White Collar is a fantastic show and I couldn’t be more excited for Warren’s addition!
Neal Caffrey (Matt Bomer) is getting a new handler in Season 5 of “White Collar,” and he’s played by someone who should be a familiar face for USA viewers — “Common Law’s” Warren Kole (last seen being decidedly nutty on Fox’s “The Following).
The Season 4 finale saw Peter (Tim DeKay) taking the fall for shooting a senator, a crime that was actually committed by Neal’s estranged father, James (Treat Williams). Instead of clearing Peter’s name, James chose to run, leaving Neal’s handler and surrogate father behind bars, which is where he’ll be at the beginning of Season 5.
Because of Peter’s predicament, Kole will recur as Agent David Seigel, Neal Caffrey’s noticeably young, decidedly handsome and ambitious new handler, HuffPost TV has learned exclusively.
