Character
OG Larry Trainor
OG Larry Trainor in Doom Patrol (2019), played by Matt Bomer.
In 1961, Larry Trainor is an Air Force test pilot with a wife, two young sons, and a secret: a passionate relationship with a fellow airman that could end his career and his marriage if it surfaces. Poised and controlled in public, he keeps his private self folded away, right up until an experimental flight goes catastrophically wrong.
Matt Bomer plays repression as a full-body performance—the stillness of a man trained never to flinch, holding a life together through sheer discipline. The show uses him to show what closeted 1960s masculinity actually cost, and Bomer never lets you forget the person underneath the composure, which makes his unraveling land so hard.
