‘The Bear’ Breakout Lionel Boyce Had ‘Much More Respect’ for Main Cast After Marcus-Centered Episode
Lionel Boyce opens up about his first Emmy nomination for his role in 'The Bear,' and homing in on Marcus during Seasons 2 and 3.
“I didn’t buy Wi-Fi, and I forgot to put my phone on airplane mode, so I got a random text saying, ‘Hot damn!’ I woke up all confused, and there were a couple of people on the plane who knew, so they said, ‘Congrats’ and stuff.” Boyce, who plays pastry chef Marcus in FX’s “The Bear” and also goes by L-Boy, says it was “weird, but sick” discovering that he had received a nomination for best supporting actor in the series, one of the show’s 23 total Emmy noms, breaking the record for the most nods for a comedy, previously set by “30 Rock.” Even though this is his first nomination for a comedy series, Boyce isn’t new to the genre: he was part of the musical group Odd Future — which boasted artists like Tyler, the Creator, Frank Ocean andEarl Sweatshirt.
