travers. She tells Brit + Co that she loves salads, and even shared her favorite recipe. “If I ever go over to anybody's house for dinner, I am always the designated salad person. So if I were to ever open a restaurant, it would be a salad restaurant. I believe in the power of salads. I'm particularly in love with arugula [and I love] different variations. So a little bit of olive oil, the best sea salt, [and] a squeeze of lemon juice. You can do no wrong.”

In "10 Amazing Bodies from 9-1-1 Stars," we delve into the personal fitness and wellness journeys of the cast from the popular TV show "9-1-1." This article offers a unique glimpse into how these stars maintain their health and well-being amidst their demanding careers. From Angela Bassett's hotel gym routines to Jennifer Love Hewitt's reflections on body image, and John Harlan Kim's pandemic workout regime, each star brings a different perspective. We also hear from Peter Krause about maintaining a positive attitude, Ryan Guzman's dedicated gym regimen, and Oliver Stark's vegan diet preferences.

Angela Bassett plays the lead role of Athena Grant. She shared her workout secrets in an interview with Net-A-Porter. “I’ll try to get to the hotel gym and do 30 minutes of cardio, and lift a couple of weights or something. But I’m not getting up at 4am to workout.”

2. Jennifer Love Hewitt

Jennifer Love Hewitt joined the show in its second season, and she plays Maddie Buckley. In an interview with Vulture, she talked about previous interviews she’s had to do, and comments she’s received on her body. “I was disappointed that it was all about body stuff, because I had really worked hard in that movie to do a good job as an actress,” she said. “Now that I’m older, I think, ‘Gosh, I wish that I had known how inappropriate that was so I could have defended myself somehow or just not answered those questions.’ I laughed it off a lot of the time, and I wish maybe I hadn’t.”

3. John Harlan Kim

John Harlan Kim plays Albert Han. He talked about his routine during the pandemic with The Sydney Morning Herald. “I wake up, knock back a few coffees, return some messages, try to get a workout in and tend to things I’d never prioritised before around the place. Like so many others, all my meetings are over video chats now, but you’re discussing these work arrangements that are surrounded by so much uncertainty, you know?”

4. Peter Krause

Peter Krause plays Bobby Nash on the show. He talked about having an optimistic attitude with MSP Magazine. “I feel like at my core I’m a Minnesotan. You know, I maintain certain attitudes. Like, ‘Could be worse!’ That very particularly Minnesotan thing where, whatever awful situation we’re in, we’re like, ‘Could be worse! Could be raining!’”

5. Ryan Guzman

Ryan Guzman joined the show as Eddie Diaz in the second season. In 2015, while prepping for Heroes Reborn, Guzman made sure to workout. He shared his process on Instagram. "Been hittin this gym up every day, for almost three months now,” Guzman captioned a post. “I've gained 18lbs so far. I'm starting to really like the changes I see and feel. #nothingcomeseasy #progress."

6. Oliver Stark

Oliver Stark plays Evan “Buck” Buckley on the show. Stark is vegan, and shared his favorite foods with Veg Out Magazine. “I’m a big fruit-eater. For as long as I can remember, fruits have been my favorite food. Pineapple, bananas, mango—the list goes on. [They’re] easy, convenient, and healthy! Oh, and delicious! Protein sources tend to be tofu, tempeh, seitan, and various protein powders (usually based around a 70/30 split of pea and rice protein powder, which a lot of ready-made powders adopt).”

7. Kenneth Choi

Kenneth Choi, who plays Chimney Han, is grateful for the fan’s support. He talked about joining social media and seeing the support with HOLA USA. “I am because when you don't have that feedback constantly, you just don't know. I had a sense that people liked him through my colleagues; every now and then Oliver [Stark] would say, 'Kenny, people really love you, they want you on social media, they want to interact, they think you're wonderful.' So when I actually go on social media, it is lovely to experience that. But on the other hand, you always have to keep a distance from it. Anybody who's very successful and steps into the limelight and starts to believe their own press is in danger. You want to try to keep a modest level head and I'm someone who is rooted in midwest values, and my mother and father are always in the back of my head talking to me.”

8. Rockmond Dunbar

Rockmond Dunbar plays Michael Grant on the show. He shared how he stays consistent and motivated with workouts to Muscle and Fitness. “I listen to guys like Kendrick Lamar when I work out, but when I’m on the elliptical, I watch motivational videos on YouTube. It’s all about positive thinking and pushing out negativity. If you want to be successful, don’t seek success. Wake up every day with a purpose, and be consistent and persistent in pursuit of that purpose. You can take breaks, you can go on sabbatical, but don’t ever give up.”

9. Connie Britton

Connie Britton played Abby Clark on the show’s first season. She talked about her wellness with Health Magazine. “Meditation has been a big part of my adult life — meditation, breathing, and connecting to whatever is my own version of my center,” she said. “It can be 10 minutes; it can be in the car while I’m driving or just taking a deep breath before I’m about to shoot a scene. It’s about going deeper than the external noise. To me, that’s a really important tool. And I really believe it helps with wrinkles. We can change our body chemistry through meditation.”

10. Tracie Thoms

Tracie Thoms talked about how she relates to her character, Karen Wilson, to TVLine. “I used to be very Type A and buttoned-up,” she says. “I graduated summa cum laude from Howard University with a 3.96 GPA. I was very, very strict with myself. I was very much like Karen. I understand her. But things happen in life that teach you not to sweat the small stuff. It was fun that this was Karen’s journey, but also mine. It was fun to see how far I’ve come, and how far she has come in terms of how she views the world and learned to let love into her life in a way that she wasn’t able to do even 10 years ago.”

Explore the fitness routines of the actors from "Burn Notice," a thrilling TV series about Michael Weston, a former spy who finds himself 'burned' and cut off from his intelligence agency. The show follows Michael's endeavors to uncover why he's been burned while helping others with his espionage skills. Jeffrey Donovan, portraying Michael, enjoys diving for fitness. Gabrielle Anwar, as Fiona, practices yoga. Each cast member, including Bruce Campbell and Coby Bell, shares their unique approach to wellness, reflecting the diverse methods they use to maintain health amidst the physical and mental demands of acting in this action-packed series.

1. Jeffrey Donovan

Jeffrey Donovan played lead character, Michael Weston, on the show. In a 2011 interview with Men’s Health, he revealed that he loves to dive to stay in shape. "Diving is a very solitary, very insular, peaceful activity. At 100 feet there are no phones, and no one's bothering you—there's just a bunch of fish wondering what the hell you're doing in their backyard."

2. Gabrielle Anwar

Gabrielle Anwar played one of the main roles, Fiona Glenanne. In a 2010 interview with SELF, Anwar revealed that she practices yoga to stay in shape. “I love yoga because every muscle is being toned from the moment one spreads their toes on that mat. My goal is not to target the area that might be less toned than another, my goal is to feel that during each pose, I bring awareness into each muscle, each space around each muscle, each joint, each space around each joint, and so on and so on, so that I do not neglect a single part of my whole. I am less concerned about an area of 'imperfection,' because I am not a professional bodybuilder, model nor trainer. What I am is imperfect. Gleefully so.”

3. Bruce Campbell

Bruce Campbell played one of the main characters, Sam Axe, on the show. He talked about what he thinks makes a successful film or series with Artpublika Magazine. “Everybody involved in a project, in my opinion, has to let the material rule. If it’s a comedy, then liven up your game. If it’s a serious drama, ok, tone it down a little bit; keep the intensity. And, everybody has got to be in the same movie. Actors are not allowed to be in their own little sphere; they have to acknowledge the world around them.”

4. Coby Bell

Coby Bell played Jesse Porter, joining the main cast in season four. He also appeared in the 2017 FOX sci-fi series, The Gifted. Bell shared how the show incorporates social issues to Show Biz Junkies. “I guess it’s a way of talking about social issues without talking directly about them, you know? It makes it a little more palatable, a little less preachy. But at that same time, the message is getting across. It’s really cool. Starting with Star Trek, they were breaking some serious barriers but it’s in outer space so it’s fine. So, yes, I never thought about it. It’s cool.”

5. Tricia Helfer

Tricia Helfer played Carla Baxter in season two. She has amazing skin, and makes sure to take care of it. “I like to use Proactiv cleansers when I’m working, because they seem to deep clean the skin from all the set makeup,” she told Real Style Network. “When I’m not working, I use a Kiehl’s Rare Earth cleanser and cucumber toner. For toners, serums and moisturizers, I vary it between Nars, Kiehl’s, Prai and La Mer. When I was filming in New Mexico last fall, the climate is so insanely dry that the only thing that kept my skin from falling off was La Mer. It’s so expensive but it certainly did help with that crazy climate.”

6. Moon Bloodgood

Moon Bloodgood played Michelle Paxson in season three. She is an action star known for her roles in Falling Skies and Terminator Salvation. While promoting Falling Skies, Bloodgood revealed to CineSnob that she does a lot of her own stunts. “I did a lot of my own stunts in ‘Terminator Salvation.’ With this one, it’s not as physical because I play a doctor. I’m not out in the field battling with the aliens. At times it was physical, because doing a show of this kind of magnitude is crazy. There are crazy and demanding hours.”

7. Chris Vance

Chris Vance played the recurring role Mason Gilroy in season three. While promoting his show Transporter, Vance revealed the intense training he did to prepare for it. “I put in about three months of training before we start the shoot,” he told My Take On TV. “Before the first principle day of photography, I generally put in about three months of training. Just for stamina reasons; it’s not always to do with fighting. It’s a lot to do with stamina training, stretching, running and aerobic sort of training.”

8. Sonja Sohn

Sonja Sohn played Olivia Riley in season six. She shared how she stays in shape for roles to DailyActor. “My health and wellness regimen in general is more influenced by just the way I want to feel as a human being. But also, being an actress and being in front of the camera, you do have to be conscious of that, and so it’s more tied into just understanding the nature of my job. Iimage is a big part of the job. And how you are – and how the camera captures you is important. But like I said, it's more influenced by just my personal choice on what kind of shape I want to be in. I might want to be walking around 25 years from now, so I should be eating and exercising.”

9. Danny Pino

Danny Pino played Adam Scott in the fourth season. He shared his secrets to a successful marriage to Closer Weekly. “It takes work. So even on days you don’t necessarily feel like you want to follow through with things, it’s important to make the effort, to show that you’re there and you care, to try to understand what’s going on. Just like in acting, the most important thing in a relationship for me is listening. And we love to travel together!”

10. Patton Oswalt

Patton Oswalt had a recurring role as Calvin Schmidt in the sixth season. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Oswalt opened up about returning to comedy after the passing of his first wife. “I had this weird breakthrough onstage during a set down in Irvine last month, like, ‘Oh, this is just going to be uncomfortable. I’m going to have to make comedy out of it being uncomfortable.’ That set was the first one where I just embraced how awful it was.”

11. Garret Dillahunt

Garret Dillahunt played the villainous Simon Escher on the show. He talked about his career to Leo Edit. “I directed an episode of Raising Hope, and I enjoyed it very much. For a long time, I didn’t have any aspirations beyond that. I felt very fulfilled. I feel pretty lucky in the roles I’ve gotten to play as an actor. I know plenty of actors that can do what I do. I get flattered when people say, you can do anything, you do comedy, you do drama, you do whatever, because I feel like I know so many people that can do that and do it even better, but just weren’t given the opportunity. And I’ve been given those opportunities, and I love it and I never thought I would produce anything. But as you get older, you want to have a little more of a hand in things. If I’m not having fun, what’s the point? And so, if you think you can do better, why don’t you get your hands a little dirty? And I wish I’d done that a long time ago. Don’t wait until you think you deserve it or that you have all the knowledge, ’cause you’ll never feel that way.”

The Sinner was binge-worthy TV at its finest. The anthology series found the increasingly frayed Detective Harry Ambrose (played by the inimitable Bill Pullman) investigating a twisty and lurid case each season, as a number of sexy suspects (Jessica Biel, Matt Bomer, Carrie Coon) were not what they appeared. The police procedural anthology series was anything but boring, partially because of that sparkling cast. How did they stay fit? Read on for the wellness secrets from the cast of The Sinner.

Bill Pullman plays main character Harry Ambrose on the show. He revealed to The Guardian that he is an avid farmer, and wants to support the environment. “Fruit farming was something I did for many years without ever talking about it. I think a part of doing the orchard is just it being a very local way in which people remember their connection to the Earth.”

2. Jessica Hecht

Jessica Hecht played the other main role, Sonya Barzel, and joined in the show’s third season. She talked about the impact having children has had on her to Backstage.com. "Having kids gives you an enormous perspective. It informs your ambitions. At this point in my life, my ambition is to do interesting work with interesting people."

3. Jessica Biel

Jessica Biel played Cora Tannetti in the first season. Her makeup artist, Daniel Martin, shared her skincare secrets with Refinery29. “There's not a ton of moving parts when it comes to Jessica's skin-care prep," Martin says. "It's basically two parts: toning and moisturizing. To start, I love this Mario Badescu lavender toner because it's calming and gives the skin a balanced refresh.”

4. Matt Bomer

Matt Bomer played Jamie Burns on season three. He tells Men’s Journal that he uses food combining to eat healthy. “It’s basically all about the enzymes your body uses to break down food and the transit time from when you eat to when you’re done with it,” he explains. “If you mix a protein and a starch, it’s going to significantly increase the time it takes for your body to break it down, which can be a good thing in some situations.”

5. Christopher Abbott

Christopher Abbott played Mason Tannetti in season one. He opened up about taking jobs to ELLE. “I definitely don't say yes to everything. I didn't use to have any kind of structure. It was like, whatever is good is good. But I feel like as I get older—I mean there's no planning, I feel like there's no really planning careers—you do your best to facilitate what you want to do. And I think I'm a little bit more conscious now, like, maybe I should try and do something bigger, you know? Now it's starting to become more of a real thing. I guess there's a part of my brain that has started to think, 'Well, how can I…?' But I can only do so much

6. Chris Messina

Chris Messina played Nick Haas in season three. He opened up about overworking himself to Buzzfeed. "It was a bit stupid on my part to take on that much, and I think everything suffers when you do that much," Messina says. "I think your work suffers, your relationships suffer. Some of the decisions I was making were with only a couple hours of sleep, so I hope to direct another movie again, but I would never do that with anything else. I would like to clear the deck.”

7. Parisa Fitz-Henley

Parisa Fitz-Henley played Leela Burns on season three. She talked about navigating an intense political world to BlueSkeleton.com. “The thing that really comes out for me is that it’s of utmost importance to treat others the same way that you would want to be treated. Screaming ‘You’re an idiot!’ has never worked. No one has ever thanked someone else for insulting them as a way to improve their lives. Forget politically correct and try being kind. That would really change a lot.”

8. Carrie Coon

Carrie Coon played Vera Walker in season two. She tells The Independent that she doesn’t want to work with people who she doesn’t like. “I feel so fortunate I don’t have to work with people I don’t like! Not everyone has that luxury, I realise. Life is too short to be around a bunch of a**holes. I’m not interested in living my life that way.”

9. Natalie Paul

Natalie Paul played Heather Novack in season two. She talked about how she got into acting to Cliche Magazine. “I’ve always been interested in storytelling- whether it was through acting, writing, dancing. My biggest inspiration has always been the women in my family – listening to them tell stories, hearing them make everyday dramas to be larger than life. I was always in awe of them; I think that was the beginning of it.”

10. Alice Kremelberg

Alice Kremelberg talked about playing Percy Muldoon to The Advocate. "Being queer, I am hyper-aware of the male gaze and how my body/identity is being consumed in media," Kremelberg says. "In the case of The Sinner, I was fortunate enough to collaborate with the creative team when it came to how we depicted both of Percy's physical relationships in the second episode and how the male gaze was influencing them."

11. Kathryn Erbe

Kathryn Erbe, who played Fay Ambrose in season one, talked about what she looks for in a director to RoundAboutTheater.org. “I look for honesty. When I’m working with a director, I live in fear of people being afraid to tell me the truth. I really long for blunt honesty because you need an outside eye as an actor. I am not the kind of actor that wants to do things in a vacuum. I really love to collaborate, and I love being directed. I love trying things differently and seeing what works.”
