Matt Bomer: filmography of the star
A successful debut allowed the actor to get roles in other telenovelas, however, they remained episodic for a long time.

Unfortunately, the horror movie failed at the box office, a flurry of criticism fell on him. Bomer himself later without regret recalled the unsuccessful picture, about how he was preparing for the shoot. He spent several days watching the horrors, evaluating the acting of the characters fleeing maniacs and monsters.
The “Missing” mini-series is the next television project in which Matt Bomer played an important role. The filmography of the rising star finally acquired the tape that gave him the first fans. Unfortunately, the series quickly closed, completely ignoring the heated protests of its loyal viewers.
