The Emmys served up 13 nominations on a silver platter for FX’s The Bear Wednesday morning. Among them was a nod for Ebon Moss-Bachrach in the Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category for his turn as Carmy’s (Jeremy Allen White) cousin Richie Jeremovich.
Like many nominees, Moss-Bachrach was alerted to his nomination when he was inundated with messages of congratulations from friends, co-stars, and others. In fact, the actor told Deadline he was “going for a nice evening swim with my beautiful wife” on vacation when he heard the news.
This marks Moss-Bachrach’s first Emmy nomination, though he says that the accolade feels more like a group effort, shouting out creator Chris Storer, fellow acting nominees Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy Allen White, as well as casting director Jeanie Bacharach and sound mixing team Steve Giammaria and Scott D. Smith.
“I’m so excited that it’s a group recognition. For me, that’s everything,” he said.

DEADLINE: This is your first Emmy nomination. How does it feel to receive that accolade?
MOSS-BACHRACH: Truthfully, it feels so great because so many of us got nominated — for sound mixing, and our great casting director, Jeanie Bacharach, and Chris, our showrunner… it’s his baby. Ayo and Jeremy, [too], I’m so excited that it’s a group recognition. For me, that’s everything.
