Matt Bomer may not be a huge Hollywood A-Lister, but had he landed this major role in 2003, it’s likely his entire career would have been different, and his biggest show, White Collar, would never have taken off. Matt Bomer began his acting career in 2000 when he first landed a credited TV role in All My Children for one episode. Over the next couple of years, Bomer was auditioning for bigger and better roles as he tried to get his acting career to take off, and he managed to land several more TV shows, with some recurring parts.
