We just finished watching the entire 11 seasons. I still think my favourite scene is Phil christening / Godfather.
Where are they now? is a good question.
Ed O'Neill is still working - was in TV series Clipped last year. He's 79. Sofia Vergara's most significant work has been 2024's Griselda as a ruthless cartel head - she was Emmy and Golden Globe nominated. Rico Rodriguez has taken to posting pictures of himself trying to look cool on Insta.
Over in the Dunphy family, Ty Burrell has done voiceover for Amy Poehler's animated comedy Duncanville (not that highly rated), Julie Bowen was in drama The Fallout (2021) and also voiced an animated show. Sarah Hyland's been in a Pitch Perfect TV series, Ariel Winter has also done loads of voice work and Nolan Gould is fairly low billed in rated drama Miranda's Victim, with Abigail Breslin.
Meanwhile Jesse Tyler Ferguson has appeared in The Good Fight, the notorious Cocaine Bear and 2024 drama All That We Loved. Eric Stonestreet and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons neither much of significance.
According to Buzzfeed the adult actors were earning $30-60,000 an episode in Season 1 (Ed a bit more - $95,000 plus a share of profits), which is still a hell of a lot, but $500,000 an episode by the end! When you consider that had 18 episodes, each one earned $9 million and the combined budget for the top stars was $54 mil! So - no one has to work, basically.
