SPOILER ALERT:This list contains spoilers for Season 3 of “The Bear.” “The Bear” wowed audiences in Season 2 with a head-spinning number of guest stars, most of them appearing in one episode as members of the extended Berzatto family. Many of those guest stars — Jamie Lee Curtis, John Mulaney, Gillian Jacobs — are back in Season 3, as well as fan favorites Olivia Colman and Will Poulter, who play fictional chefs in Carmy’s (Jeremy Allen White) orbit. Among the newbies this season are a murderer’s row of culinary legends playing themselves, the real-life spouse of a “Bear” cast member who now plays their on-screen spouse, and a certain WWE star-turned-actor.
For a complete list of Season 3 guest stars, read on. “These lemonheads need more horsepower, so they called a horse.” Another member of the Fak family joins “The Bear” in Season 3, and it’s none other than John Cena, who arrives at the restaurant to help buff the floors. Sammy Fak torments his brothers Neil and Ted, promising to “haunt” them if they don’t “say the password” and admit to stealing SD cards.
Matty Matheson, who plays Neil, told Variety that working with Cena “was a trip.” “He’s bigger than life. He was reading in between takes, and we were all like, ‘What’s that book on his chair?’ He was reading, like, literally a medical doctrine on neurology. It was crazy,” Matheson said.
Josh Hartnett joins “The Bear” as one of Season 3’s biggest guest stars. The “Lucky Number Slevin” and “Oppenheimer” actor plays Frank, the fiancé of Tiffany (Gillian Jacobs), the ex-wife of Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). The two have a sweet but slightly awkward interaction after Richie drops off his daughter.
