Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson on “The View”
“Modern Family” stars Eric Stonestreet and Jesse Tyler Ferguson were on “The View” today. They play a gay couple who recently adopted an infant from Vietnam. The story hits home with Jesse; he’s a professional and active gay man . Eric is “openly straight” and had hoped doing the show would get him a lot of girls. He said he gets calls, but mostly from “burly men”.
Jesse uses three names “so the bastards who made fun of me in high school know who I am”. Jesse wants to dress as Lady Gaga for Halloween.

Eric Stonestreet Reveals Cameron’s Backstory on “Modern Family”
Televisionary Blog has an interview with Eric Stonestreet , where they talk more about Cam’s past.
Here are some interesting parts from the interview:
“It’s revealed [in the episode we're shooting] this week that Cameron has a clowning background and is a classically-trained auguste clown named Fizbo,” Stonestreet told me. “The episode is entitled ‘Fizbo’ and that’s where it comes full circle for me.”
“Mitchell, of course, is just not into it,” Stonestreet said of Cameron’s clown past. “When I ask Phil if there’s going to be a clown [at Luke’s birthday party], I just can’t for the life of me understand who would throw a party and not have a clown and Mitchell is just like, ‘Cam, let it go. Let it go.’”
Televisionary: Can you tease us then about what else is coming up on Modern Family for Cameron?
Stonestreet: You will also find out that I have a sports background, which is where again they are borrowing from our lives because I played football and was a track and field athlete. But I also liked being a clown on the weekend and doing kids’ parties. It’s just an interesting dynamic and one that they loved and thought was perfect for Cameron. So you definitely find out I have a sports background, I have a clowning background. You start to find out what my occupation may have been before Lily came long. It’s a visual occupation, something that takes a keen eye and an understanding of situations and moments that I really feel is the cornerstone of Cameron’s character.
I say to people that Cameron is a celebrator of life and a celebrator of the moment. He doesn’t let a moment pass. Where we want to just skate through life, my idea of Cameron is someone who celebrates every moment and is very excited and excitable about every moment.

‘Modern Family’ – Cameron (Eric Stonestreet)
One of the best surprises of “Modern Family” is Eric Stonestreet (see IMDb profile), who plays Cameron. The guy is so funny…
Eric just did an interview for Variety in which he said about himself: “I always say I’m the straight version of Cameron,” Stonestreet says. “I’m a little bit flamboyant myself and have a flair for the dramatic. Who says those are bad things? I think they have their place. Cameron doesn’t let moments pass. He is a celebrator of life and people.”
KansasCity ran an article about Eric, who is from Kansas. In the interview Eric said about the audition: “It was the audition every actor wanted, and I know they saw a tremendous number of people,” – we are so glad he got the part.
Here is a clip for you:
