Ebon Moss-Bachrach won the Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series at the 76th Emmy Awards. This is also his second consecutive Emmy win in the past two years.
In his victory speech, the actor said, “I am so grateful for this show and the opportunity to work with these kind people; to Chris (Storer, producer), I will be forever grateful to you.” The actor later added, “Thank you to my parents for taking such good care of my cat, and thank you to my lovely daughters, Miri and Sasha.”
The actor now stars as Richard ‘Richie’ Jerimovic, also known by his nickname Cousin, in the popular drama. The Girls star won his first Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series last year.
Moss-Bachrach beat out his co-star Lionel Boyce, who played Marcus on the FX series, as well as Tyler James Williams from Abbott Elementary, Paul Rudd from Only Murders in the Building, Paul W. Downs from Hacks, and Bowen Yang from Saturday Night Live.
With 23 nominations and 20 wins overall, The Bear is the most nominated comedy in history. Along with supporting actors Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, and Liza Colón-Zayas, the show’s nominees included lead actor Jeremy Allen White, lead actress Ayo Edebiri, and two nominations for directing (Storer and Ramy Youssef) and one nomination for writing (Storer and Calo).
Lead actor Jeremy Allen White won Best Actor in a Comedy Series for the second consecutive year, while his win saw co-star Liza Colón-Zayas become the first Latina to win Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.
Following the success of The Bear, Moss-Bachrach was cast in the leading role of Ben Grimm, also known as The Thing, in the upcoming Marvel Studios film Fantastic Four: First Steps.
The Disney film will be released in theaters next summer on July 25, 2025. The film finally connects Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe with The Fantastic Four Universe, which was first created by 20th Century Fox (which had access to a portion of the Marvel Universe).
