Ebon Moss-Bachrach has won the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in FX’s The Bear. This is his second time winning the award, following his previous win earlier this year at the 2023 ceremony.
Moss-Bachrach plays Richie Jerimovich, a restaurant manager, alongside Jeremy Allen White’s character, in the popular show. Fans and critics have praised his performance, and The Bear continues to make its mark in the awards scene.
Moss-Bachrach’s career is on the rise, as he is set to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He will play Ben Grimm, also known as The Thing, in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Meanwhile, the success of The Bear is far from over. Season 4 of the series is already confirmed, with filming expected to start early next year, according to co-star Jeremy Allen White.
Who Were the Other Nominees for Best Supporting Actor?
Moss-Bachrach faced tough competition for the award, with some of last year’s most well-known actors also nominated. The Bear had another nominee in Lionel Boyce, who plays pastry chef Marcus. While Boyce has received critical praise for his role, this was his first individual nomination for the award.
He had previously won a Screen Actors Guild Award alongside the Bear ensemble for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series.
Paul W. Downs, known for his role in Hacks, was another strong contender. The show, a favorite at awards ceremonies, follows a young comedy writer and a legendary comedian. Downs plays Jimmy LuSaque Jr., the manager of both characters.
Paul Rudd was also nominated for his role in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building. What began as a guest role in Season 2 turned into a larger part for Rudd, who plays Ben Glenroy in the show.
The series focuses on three neighbours who bond over their love of true crime and start a podcast after a string of murders occurs in their building.
Tyler James Williams, from Abbott Elementary, was nominated for his third consecutive year. Williams plays Gregory Eddie, a teacher aiming to become a principal, in the show created by Quinta Brunson.
Finally, Bowen Yang from Saturday Night Live rounded out the list of nominees. This was not his first nomination either, as Yang had been nominated for the same award in 2021 and 2022.
