Why Freddy Strain From The Terminal List Looks So Familiar

Prime Video's action thriller series, The Terminal List, has returned after a four-year absence, debuting its second season on October 21. This new season, inspired by True Believer, the second novel in Jack Carr's series, follows former Navy SEAL Commander James Reece, portrayed by executive producer Chris Pratt. Season 2 introduces Gabriel Luna as Freddy Strain, an elite sniper and former Navy SEAL turned CIA ground operative who is a beloved character from the book.

Luna, known for his roles in various projects, gained recognition for his portrayal of Robbie Reyes, a Mexican-American antihero in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., wielding a flaming chain and driving a supernatural 1969 Dodge Charger. Luna's transition to The Terminal List was seamless, as he brought his experience playing family men and trained snipers from previous roles, such as Tommy Miller in The Last of Us and Boro Polonia in Netflix's FUBAR.

Luna worked closely with Jared Shaw, a former Navy SEAL and writer, to ensure authenticity in Freddy Strain's character.
