One of the most impressive castings I’ve ever seen is Frank Dunphy, Phil Dunphy’s dad from modern family. They look EXACTLY alike and the acting is so spot on. Like I literally think about it on all the episodes with Frank. I’m amazed by it. I had to look up the actors to see if they were actually father and son.

Cameron (talking about raising children): The hardest part for me was explaining to Lily the difference between boys and girls. I knew the time had come but I kept putting it off. Finally I decided it was time to take the bull by the horns.
Phil: So you told her?
Cameron: No - I took the bull by the horns, turned him around and showed her what makes a bull a bull.
Gloria: You are kidding, Cameron?
Cameron: No! That's how my mother taught me.
Gloria: Honey, didn't that give you a false impression about... what a man would look like?
Cameron: It sure did! Can you imagine my surprise on my first night with Mitchell? Boy, that bull would have been jealous.
WAIT YOU WROTE A MODERN FAMILY FIC?!?
that’s beautiful, Liz
now I’m sorta interested- can I have more details on what it was about 👀
I NEVER FINISHED IT UNFORTUNATELY 😭
Thank you, Chris
Omg um yeah so basically I’m always sad so eventually if I get attached enough to a sitcom I have to make it sad… so I’m not sure where we were in the series at that point (we have long since finished it), but there was one episode that focused a lot of Phil & people wanting him to take things seriously so I was like… what if I make this REAL SERIOUS and um… tw make him attempt suicide
Is it out of character? Possibly BUT I would like to argue that NO because a lot of the times the people who are trying to make everyone else smile are the ones who are hurting the most :)
So yes… that is the premise, basically. 😭
THANK YOU FOR BEING INTERESTED!!
Random fact about me: I once started writing an angsty Modern Family fanfiction. That’s it, that’s the fact. And it was centered around Phil. Well, I guess is. I never deleted it.

the callbacks to s1 in s11 of modern family are making me wanna bawl
Is it just me, or do I think Phil looks like Mark Webber, or am I going crazy? 🤡
