“Some of this is f---ing dope,” the 26-year-old actor marvels while examining a deck of cards that doubled as an escape map for Allied prisoners during World War II. Yet as Centineo discusses his starring role in the Netflix series “The Recruit” — a peppy spy thriller about a fledging CIA lawyer — he concedes such contraptions never had a place in the show’s more bureaucratic trappings.,’ it would have been sick to have all those gadgets and gizmos,” Centineo says.
In the case of “The Recruit,” Centineo’s involvement could very well be the reason for the show’s existence. Inspired by Vanity Fair contributor Adam Ciralsky’s time in the CIA, the series was developed by “Castle” and “The Rookie” writer Alexi Hawley in collaboration with “The Bourne Identity” filmmaker Doug Liman, an executive producer who directed the first two episodes. But the show was still in need of a distributor when Hawley and his partners recruited Centineo to “The Recruit.
“He’s definitely more mature,” Centineo says. “In ‘To All the Boys,’ there was drama and there were really, really intense stakes, right? Because in high school, you fall in love and you feel like it’s the end of the world when something’s happening with a relationship. But this is just a different level.
Hawley adds: “It’s rare, sadly, to find leading actors who are willing to be the butt of the joke or fail or make mistakes or look stupid. I mean, there are plenty of people who would have demanded to be an action star, but it was very purposeful. The second that he becomes Jason Bourne, it’s a different show.
I might have a miss interpretation with my last comment.
