As a promising theater student at Carnegie Mellon, Matt Bomer followed a trajectory that pointed toward the shimmering stages of Broadway. But upon his arrival in Manhattan, he instead landed a role on a soap opera—slightly out of step with the theatrical future he’d envisioned. And yet, today Bomer views those early years as vital to his later success. The Golden Globe Award–winner has starred in feature films, plays, and television shows, including the recent Fellow Travelers. On this week’s episode of Table for Two, Bomer joins host and AIR MAIL contributor Bruce Bozzi to reflect further on his beginnings, the lessons taught to him on set by Jodie Foster and Bradley Cooper, and the experience of coming up in the entertainment industry as a gay man.
