In addition to character details, general plot details are also being kept under wraps, butThe Night ManagerSeason 2 is assembling an impressive cast. Calva is best known for his role inBabylon, the showbiz drama starringMargot RobbieandBrad Pittfrom writer/directorDamien Chazelle, but he has made a name for himself in other projects since his feature acting debut came just a few years ago. He also starred in theBird Boxspin-offBarcelona, which failed to reach highs like the 2018 original starringSandra Bullock.
Calva also played a small role in theScoot McNairy-ledNarcos: Mexico, appearing in six episodes over the course of three years. In addition to acting, Calva also has experience working as a first assistant director and helping out on a camera crew, valuable knowledge for someone 32 years old.
