Matt Bomer’s Big Break
The White Collar actor is TV’s next major star.
Q: What was your big break?
A: Guiding Light, nine years ago. I played a trust-fund baby who became a male prostitute, killed three people, kidnapped a girl, then killed himself in front of her father and her boyfriend. You know, just your average slice-of-life piece.
Q: Your father played for the Dallas Cowboys. Ever think you’d be a football player?
A: I grew up in Texas, and there’s really no other social option on a Friday night. I played through high school and enjoyed it. I was okay—not great. But my senior year I ended up getting cast in A Streetcar Named Desire and left the team for the part. My parents were actually really cool about that decision.
Q: Your character, Neal Caffrey, is a very dapper dresser. Are you?
A: Not at all. I have, like, three suits to my name. But one thing I’ve learned is that when you dress up in real life, people treat you differently. So I’ve definitely borrowed a lot of the show’s wardrobe.
Q: It looks like they’ve got you in head-to-toe Thom Browne.
A: Actually, I don’t wear a stitch of Thom Browne on the show, but it is all cut and tailored that way. The casting designer and I came up with a look for Neal that’s very Rat Pack, so anything Sy Devore-influenced—skinny ties, very fitted suits. I’ve worn some amazing vintage sharkskin.
Q: After performing in promising shows like Traveller and Tru Calling that failed to take off, did you have high hopes for White Collar?
A: It’s funny—you just never know what’s gonna hit. We started shooting the pilot for White Collar in late 2008, before Madoff. Then the whole scandal broke. I was like, Wow, this is really out there in the zeitgeist right now.
Q: How true were the rumors that you were going to get the lead in Superman Returns back in 2003?
A: I went through all the screen tests, and it was pretty much understood that [director] Brett Ratner and I would be doing it. It all kind of fell apart.
Q: That must have been devastating.
A: The whole experience was so fast and sudden—it was impossible for me to take in while it was happening. But just being attached to Superman actually gave a great boost to my career.
Q: Does it bother you that so much of what’s been written about you is speculation that you’re gay?
A: I don’t care about that at all. I’m completely happy and fulfilled in my personal life.
Q: But you don’t want to talk about it.
A: I have a network and a show riding on my shoulders. I would say a big difference between my character and me is that I can be too trusting. And I’ve realized in this business, that’s not necessarily the smartest thing to be. I definitely have a thing or two to learn from the con artists.
American Tennis Star Mardy Fish Outlasts John Isner To Win The Atlanta Title.
Yesterday, American Mardy Fish won the Atlanta tennis championships, he outlasted fellow American John Isner 4-6 6-4 7-6.
Fish has won two events in a row. Last week, Fish won the Newport grass court event. Fish credits his success to his dramatic thirty pound weight loss. Fish has dropped from 200 pounds to 170.
In an interview with the Associted Press, Fish says “It’s night and day,” Fish said. “A year ago I would have fallen over in the second set probably, or probably played a match to where I knew physically I couldn’t last so I needed to change my tactics. I just simply don’t have to do that anymore.”
Last September, the six-foot two Fish had knee surgery and for three months he focused on improving his fitness and health. Fish always had the talent but he wasn’t in top physical condition due to his eating habits. Fish also reached the Queens Club final in June 2010.
Meanwhile, the nineteeth ranked John Isner can’t seem to cross the finish line and win ATP Tour titles. The six foot nine Isner was extremely disappointed he was unable to pull out the victory.
“It’s disappointing,” he said. “I’ve made four finals this year and I’ve lost my last three, all in three sets. That’s tough to swallow but it hasn’t stopped me from progressing.”
Congratulations Mardy!
