He said the change to the more somber version was a result of how differently the directors approached the role.īefore taking on the role in “Doom Patrol,” Bomer was best known for playing Neal Caffrey on the cable series “White Collar” and for roles in “Normal Heart” and “Magic Mike II.” The Carnegie Mellon University graduate has always had a passion for theater, appearing in “Spring Awakening” and “Grey Gardens.” Bomer was working on Broadway in “The Boys in the Band” when he got the call about “Doom Patrol.” When the Doom Patrol was introduced in an episode of “Titans” (also on DC Universe), Trainor was energetic, enthusiastic and outgoing.

The two actors get together anytime Bomer is on set to talk about the character, but most of the time Bomer records his lines and Zuk does the work in front of the cameras.

Trainor is just one member of the Doom Patrol team, brought together by Niles “The Chief” Caulder (Timothy Dalton). He needs to find a way to accept all the parts of himself that were unacceptable in the past.” “He eventually becomes what he has always felt like he was on the inside. “He’s this guy who is a golden boy on the outside but on the inside has always felt like a monster,” Bomer said. Then after a crash, he hides his disfigured face behind a layer of bandages as Negative Man. As ’60s all-American test pilot Trainor, he could not reveal he is gay. LOS ANGELES - A major attraction for Matt Bomer to take on the role of Larry Trainor - also known as Negative Man - in the new DC Universe streaming service series “Doom Patrol” is that he’s a man who never shows his real face to the public.
