Will Poulter’s arrival in the Hollywood circuit was a nondescript event followed by a splattering of teenage comic roles and anti-heroic sidekicks. It wasn’t until his arc in Jeremy Allen White’s seriesThe Bearthat the audience began seeing the actor as a true male lead, worthy not only of the spot at the top but looking every inch deserving of it. Quiet, focused, centered, and gravitational — something about Poulter’s role as Chef Luca drew the audience in like moths to a flame. The attraction to his character didn’t lie in his composed charm but in the unnamed, unspecified weight that he seemed to silently shoulder in his self-isolated corner of the world.

The Bear[Credit: FX]Now that Poulter is reportedly making a comeback inThe BearSeason 3, the urgency attached to the series has grown threefold. The weight of his talent can then be understood as directly proportional to the fondness for the actor’s cameo arc.

But often, there are moments of respite — like whenWill Poulterappears, stranded in his section of the world, making pastries in Amsterdam, being the Yoda to Marcus’ Luke.

Commanding the entire frame when in it, Will Poulter hardly works for attention or demands any sympathy from the viewers. His demure presence doesn’t symbolize defeat but speaks to an immovable determination for his job — both in the context of the story and as an industry actor. His cameo held the entire audience of Season 2’s fourth episode –Honeydew– enthralled and it is only fair that the actor gets to return to expand on his arc since such a character with volumes to speak shouldn’t go to waste for the sake of rarity.

To spoil his larger-than-life role by breaking it down into a series regular who gets entangled in the high-strung drama of everyday kitchen life will draw out all the mysticism that made Poulter’s Chef Luca so attractive in the first place.

I have high hopes that he will become a prominent member of the cast. With his connections to CarMy and Marcus and the restaurant gaining significant attention 🌟, maybe he will even join forces with them. It’s just wishful thinking on my part, but I believe he will definitely…pic.twitter.com/CrhUaPIt37
