Remembrance
Reiner, who played restaurant consultant Albert before his tragic death, is touchingly featured in the series' concluding episode
The Bear paid tribute to legendary director and actor Rob Reiner during its final episode.
In the last episode of the hit FX series, “The Original Beef of Chicagoland,” line cook Ebra (Edwin Lee Gibson) calls restaurant consultant Albert Schnurr (Reiner) to deliver good news about the eatery’s future. “Albert, we are in business,” Ebra says into his phone. “It’s perfect. I will have all the documents, email it to you immediately. Anything else I can do?”
While viewers don’t hear Albert on the other end of the call, Ebra pauses and then says, “As you wish,” quoting Cary Elwes’ Westley in the Reiner-directed 1987 classic The Princess Bride.
