Every Celebrity Guest Star in 'The Bear' Season 4 originally appeared on Parade.
If you're a celebrity traveling through Chicago in the spring, it feels like a requisite for you to stop by The Bear production for a cameo. The restaurant drama has been adding incredible guest stars to the roster since Season 1, and the list keeps growing.
The show centers on Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) as he tries to turn his family's beef sandwich joint into a Michelin star restaurant with his protege Syd (Ayo Edebiri). He's assisted by his sister Nat/Sugar (Abby Elliott) and his cousin, Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). Multiple members of the Berzatto family and the extended clan either work at the restaurant or pass through, allowing The Bear to cast some serious heavy-hitters to fill out the Berzatto fa mily tree.
The breakout Season 2 episode, "Fishes," gave us our biggest glimpse at the family as it centered on a Christmas dinner gone awry. It introduced us to the family matriarch, Donna (Jamie Lee Curtis), as well as multiple uncles and cousins. Those family members have popped up on different occasions (or in different flashbacks) since then. But Season 4 gave everyone a chance to be in the same room together.
Richie's ex-wife Tiff (Gillian Jacobs) remarried in Season 4. Her nuptials with Frank (Josh Hartnett) were an excuse to bring the Berzattos back together, making for another star-studded affair. All of those famous faces can be hard to keep track of, especially when trying to remember how they fit into the family as a whole. Don't worry, Parade is here with a full breakdown of the Berzatto family tree, and which celebrity plays which family member.

Donna (Jamie Lee Curtis)Jamie Lee Curtis as Donna in 'The Bear'
Donna is the matriarch of the Berzatto family and the mother of Carmy, Nat, and Mikey. She has an estranged relationship with Carmy after she drove a car through the Berzatto family living room during a chaotic Christmas dinner. The incident inspired Carmy to move to New York to pursue his culinary dreams more seriously.
Mikey (Jon Bernthal)Jon Bernthal as Mikey in 'The Bear'FX
Mikey is Donna's eldest son and Carmy and Nat's older brother. He was the original Berzatto sibling to take over The Beef before we were introduced to the family in Season 1. He takes his own life before the series began, which brings Carmy back to Chicago to take over the family business. He struggled with drugs and depression throughout his adulthood, but he was Carmy's ultimate idol.
Uncle Jimmy (Oliver Platt)Oliver Platt as Uncle Jimmy in 'The Bear'FX
Jimmy is Carmy's uncle and the primary investor in The Bear. It's strongly implied in the first season of The Bear that Jimmy has ties to the mob, and that's how he makes his fortune. He's a tough guy, but he's loyal to his family and does want to see Carmy and his siblings succeed.
Uncle Lee (Bob Odenkirk)Jeremy Allen White as Carmy and Bob Odenkirk as Uncle Lee in 'The Bear'FX
Better Call Saul star Bob Odenkirk plays Uncle Lee on The Bear. He's Carmy, Nat, and Mikey's uncle on their father's side and has an implicit romantic relationship with Donna. Carmy is not a fan of his uncle, but it's revealed in Season 4 that Lee became very close with Mikey before he died, and he was the only one to lay eyes on Carmy at Mikey's funeral.
Michelle (Sarah Paulson)Gillian Jacobs as Tiff and Sarah Paulson as Michelle in 'The Bear'FX
Michelle is a Berzatto cousin and lives in New York with her husband. She let Carmy sleep on her couch when he moved to the city to improve his culinary resume, and is very close with Tiff.
Stevie (John Mulaney)John Mulaney as Stevie in 'The Bear'FX
Stevie is related to the Berzattos by marriage. He's married to Michelle and the pair live in New York. At both family gatherings that we've seen him attend so far, Stevie has appeared to be in cahoots with the Fak brothers and their hare-brained schemes.
Tiff and Frank (Gillian Jacobs and Josh Hartnett)Josh Hartnett as Frank and Gillian Jacobs as Tiff in 'The Bear'FX
Tiff is also related to the Berzattos by marriage. She is Richie's (Ebos Moss-Bachrach) ex-wife and the mother of his child. She gets married to Frank in Season 4 of The Bear, and she confesses to Jimmy at the wedding that she was worried that she'd lose the Bear in the divorce. Jimmy assured her that she'd always be a member of the fam, so she and Frank have earned their spot on this list.
Francie Fak (Brie Larson)Brie Larson as Francie Fak in 'The Bear'FX
Francine is another Fak sibling, which makes her a surrogate cousin to the Berzatto clan. She is introduced in Season 4 as Nat's former-best-friend-now-enemy. The two manage to hash it out and become friends again by the end of Tiff's wedding, officially bringing Francie back into the Berzatto family fold.
Sammy Fak (John Cena)Ricky Staffieri as Theodore and John Cena as Sammy in 'The Bear'FX
Larson isn't the only A-Lister in the Fak family. The Bear Season 3 introduced WWE star and action hero John Cena as Sammy Fak, the fourth Fak sibling. He is an agent of chaos and just as goofy as his brothers.
