Whether sharing his buzzworthy views on parenting (‘peerenting’ as he calls it) or making his dream of llama ownership come true, it’s no surprise that Modern Family keeps getting renewed year upon year with Phil Dunphy at the helm. What is surprising is how long it’s taken for actor Ty Burrell to find a vehicle that gives him the popularity he deserves. And how long it’s taken Phil to finally do something about that step!

Thanks to the success of Modern Family, Burrell gets the chance to make hilarious turns in big comedy movies like his forever-vacationing French policeman in Muppets Most Wanted, and it’s also paved the way for the actor to write and produce his own ABC sitcom with brother Duncan about his childhood in Oregon. His theatre work on the Broadway and London stage, including classics like Shakespeare’s Richard III, is less well-known but no less acclaimed!

It’s heartening that an actor who for so long was great in not-so-great stuff (remember the Back To You? Me neither!) is finally getting material worthy of his talents. But TV gets the best of Burrell. How can you not love something who thinks WTF stands for ‘Why The Face’?
