Matt Bomer Says Even a Few Years Ago, ‘Fellow Travelers’ Would Have Never Found Its Way to Him

Matt Bomer's inherent allure is evident in the roles he portrays, from his breakout in "White Collar" to his part in "Magic Mike" as a charming stripper, and as David Oppenheim in "Maestro." Rather than resting on his charisma, Bomer has consistently sought out complex roles that showcase his depth as an actor. In "The Normal Heart," he played a closeted reporter during the early AIDS crisis, a role that led to his first Emmy nomination after a dramatic physical transformation. More recently, in "Fellow Travelers," he took on the role of Hawkins Fuller, a government employee concealing his sexuality amid McCarthyism. This role in the Showtime series, which spans several decades and explores significant historical events, brought him another Emmy nod. Publicly out since 2012, Bomer has also been vocal about the importance of gay representation in Hollywood.
