Two of Bomer's films in 2018 premiered at the 43rd Toronto International Film Festivalthe comedy drama "Papi Chulo" and the drama "Viper Club". In the former, Bomer plays Sean, a local network television weather forecaster. A reviewer for "Screen Daily" argued that Bomer is "terrific" and concluded that "while he may not yet have the name recognition to act as a key selling point for this film, it’s the kind of performance which gets noticed". In "Viper Club", Bomer played Sam, a journalist who helps Helen (played by Susan Sarandon), to save her son who was kidnapped by a group of terrorists. He had a guest starring role on the NBC series "Will & Grace" (2018–2019) and he also appeared as Negative Man in the DC Universe superhero series, "Doom Patrol" (2019).
