ActorBorn March 19, 1977 (47 years)
Ebon Moss-Bachrach (/ˈɛbɪn mɑːs ˈbækəræk/) (born March 19, 1977) is an American actor. He is known for his role as restaurant manager Richie Jerimovich in the comedy-drama series The Bear (2022–present), for which he was twice awarded the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in addition to a Golden Globe Award nomination.

Moss-Bachrach has had major television roles on Girls (2014–2017) and NOS4A2 (2019–2020) and appeared in the first season of Andor (2022). In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he has played David "Micro" Lieberman in the first season of The Punisher (2017).

Ebon Moss-Bachrach was born on March 19, 1977, in New York City, the son of Renee Moss and Eric Bachrach, who run a music school in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father was born in Germany to Jewish-American parents.

Moss-Bachrach attended high school at Amherst Regional High School in Massachusetts and graduated from Columbia University in 1999 with a B.A. in English Literature. He initially was an American history major and a music studies major. During his third year of college, he studied abroad in Alicante, Spain, for a semester.

As a child, Moss-Bachrach had a passion for theatre and movies and also loved to read. Some of his favourite authors were Isaac Asimov and Piers Anthony. He spent much of his childhood indoors and described his younger self as an "escapist." In high school, Moss-Bachrach joined the school band and became fond of performing. One of his favourite musical artists was Ornette Coleman.

During his first year of college, Moss-Bachrach took an acting class out of curiosity and quickly became inspired to pursue theater. After the class, he became an apprentice at the Williamstown Theatre Festival to gain some experience in theater. Moss-Bachrach went on to study acting and the Meisner technique at the William Esper Studio in New York City.

Moss-Bachrach had his television breakout playing Desi in the HBO series Girls, which began as a recurring role before he became a series regular in the series' final three seasons. He has subsequently appeared in The Punisher and Andor. For his role in the FX on Hulu series The Bear, he has won two Primetime Emmy Awards.

As of July 2024, Moss-Bachrach is set to portray Ben Grimm/The Thing in The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025), Avengers: Doomsday (2026), and Avengers: Secret Wars (2027).

Moss-Bachrach is married to Ukrainian photographer Yelena Yemchuk, with whom he has two daughters.
