Characters matter as much as the slickly maneuvered capers and gorgeous Manhattan townhouses in USA’ s White Collar , which returns tonight for its second season. In the comedy-drama, Tim DeKay stars as brilliant FBI agent Peter Burke, who’s responsible for convincing Matthew Bomer’s con man character Neal Caffrey to continually use his forging knowledge for good, not evil. Throughout the process, the cop and criminal inevitably learn a lot about themselves, and as DeKay told Movieline last week, he’s learned plenty from his cable experience, too — including a new eye for interior decoration. DeKay rang us up to discuss the pleasures of guest star work (including his character “Bizarro Jerry” on Seinfeld ), his role on the sexually charged Tell Me You Love Me , and the one intimate scene he’d love to share with Matthew Bomer.
