The Bear, Lionel Boyce and Matty Matheson are in the final series

After the Bear scene

«I wouldn’t say it’s difficult let go The Bear. This is the first step in the switching process. This is the main character of Lionel Boyce, the main character of the FX TV series introducing the chef to Chicago, with a focus on the meaning of the fifth and final stage, available for 26 days on Disney+. After years of following the story of Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Syd (Ayo Edebiri) and the whole gang in search of their first Michelin star, it’s time to find out how this story will end. «I was sad for about a month after filming ended», echoes Boyce another actor from the cast, Matty Matheson who plays Fak in the show.

The last day of set

Matty Matheson continues: «I had never had an experience like this: being part of such a large production and then, suddenly, green and everything ends. It’s safe to say I’m not satisfied with the rest of my life. Then, suddenly, someone said, “It’s the last day here.” And there I realized that they would dismantle everything, that we would never return to that place. Perhaps I had unconsciously avoided thinking about it. It was sad, because this series means so much to all of us. But we’re still here, we’re still friends. Sure, I’ll miss going to Chicago, but I can always pick up the phone and call the people I shared this adventure with. And it’s a beautiful thing.”

Where we were

The starting point of the fifth season is the morning after Carmy’s announcement: the character played by Jeremy Allen White has left the restaurant business. The place therefore remains in the hands of Syd, Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and Natalie (Abby Elliott): A storm is about to destroy Chicago and the partners are struggling with a lack of money and the threat of a sale. This is where the new episodes begin, following a complicated day with the dream of a Michelin star on the horizon. All good, it’s perfect to make a restaurant perfect without being the first person.

Inside the characters

Lionel Boyce, who over in The Bear we also saw Tue in the “night shift” team The Pitt and inside Ave Maria project alongside Ryan Gosling, he has no doubts about his character: «For me, Marcus’ starting point has always been curiosity, it’s a characteristic that I feel is very much mine. He is thrown into a whole new world and dives in headfirst, learning as he goes, as he faces everything life throws at him season after season. It is through curiosity that I follow his path.” While for Matty Matheson and his Fak: «I believe that lazy above all represents empathy. He always tries to make others happy, he loves everyone and only wants the people around Lazy to be well. Sure, he’s not the best prepared or the most professional in his role in the room, but he really tries hard. And trying counts for a lot.”

Nowadays for leadership

“I think you can lead a team with kindness and still be a great leader,” Matheson reflects. The character of the TV series is such a tight, it is a way in which life inside a professional kitchen between nervous breakdowns and nervousness, but, there is an attempt to build a healthier ego in which to respect oneself and feel welcomed. The actor, who has a past as a real chef, continues: «You can be authoritative without giving up sensitivity and understanding. In the end it all comes down to giving all people the tools and support they need to get where you want them to get to. If someone makes a mistake in the preparation of an ingredient or a phase of the dish, they must be given the space to really learn. And whether you need to show him how to do it once, twice, or ten times, that’s part of the job. A chef’s job is to teach, to help others improve. This requires practically infinite impatience and the ability to communicate in a positive way, seeking solutions to problems. It is necessary to prepare the person for preparation and preparation for the next step, allowing much of the capacity to be prepared.
