Matt Bomer is currently juggling his hectic work schedule. Filming for "White Collar" coincides with his other TV movie drama titled "The Normal Heart" in New York City this week with co-stars Julia Roberts and Mark Ruffalo.
Twitter account @TheGirlsNY shared that the filming permit of "The Normal Heart" on Sunday, June 9, was announced through a post on Court St. between Montague & Joralemon and at Remsen and Court St. in Brooklyn.
Ryan Murphy, creator of the hit TV series "Glee" will direct the TV movie drama that stars acclaimed actress Julia Roberts as a physician who treats AIDS patients. Mark Ruffalo portrays the character Ned Weeks who witnessed how the disease damaged the gay community while Matt Bomer will portray the gay fashion journalist lover of Mark Ruffalo's character.
"It becomes the story of unconditional love in a romantic relationship under fire. I have never felt a responsibility to get a role right more than this. We want the movie to be unflinchingly truthful," Bomer stated about "The Normal Heart."
For his "White Collar" character, Matt Bomer will reportedly have a new love interest on the TV series' 5th season that will put an end to the fans' hope on a Neal-Sara reunion. It appears that the doors have been already closed for Neal and Sara's relationship at the finale of "White Collar Season 4."
According to the Deadline report, the "Beauty and the Beast" actress Bridget Regan will be portraying the character of book scholar Rebecca Lowe who will capture the heart of Matt Bomer's character. Regan is currently a very in-demand actress and being cast in "White Collar" for this role will no longer allow her to make an appearance with the smaller character arc on FX's "Sons of Anarchy."
