Noah Centineo Reveals What Drew Him to 'The Recruit' Role

Noah Centineo is about to star in his next Netflix project The Recruit!

The 26-year-old actor, who has starred in a number of films for the streamer, recently opened up about what drew him to his latest character and how he prepared for the role.

See what he said inside…

“I’ve never seen the CIA portrayed from the lens of a young kid fresh out of school, being recruited to work there as a lawyer,” Noah told Variety about what excited him about the role. “I’ve always seen it from the perspective of operations and spies. This was very fresh and new, and I loved that.”

How did he prepare for the role?

“The preparation for this role did not require learning to use a gun, learning how to fight. If anything, my lack of experience turns into an asset for the filming, which is funny, because that’s the catchphrase of the entire show,” he noted. “A lot of [preparation] was learning the different terms that a lawyer would use, especially in the Office of the General Counsel at the CIA.”

Noah did mention that he got to speak to the man that inspired the series, Adam Ciralsky.

“I was able to ask him as many questions as I could possibly think of and also get these crazy stories that mirror the show,” he said.
