White Collar on USA Network is a light-hearted dramatic comedy about a charismatic con man and a straight laced FBI agent who form an unlikely alliance. White Collar debuted on October 23, 2009 on USA. The cast of White Collar includes Matt Bomer, Tim DeKay, Tiffani and Willie Garson. The series airs on Friday nights at 10 PM ET on USA.
A Con Man and a FBI Agent
Neal Cafrey (Matt Bomer) is a boyishly charming and seriously handsome criminal who has played cat and mouse with the same FBI agent for years. FBI Agent Peter Burke (Tim DeKay) is the serious agent who finally captured Cafrey and put him in prison. Shortly before his prison term is up, Cafrey escaped prison to pursue his lost love. When Burke catches up with Cafrey he strikes up a deal to work together on a fraud case.
Neal Cafrey is the kind of guy who can start his day with nothing and end up driving a Ferrari by the end of the day. He walks into a thrift shop for clothes to wear and strikes up a conversation with a widow (Diahann Carroll) as he tries on her late husband's clothes. He looks so good in the Rat Pack style fedora and suit that the widow rents him a room in her Manhattan mansion and he ends up living in luxury with a spectacular view of the city.
The White Collar story has similarities to the movie Catch Me if You Can starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Neal is a type of fantasy character who is so handsome and charming that he can get away with anything using his friendly grin to disarm people. Neal is more than charming, he is savvy, smart and keeps up on the latest cons. Cafrey is an expert on the crimes of fraud, counterfeiting and art theft.
FBI Agent Peter Burke is the hard working and dedicated agent who seems able to catch the most elusive crooks. Tiffani Thiessen portrays his patient and loving wife, Elizabeth Burke.
Neal and FBI Agent Peter Burke form an unlikely partnership. The two men, formerly on opposite sides of the law, form an uneasy truce and grow to respect each other as Cafrey helps the FBI solve crimes.
