‘The Bear’ Actor Matty Matheson Debuts Hardcore Band Pig Pen

Matty Matheson, known as an actor on 'The Bear,' has debuted a new hardcore band called Pig Pen.

Chef and actor Matty Matheson, known for playing Neil on The Bear, announced he has launched a new band. He joined The Bear as handyman Neil Fak in its first season and has since won a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. The book centers on the “iconic trinity,” and includes recipes for comfort classics like the Cubano sandwich and “Everyone’s Mom’s Macaroni and Tuna Salad.” It’s the kind of cooking that’s more in line with the no-frills sandwich shop from The Bear’s first season than the eponymous fine-dining establishment of the second and third seasons.
