Ebon Moss-Bachrach Wins Best Supporting Actor at Emmys, Thanks Family and Feline Friend

Actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach was awarded Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for his performance in the acclaimed show “The Bear.” This marks the second time he has received this recognition within the same year due to scheduling anomalies.

Taking the stage to accept his award, Moss-Bachrach expressed gratitude to his parents for taking care of his beloved cat. His heartfelt thanks extended to his human children as well, showcasing his love for both his pet and family.

The character portrayed by Moss-Bachrach, Richie, explores his identity as both a “Suit Guy” and a “Taylor Swift guy” in the show’s second season. Although the third season lacked explicit references to his affinity for Swift, Moss-Bachrach’s mention of his cat during his acceptance speech lightly alluded to his personal and professional passions.

Moss-Bachrach is known for his limited presence on social media, but he occasionally shares personal moments, including a recent Instagram post of his cat, affectionately captioned “Sonny!” His connection to fellow cat lover Taylor Swift adds another layer to his award night homage.

During the ceremony, a notable moment occurred when co-star Ayo Edebiri warmly embraced Moss-Bachrach upon his win. Moss-Bachrach also reached out to shake Edebiri’s father’s hand, highlighting a sense of camaraderie and familial affection among the cast, which was echoed in Jeremy Allen White’s acceptance speech.
