LONDON (AP) — Oliver Platt has been Emmy nominated three times for his guest star appearances. The most recent one came for playing the mysterious Uncle Jimmy in FX’s hot kitchen comedy/drama “The Bear” — a show he worked on while also clocking in as Dr. Daniel Charles in the long-running NBC hospital series “Chicago Med.” Platt’s trailers were only 200 yards apart and he says switching between the characters spiced up the day. He returns for the new season of “The Bear” on June 27 and teases we might get to know a bit more about the money man who isn’t anybody’s real uncle.
