Which character is played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach in The Bear's final season?

Ebon Moss-Bachrach plays Richie Jerimovich in The Bear's final season. Richie is the longtime friend and informal family member who was closely connected to Mikey Berzatto, the late owner of the Original Beef of Chicagoland.

When Carmy returns to Chicago and transforms the sandwich shop into The Bear, Richie initially clashes with the restaurant's new standards and professional culture. His character's story gradually shifts from resentment and grief toward personal growth, responsibility, and a stronger understanding of hospitality.

Richie is sometimes confused with Neil Fak, another prominent supporting character played by Matty Matheson. Moss-Bachrach's performance has been especially acclaimed: he won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for portraying Richie in both 2023 and 2024.

The character's full name is Richard Lawrence Jerimovich, although the show almost always calls him Richie. His role as The Bear's maître d' makes him one of the restaurant's central public-facing figures.
