Timothy McNeil's drama Anything marked Bomer's final film release of 2017 and McNeil making his feature directorial debut.[86] Bomer was cast as Freda Von Rhenburg, a transgender sex worker who lives in Los Angeles and begins a relationship with her neighbor, Early Landry (played by John Carroll Lynch).[86] Anything is based on McNeil's play of the same name.[86] He has received some criticism from the transgender community for the casting of a cisgender man, to play a transgender woman.[87] [88] Jon Frosch of The Hollywood Reporter felt that Bomer: "gives a performance of real warmth and delicacy," saying that: "rather than play Freda as a force of nature or a collection of mannerisms—the typical default modes of actors playing trans women—Bomer renders her fully dimensional: an unpredictable tangle of impulses, by turns defensive and tender."[89] Anything had its release at the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 17, 2017.[90] Also in 2017, Bomer was a guest narrator at Disney's Candlelight Processional.[91]

In the former, Bomer plays Sean, a local network television weather forecaster.[99] 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".[99] 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.[100] [101] He had a guest starring role on the NBC series Will & Grace (2018–2019)[102] and he also appeared as Negative Man in the DC Universe superhero series, Doom Patrol (2019).[103]

There is a security, a validity. It's just a feeling, I think—something about saying vows in front of the people around you who love and support you. I think it was good for our family."[122] [123] The couple has three children conceived through surrogacy: Kit Bomer Halls (b. 2005), and then twin brothers, Walker and Henry Bomer Halls (b. 2008).[124] [125]
