Jeremy Allen White plays Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto in the hit dramedy The Bear. The show premiered in 2022 and runs through 2026. Carmy is a fine-dining chef. He leaves that high-pressure world to return to Chicago. His goal? To help run his family’s Italian beef sandwich shop.
It isn’t just about the beef, though. The storyline shifts when he transforms the struggling deli into an upscale restaurant also named The Bear.
He doesn’t do it alone.
Supporting him in this chaotic pivot are key members of the crew. “Cousin” Richie Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) provides a gruff sounding board for Carmy’s often anxious ideas. Then there is Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri). She serves as Carmy’s sous chef. These characters anchor the series as the kitchen dynamics shift from a simple lunch spot to a culinary battleground.
