Neal George Caffrey (born Neal George Bennett) is the main character of the USA Network original series White Collar. Neal is a criminal consultant for the white-collar crime division of the FBI in New York City. He is a world-class forger and conman, with a fondness for art, fine wine, Sy Devore suits, fedoras, and beautiful women. Neal speaks eight languages, including conversational Swahili, and has 27 known aliases.[1]
Caffrey was suspected of hundreds of thefts before FBI Agent Peter Burke apprehended him. Neal received a four-year sentence for bond forgery. After escaping from prison — and getting caught once again by Agent Burke when he is found in his ex-girlfriend Kate's apartment with an empty bottle of wine — Neal struck a bargain in exchange for his release from prison after he identifies counterfeiting materials from Peter Burke's suit. Neal helps the FBI catch the most cunning white-collar criminals in the country. Now, Neal must walk the line between his new job as a top FBI consultant, and his old life as a white-collar criminal.
Matt Bomer portrays Neal Caffrey on White Collar.[2] Bomer describes the character as having "the veneer of the charming, hyper-intelligent, eloquent, sly mastermind, but underneath, he was really a kind of die hard romantic who would go to any lengths to find the love of his life."[3]
