Ebon Moss-Bachrach's RISE: From Girls to Star Wars to The Bear to The MCU

The funny part of Ebon Moss being in Andor is that he already has a Star Wars-ass name. 😆

Forks is my favourite Bear episode. I just love poor Richie so much. He is so sad, and so lost. Everyone is caught up with Carmy’s loss that they're not considering Richies, and all of that is shown in the performance. He's so good!

Correction for the Bear: He absolutely didn't go to the nearest pizza place. He went to Pequods Pizza - definitely not the closest to River North. The point is he picked his favorite pizza place, he found a connection with the food when he rarely has it.

I firmly believe 'forks' will go down as one of the greatest episodes of television in history.

I'm with you on the sentiment of Forks being one of my favorite episodes of any TV shows ever. WE as the audience can see that he was the guy who was good with people, but it felt like Richie never realized that there was anything truly good about himself. Everyone else knows what they're good at and they're just getting better, Richie never really knew so when he found it, it was beautiful. Man, I'm crying again.

There is something so heartbreaking seeing his character in the Bear talking to someone trying his best not to cry. It’s happened like 5 times in the bear and each time I can feel his pain.

His story arc on the Bear is great. He went from obnoxious (for me) to endearing, to respectful in just 2 seasons, can't wait to see what the're doing with season 3.

He’s one of those actors where his appearance doesn’t change much through each project, but bc he takes on different roles across genres and is good at it, you rarely recognize him and only see the character.

I KNEW he was in Mona Lisa Smile! I thought he looked familiar but the glasses threw me off. Im so happy for his success after just hustling for so long

I've seen him in punisher and the bear and also thought that was just how he was. Then it hit me. He's just such a great actor. You hate him because he makes you hate him. You hate him because he's overly arrogant and volatile, but love him when he shows he cares and is worried or distressed. He just knows what he's doing from years of doing it, and I love him for it!

You really summed this up in the wrap up. One of the reasons I love this channel is it covers "the other guys". Not the A listers, but actors who still light up the screen in their own way. They rarely become megastars but they find success in their own niche. That's something I find very satisfying with their stories. Trying to find my own niche where I'm satisfied. ❤

Richie's episode Forks is one of the best I've ever seen, it truly hit me in the chest. All the little bits afterwards which aren't mentioned as much made me smile though, like his simple "I wear suits now." and Neil Fak just accepting it, saying he looks good. His sincere apology to Sugar which everyone thought was going to be bullshit. Sugar gave him every opportunity to slip back to old Ritchie, but he stuck to what he was going to do and apologized anyway, despite her making it super awkward thinking it was going to be a bit. Him interviewing candidates with the turned napkin. Him yelling I love you through the freezer door. Just, so much of what he does after Forks made me so happy.

His episode ‘forks’ in season 2 of the bear is one of the greatest episodes in TV history and Ebon is utterly outstanding in it. EDIT: just saw everyone else say the same thing. 😅

When you said “coming into their own in their 40s” immediately I thought of John Cena as well, while he’s been famous for such a long time, he’s really come into HIS own acting wise, starting in lower budgeted comedies and then having his own show on max, I think we’re just seeing what cena as an actor has in store as he gets older. I’m predicting this man gets a serious role and absolutely shows up for it

Holy mother of god. The number of movies I've seen this man in and didn't realize is insane. Talk about building a career.

I’ve watched Forks 3 times and the full series only once. I watched Forks while eating dinner today and now I’m watching this. It’s the perfect episode of a show I’ve seen. I could watch it a thousand times over, he’s phenomenal.

I've almost made a hobby of connecting actors between their works and I've never connected him even though I've seen at least 50% of these films/shows. Now wonder, since based on this compilation he's almost unrecognizable between roles! That's some skill.

The way you are portraying him in his roles and the way his characters are written he almost comes off like a Matthew Lillard almost.

Finished the bear marathon lately and is impressed with the actor. ive seen 85% of the movies mentioned here and never realised that ive been watching this guy.

Your style is very reminiscent of Lemmino's style. Informative with great tone and a good sense of humor. Great watch!! New sub outta me.
