98 acting credits Yeah, you’re right. He’s soooooooooo undervalued. Instead of hiring him for his talents, every producer and director he’s ever worked for must have hired him out of pity.
Yep. 'Forks' is my favorite episode of the entire series. The dinner in fishes was good drama, but 'Forks' was a great development piece....and the chocolate covered banana scene between Richie and Uncle Jimmy. Great job and subtle mastery with that character Mr. Platt.
What brings Forks and Fishes together is the chocolate covered banana scene in which Oliver Platt acts beautifully. The culmination of Richie finally understanding his purpose, the audience being shown how he remembered this minute detail from 5 years ago, and the impact it could have on another person.. Just a great bit of TV.
I almost cried watching the Forks episode. It was so amazing to watch Richie's transformation. I want to see that transformation in myself. It's inspiring, because I'm there. Don't know where I belong, which career path to take, low on motivation, miserable, because I feel like the people around me have discovered their passions and are thriving and I'm just wasting time getting older and am not where I want to be in life. Seeing his transformation makes me feel like it's not too late for me to get it together.
The first episode of season three is a fucking masterpiece. There isn't a week link in the cast. The Liz Colon Zayas episode where she meets Michael is right there with it. Just exceptional tv.
@@debbiedoodiedandi Between Tina's ep and the premiere looking into carmy up to the bear.. Man. This might be a filler season but this was the best filler season to my memory of any show
Napkins was the standout ep of the whole season to me!! Tina’s actress is absolutely SLAYING that role (the range of emotions she’s gotten to show and Tina’s growth are masterful. Plus the fact that Ayo Edibiri directed that episode is 😯
I fell in love with Oliver Platt way back in The Three Musketeers and have followed him ever since. Great actor! And The Bear is just incredible all-around. 🙌🏼
That episode is one of the most uncomfortably intense episodes of tv I’ve ever seen. Such a great episode, so many different personalities and so many different emotions. I loved it
He's right. "Forks" is so amazing. Just beautiful. You're so proud of Richie finally coming into his own. I couldn't watch "Fishes" all at once. I started crying about 15 minutes in because it hit so close to home and was just too hard to watch. I had to take a break and couldn't get back to it for a few days. Started crying almost right away again.
@@JR-pf9in Why are you arguing? I asked a simple question about which part made them start crying first. You didn’t answer it either. You just wanted to argue about what makes people cry in general.
@roems6396 I didn't mean for my comment to sound like I was trying to start an argument. I misinterpreted your original comment. I'm sorry for that. I definitely did cry a bit at the scene you mentioned, and the part where Donna is yelling at Natalie while she tries to calm her mother down. Overall, it's hard for me to pinpoint which moment any tears or emotional reaction started because the entire episode was so intense. The cast did a great job, but I found Jon Berthal's performance particularly tragic.
@@roems6396 Oh, I didn't see this question until now. But for me, it was a combination of everything going on at once. The blowhard guys trying to one-up each other, the mom drinking more and more and trying to make it "special" even though nobody else cared, the escalation of the constant noise in the house knowing that it was only going to get worse as the episode went on. The snide comments, the poking at each other for no reason, the arguments, people getting offended by innocent observations. I knew exactly how it was going to go, because family events always ended up like that. There was a lot of that when I was growing up.
Oliver Platt brings it, I'll watch whatever he's in ever since the West Wing. "Fishes" can't really be topped, but it's something I probably won't re-watch. So much chaos and familiarity with how a family can devolve over an evening that hit very close to home. Oliver is right about Forks though too. I'd put it up against the last episode of Shoresy season 1. Favorite moment is when they're briefing the reservations for that night and the supervisor says that the check will not get dropped on the teacher who's life-long dream was to eat there. That whole scene is a masterpiece.
Mikey's throwing forks in the Fishes episodes. Richie's cleaning forks in the Forks episode. Then, they run out of forks in the finale. This of course was done on purpose, but it's one of those things that you don't think about right away. It's the subtlety, that turns a good show into a great one. When you are able to walk away from the show, think about it, then say, "hold on, that connected to that, and that in episode 3 connected to that in episode 8." When that happens, you're really watching a piece of art.
I agree. As much as I love Fishes and how it's a great peak into why everyone is the way they are "Forks" was definitely the feel good episode that we deserved. That episode was a great punchline to that conversation Richie and Carmy had in the basement where Richie expressed his fear about being rejected for not having a place in the restaurant and his feelings of inadequacy. Carmy showed Richie what Richie couldn't see himself.
Fishes is the greatest episode of television ever made in my opinion. Its comedic at the perfect times, as dramatic as possible at other times, anxiety inducing at all times, and jam packed full of elite acting. Its an absolute masterpiece.
@jp1170 Forks IS better as a feel good episode but in terms of acting, Fishes is really, really good. It’s far from the greatest episode in TV history, though.
Love this guy so much. He’s been killing it for 40 years in tv and film. Fishes and forks are one of the best back to back episodes of tv ever. Both incredible anxiety inducing but for different reasons
I agree with Oliver that "Forks" was absolutely amazing. "Fishes" is brilliant, one of the best episodes of television, and yet "Forks" somehow tops it in a way. It is so hard to follow up an episode like "Fishes", so the fact that "Forks" DOES meet and then top it is truly spectacular
I don't care what the reviews are saying. This show is by far the best series out. Season 3 is amazing. But you have to be passionate about food to love this show. I am a sous chef and totally understand this show. My entire kitchen looked forward to season 3 and we all love it.
I suck at cooking but i love it, anyone who watches this will love it even without knowledge of culinary stuff like i do. I think psychological stuff is very relatable no matter what industry you are in. Its peoples lives that makes this a gem, the T episode, the birth episode (I cried because I can relate about parent dynamics), no cooking in it, just people living and going thru the life like anyone.
As chef of 12 years whose worked in some horrendous places and also coming from a dysfunctional life - every thing in this show they got down pat. From the panic attacks, the anxiety to the ptsd flashbacks, the trivial bickering to how you talk to your chefs to the smoke breaks. Felt like i was watching a clip of my life in some episodes!
Fishes and Forks are some of the best tv ever!!!!! I’m so glad they kept developing the Uncle Jimmy role. I’m from the Chicago area and Oliver Platt nails a certain way that some Chicagoans speak and act. Amazing.
Agreed. And Oliver is not from Chicago. His dad was a diplomat so he grew up all over, including literally next door to my family on Oliver Street (no joke) in Washington DC.
I am literally watching "forks" and seeing that scene where Richie's ex wife calls him to tell him about the engagement broke me. Especially that part when Ritchie tells her "i love you" and the train overhead passes. This show is pure gold!
I literally had to call my theater friend and GUSH about this episode. I'm not a theater person or anything, but watching this.. *mind blown* like, first you get sucked into what's going on, but if you actually think about it. How incredible this whole cast of actors are, they are literally reading this from a script and its seamless, one character dances with another, who hands it off to another character without a break. This is the best example of exemplary writing and acting bringing something to life. Bravo to that entire cast.
I’m so happy Oliver brought up the scene in Fishes when Ritchie and his elf wife have that sweet moment upstairs and the juxtaposition of it with their phone conversation the next episode. What happened that brought them to that point? One of the most realest depictions of love against the absolute heartbreak of where they are now. Brilliance.
The show is more than good enough to be released in a weekly schedule rather than all at once. There’s soooo much that happens in every episode that if we all took the time to really digest each one, it would probably turn this show into one of the greatest shows in history.
I'd argue that the Christmas episode is the most important episode of the season. They ROMANTICIZED Mikey. He was so beloved. But everyone treated it like it was a shock. No, it wasn't. Dude was using heavily for a long time. You have to show signs. This humanized Mikey. He wasn't this amazing brother that let his addiction ruin him. No, he was a functioning addict, that was shitty to his family. Understandably, but he was shitty. This gave him so many more layers. It gave layers to everyone. It explained so much in just one episode.
Mr. Platt talking about narrative and characters changing is why I watch TV and films. Its about a journey. I wish there was more TV as good as "Forks" and positive feel good growth like with Ritchie's character. Ted Lasso, Shrinking and Shoresy give me some of that.
Someone said that the first episode in season three, “Tomorrow, is a masterpiece. I agree. I have also listened to it with my eyes closed in my recliner a number of times as a meditation, it’s that good. Watching it transports me into different timelines, all captivating in their own ways. Can you name one other piece of television that can do this? I’ll bet not.
Fishes is the best episode, I understand why people like Forks more, it’s such a feel good storyline, but Fishes is the better episode imo. So many fantastic performances from everyone involved in the show
Fishes was the amazing stage performance that felt like real life because many of us have lived it in one sense or another. Forks is the redemption that we all aspire to happen to people we care for. Oliver Platt is amazing and love everything he's done.
The stress you feel is off the charts. I'm rewatching the show via a TH-cam reaction video channel. They are getting close to "fishes" and I can't wait for them to see it. I wonder if Mr Platt or anyone on the show has watched any TH-cam reaction channels?
Bear "Forks" how through the whole show "Every Second Counts" is hanging over the shop as a deadline, threat. Then that last time you see it and it shifts the whole episode in the last 5 mins of the show. Amazing.
Season3/Episode 8 is an absolute masterclass in acting between Abby Elliot and Jamie Lee Curtis. Hulu even halted commercials for the entire hospital scene.
Fishes is an amazing episode but it just makes me so fucking anxious, I struggle to rewatch. Forks is my favorite episode, it’s just amazing to see Richie click, and his personal growth.
I just started watching this show two days ago have kept it off and actually forgot about the show and when I saw it I was like now is the time had no clue what it was about.
Huge reason why that scene worked so well is because a lot of those stunt casts are actually from Chicago. So while it was crazy that John mulaney and Bob Odenkirk show up, they’re actually from Chicago, so it wasn’t too out of place.
I kinda feel like Platt's character is going to be the secret villain of the whole show. Not because he's going to turn all mobster, but because he seems to keep everyone stuck thinking that their old way of doing things is the best way, because it always worked for him. And he doesn't seem to care that it's not working for them.
I love the scene at the table when Richie's wife thanks Platt for helping him out with the job. Platt and Cousin's reactions, and how Platt handles it - so good.
Season 2 might be some of the best TV ever created. Absolutely brilliant!
fr bro 😭🙏
Agreed, season 2 is S-tier end to end
Mr. Platt, undervalued, yet always a joy to watch. Thank you, sir.

@@cwg73160 undervalued within the framework of the film or TV show. Not about being a working actor. Hope your day is pleasant.
He was one of my favorite actors in the history of Three Musketeers movies and his performance in West Wing made him one of my favorite actors.
@@seankane9279 If he was a leading man, he’d have many leading roles. But he doesn’t. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

Amen, sir
100%
Love Richie development in that episode. It really gave me hope in a situation of work struggle.
10000%. Forks is one of the best episodes of television I’ve ever seen. It was incredible to watch someone find purpose

His face when he sees the chocolate banana. Chefs kiss on his acting. It was moving.
I almost cried watching the Forks episode. It was so amazing to watch Richie's transformation. I want to see that transformation in myself. It's inspiring, because I'm there. Don't know where I belong, which career path to take, low on motivation, miserable, because I feel like the people around me have discovered their passions and are thriving and I'm just wasting time getting older and am not where I want to be in life. Seeing his transformation makes me feel like it's not too late for me to get it together.
the realization moment when he goes "wait he is not trying to screw me?"
I had one tear running down my cheek moment.
Every second counts.
The best kind of anti hero. Where you see that he has flaws he has his habits and is influenced by his environment but has a good heart.
The first episode of season three is a fucking masterpiece. There isn't a week link in the cast. The Liz Colon Zayas episode where she meets Michael is right there with it. Just exceptional tv.
Tina's episode (Napkins), might be my favorite of the season.
@@debbiedoodiedandi Between Tina's ep and the premiere looking into carmy up to the bear.. Man. This might be a filler season but this was the best filler season to my memory of any show

Christmas dinner was probably the most manic feeling episode I've ever seen filmed in cinematography. It was bonkers, and incredible episode....
I fell in love with Oliver Platt way back in The Three Musketeers and have followed him ever since. Great actor! And The Bear is just incredible all-around. 🙌🏼
I feel that is a highly underrated movie. Awesome cast.
Super underrated actor. Classic "that guy". Been great in a 100 things and most don't know his name.

You are forgetting the cinematic masterpiece that is Lake Placid!
Jamie Lee Curtis was incredible in that episode
Jamie Lee has an amazing episode in season 3 as well, with Nat.
Funny that I watched New Girl before this, JLC was also a dysfunctional mum to the main character there
I felt for her playing the mom. The acting was beautiful.

Honestly. I cried watching forks. The scene where Richie and chef terry are talking and the realization of every second counts gets me every time
Jamie Lee Curtis and Sarah Paulson showing up heightened my anticipation for that episode and it definitely didn’t disappoint.
Oliver Platt always knows the assignment
Rich and Sean Evans are the two best interviewers alive right now
FISHES was def one of the biggest emotional rollacoaster in TV. FORK Was a feel good motivational work of art.💪

So many fabulous actors in the The Bear to like. For me, it continues to be Oliver Platt. He delivers.
Forks is also my favorite episode in season 2.
"That's my freakin' boi right there!"

Love this dude. Genually feels like a loving uncle. Hard on you but full of love and support

Forks is my favorite also! But oh man Fishes is sooooo intense, its really great.
For any Oliver Platt fans- if you haven't seen him in 'Bulworth', go see it
forks will forever be my fav episode. but Tomorrow is a close second. I've always loved Oliver Platt since his snarky nerdy act in Miami Vice
The moment of realization in a commercial kitchen can be a beautiful thing.
That ep. was so good...that I didn't even realize that it was Jamie Lee Curtis for like a half an hour.

Did they mention the Cubs story during the interview. Mr. Platt is marvelous.
One of my favorite episodes in TV history
First saw him as The King in Ready to Rumble😂. Love that movie.
I've always loved this actor!
Best episode of the series hands down!
That episode was what stopped me dead in my tracks in watching this show. I don't need that much fictitious anxiety in my life.
Oliver Pratt was absolutely brilliant in Chicago Med
Fishes is an amazing episode but it just makes me so fucking anxious, I struggle to rewatch. Forks is my favorite episode, it’s just amazing to see Richie click, and his personal growth.
Dude I’ve loved him since Three Musketeers
I just started watching this show two days ago have kept it off and actually forgot about the show and when I saw it I was like now is the time had no clue what it was about.
Amazing scene.
Oliver Platt, who looks so much like my late father from Chicago in The Bear, it's scary to see.
Love your handle Coop😮
Oliver Platt 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
There were a couple great episodes this season! 👍🏼
Was a great episode
Ya i think fishes and forks have to be my favorite episodes for sure.
Huge reason why that scene worked so well is because a lot of those stunt casts are actually from Chicago. So while it was crazy that John mulaney and Bob Odenkirk show up, they’re actually from Chicago, so it wasn’t too out of place.
John Mulaney gave one of the best on-screen speeches I have ever seen in that episode too. a master class in story telling.
I kinda feel like Platt's character is going to be the secret villain of the whole show. Not because he's going to turn all mobster, but because he seems to keep everyone stuck thinking that their old way of doing things is the best way, because it always worked for him. And he doesn't seem to care that it's not working for them.
Powerful, moving cinema❤
everyone should watch Fishes episode. But Forks really is my favorite episode
Oliver platt is the best
Always thought Oliver would have made a great Artemus Gordon to say Matthew Mcconaghey as James West a few years back. Great actor
Forks is my favorite episode.
Such a good show.
Love Rich's shirt 😊
I love the scene at the table when Richie's wife thanks Platt for helping him out with the job. Platt and Cousin's reactions, and how Platt handles it - so good.
Been a fan since Diggstown fantastic character actor he’s great in the Bear
Fishes to Forks is indeed an exceptional double - the depths of depression to the heights of euphoria
How much was improvised?
I bought my Berf shirt seconds after "Cousin" showed it to Carmie. "It's a collectors item"
Always enjoyed Oliver Platts acting, he always makes his character shine. It’s too bad season 3 was a thumbs down compared to the first two seasons.
Forever Porthos
your microphones have a high pitched whine when someone speaks into them, mostly on the guest's mic.
Wow he actually sounds quite different from Cicero in real life.
I really wanted Mikey to throw that fork.
Hard agree with Mr Platt. Fishes is a great episode but Forks was even better.
I had to watch Fishes in two sittings. So awesome but soo stressful. Needed a break for my head to get straight haha
How come the Brother (Jon Bernthal) in the tv show who started the restaurant you never see him with the cast or receive an award?
This guy is so talented and I can tell he's a genius but he can't finish a sentence to save his life lmao
I always thought Platt was on the cusp of blowing it out of the water, and then he didn't.
Oliver is starting to look like Harry Caray.
