Jewish actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach won an Emmy Award for best supporting actor in comedy-drama series The Bear at Monday night’s ceremony.
The actor plays Richie, a 45-year-old divorced father who grapples with his life purpose in the comedy-drama series, since 2022. As he accepted his award for the show’s first of two seasons at the delayed ceremony at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, Moss-Bachrach told the audience: “This job is such a gift, it’s such a privilege to work with these wonderful actors.”
Born in Massachusetts, Moss-Bachrach is the son of Renee Moss and Eric Bachrach, who founded a community music school, and has starred as Desi Harperin in Girls and David Lieberman in The Punisher.
His star turn in The Bear also won him a Golden Globe Award for best supporting actor in a series, and a nomination for the Critics' Choice Awards for best supporting actor in a comedy series. Moss-Bachrach is also currently nominated for two Screen Actors Guild Awards, which will be presented on 24 February.
