White Collar was a police procedural drama created by Jeff Eastin, which ran on USA Network for six seasons from 2009 to 2014. The series was led by Matt Bomer as Neal Caffrey, a role that effectively turned him into a household name and kick-started the illustrious career he has today. Overall, White Collar received positive reviews, with praise directed at its plot, pacing, and compelling crime stories.
Of course, one of the highlights of the show was its cast. The White Collar cast turned in incredible performances that proved to be a large part of the show's appeal.

Fans will also be happy to know that, per Deadline, Bomer addressed rumors of the show's possible revival, saying he was "optimistic and hopeful." Until then, here's a look at what the White Collar cast is up to today.
