Matt Bomer

I'm a kid that went to theater school. I thought I was going to be making my living doing plays regionally or in New York or on Broadway, and maybe if I got lucky I would do a movie here or there.

Look, none of the artists who I admire or respect have ever shied away from a role because it might make them unpopular with somebody.

I've definitely had crazy acting teachers.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

I don't think they're going to pay me to play Mufasa.

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.
