Ebon Moss-Bachrach's Splendid Comeback
Award-winning actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach makes a grand comeback for the third season of the popular television series ‘The Bear.' The actor earlier clinched the Primetime Emmy for Best Supporting Actor for his magnificent portrayal of Richie Jerimovich in the series.
Tales of Singing and Pizza in Season 2
Perhaps one of Moss-Bachrach's most remembered scenes occurred in the second season episode titled “Forks.” The episode unfolding in a high-end Chicago restaurant follows Richie's journey from polishing cutlery to serving delicious deep-dish, Chicago-style pizza. Along the course of this event, Richie stumbles upon the delightful blend of fine dining and shared experiences, all while Taylor Swift's Love Story escorts the background.
Unraveling the Memorable Scene
The climax of the episode reveals Richie in his car, passionately singing Swift's Love Story. This scene, resonating with the uplifting vibes of a successful workday at the restaurant, displays Richie's emotional release. Moss-Bachrach later admitted in an interview with The Guardian that the scene required some rehearsal and indeed presented its challenges.
While his teenage daughters are not ardent Swifties, Moss-Bachrach expressed his admiration for Swift's exceptional songwriting capabilities, her love for cats, and her fondness for Rhode Island. Despite the subtle connection, the actor needed the song's lyrics during the take. However, practice makes perfect, and the actor fondly admits how the lyrics of Love Story have now engraved in his heart and mind – they are here to stay.
Amazing Opportunities Post-Emmy Win
Moss-Bachrach's spectacular performance in ‘The Bear' fetched him more than just an Emmy. The role also paved the way for further opportunities in Hollywood, leading him to be cast as Ben Grimm/The Thing in Marvel's forthcoming movie, ‘The Fantastic Four'.
‘The Bear' Grows Bigger with Each Season
Fans were delighted when season 3 of ‘The Bear' premiered on Hulu and FX on June 26, 2024. In an interview about the new season, Moss-Bachrach shared that his character's world expands “a little bit bigger” in the third season.
