The clue, "___ Allen White, star of TV's 'The Bear'", is from the August 16 NYT Mini Crossword puzzle. If this isn't a modern show you've been watching, first of all why not, and second of all, solving this clue is going to be a tough one. But here are a few clues to help you out, and if you still can't solve it, I've included the answer, too.
The answer to the clue “___ Allen White, star of the TV series 'The Bear'” is “JEREMY.” Jeremy Allen White is the lead actor in The Bear, who you might also recognize as Lip Gallagher in Shameless or Kerry Von Erich in The Iron Claw.
I am one of those who has yet to watch The Bear, so I had no idea who the lead character was. Even more difficult is that I have not seen anything Jeremy Allen White has been in, be it TV or movies. I didn't know what to do with this one; I only solved this clue using the first and last letters, and Jeremy was the only name I knew that fit. In terms of difficulty, I would give this one a four out of five.
