What Is Former AHS Ensemble Actor Matt Bomer Doing Now?
After "Hotel," Matt Bomer landed the role of Jamie Burns in the third season of another hit USA series, "The Sinner," and joined the DC Universe as Larry Trainor/Negative Man in HBO Max's "Doom Patrol." Along with that, the actor also continued his fruitful creative relationship with Murphy. Bomer starred in Murphy's 2020 film adaptation of the Broadway play "The Boys in the Band" for Netflix, before appearing in the first two episodes of Murphy's "American Horror Stories" spinoff series as the father of a sadistic teen who falls under the spell of the so-called "Murder House," and specifically the infamous rubber suit from Season 1 of "AHS."
With "American Horror Story" renewed through Season 13, is there any chance Bomer will return for a future installment? While promoting "American Horror Stories," Bomer told Decider, "Yeah, if it were a fun world and an interesting character and all those things, I think it'd be really fun. One of the great things about being part of Ryan Murphy's world and certainly a part of the 'American Horror Story' world is that once you're in, you're an alumni."
As for what's next, Deadline reported in February 2020 that Bomer will star opposite Ruth Wilson ("The Affair") in the feature film "The Book of Ruth." The movie chronicles the true story of AIDS activist Ruth Coker Burks — an Arkansas-based single mother and devout Christian. Bomer plays Burks' neighbor, a gay man who inspires Burks to learn more about the disease.
