Jeremy Allen White

Q: Jeremy Allen White has been on quite an awards track lately for “The Bear.” What are some of the other things he has done?

A: Indeed, the actor has been reaping some big rewards for his starring role in the FX-produced Hulu series about life and work at a Chicago sandwich shop. Last month alone, White earned a Primetime Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award (his second) and a Critics’ Choice Award (his second) for his work in the show — among the many other honors it has received, including being named Best (or Outstanding) Comedy Series at all three of those ceremonies in January. Brooklyn, N.Y., native White has been acting professionally since 2006, when he appeared in the movie “Beautiful Ohio” and the short-lived NBC series “Conviction.” He also did guest roles in “Law & Order” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” but his best-known part before “The Bear” likely was that of Phillip “Lip” Gallagher in Showtime’s “Shameless,” maintaining that role throughout the show’s 11-season run. Additionally, he appeared opposite Julia Roberts in the Prime Video series “Homecoming.”

White also has stayed quite active in movies, earning good reviews most recently for the wrestling drama “The Iron Claw.” Among his other films are “Fingernails,” “Fremont,” “The Birthday Cake,” “The Rental,” “After Everything,” “Rob the Mob,” “Bad Turn Worse,” “Movie 43,” “The Time Being,” “Twelve,” “After School” and “The Speed of Life.” Also, White is becoming known as a spokesperson for a popular brand of men’s underwear, a job he began just this year.
