Selome Hailu Though production on Season 2 of “The Bear” was well underway before Ramy Youssef traveled to Copenhagen to direct the fourth episode, series creator Chris Storer was slow to bring him fully behind the curtain. “He didn’t let me watch anything they had shot [in the first three episodes]. He was like, ‘No, no. You can see it when you come back, but just make this what you think it should be,'” Youssef remembers. Youssef is the first and only person to serve as a director on “The Bear” besides Storer and his co-showrunner Joanna Calo. When a tight production timeline made it impossible for Storer or Calo to direct in Copenhagen on top of nine Chicago-set episodes, Youssef was Storer’s first choice. Storer has been a director and executive producer on Youssef’s Hulu series “Ramy” since its 2019 debut, and had bounced ideas for “The Bear” off of him since “way back when it was a movie idea.”

Ethan Shanfeld SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for Season 2 of “The Bear,” now streaming on Hulu. As introduced in Season 1 of “The Bear,” the lovable, loud-mouthed Cousin Richie is abrasive and stubborn. When Carmy (Jeremy Allen White) takes over his brother’s Italian beef shop and begins enacting Michelin-star leadership over its chaotic kitchen, Richie is the most resistant to change. He makes a fuss about Carmy switching mayonnaise brands. He picks childish, violent fights with his fellow chefs. He deals cocaine out of the back of the restaurant. While Ebon Moss-Bachrach has always played the problem child of the FX kitchen drama with heart, it wasn’t until Season 2 that Richie became the heart of “The Bear.” As he fears becoming a dying breed amid Carmy’s transformation of the sandwich shop into a fine dining experience, Richie earns a worthy redemption arc and finds his purpose.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor Avid car collector Robert Downey Jr. isn’t sure how many cars he actually owns. “About 20,” the Marvel actor said at the Los Angeles premiere of his new Max series, “Downey’s Dream Cars. “The fact that I don’t know the exact number speaks to the fact that I need to convert more of my cars.” “Downey’s Dream Cars” chronicles a team of auto experts who convert traditional gas-powered cars into electric vehicles. The program was inspired by RDJ’s Footprint Coalition, his 4-year-old environmental organization that works to mitigate climate change.
