Noah Centineo on the ‘Absurdity’ of Netflix CIA Show ‘The Recruit’ and Why He’s the ‘Anti-Tom Cruise’

You might remember Noah Centineo from his breakout role as the charming and affable Peter Kavinsky in 2018’s “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.” Since then, he’s steadily expanded his repertoire, playing a crush-worthy quarterback in “Sierra Burgess is a Loser” and Atom Smasher in DC’s “Black Adam.”

Now Centineo is adding “lawyer” to his résumé with his starring turn in Netflix series “The Recruit,” set to debut on Dec. 16. Created by “The Rookie” showrunner Alexi Hawley and inspired by journalist Adam Ciralsky, who also executive produced the show, “The Recruit” centers on Centineo’s Owen Hendricks, a rookie attorney at the CIA who quickly realizes that if he wants to succeed in the Office of the General Counsel, he must learn how to navigate the complicated, overlapping worlds of law and espionage.
