The Detroit News selected six actors who give major zing to minor roles, one of them was Modern Family’s Rico Rodriguez :

‘Modern Family’

(9 p.m. Wednesdays, ABC)
Character: Manny Delgado
Actor: Rico Rodriguez
Catch phrase or signature: No catch phrase but his droll delivery is undeniable.
How he steals the show: Wise beyond his years, Manny quotes William Shakespeare and plans love affairs with older women. At 11, Rodriguez was a relative unknown before this freshman comedy debuted; now he’s one of the most beloved kids on TV.

We are proud to announce that after many requests we opened the “Modern Family” Forums. the “Modern Family” Forums is your place to chat with fellow Modern Family fans, review episodes, and post opinions about the characters — this is the place to grow our Modern Family community.

NY Magazine has an interview with THE star of Modern Family, Rico Rodriguez. Here are the highlights:

How did you feel about landing a sitcom?
When I was going on auditions, it was nerve-racking. I’d always say to my mom that it would be awesome if I could get a series. When Modern Family came along, I said, “You know what, Mom? I believe I’m going to get this role.”

I’d ask you for your favorite acting job so far, but I’m guessing it’s Manny.
Yes, because I’ve never been that type of character before, but also a role on NCIS. It was my first action-type drama show. I was one of three main boys who find a gun and then they find a dead body, so that was fun.

Do you have any particular wishes for Manny?
To get a girlfriend. It would be cool to have a fake girlfriend.

Somebody get Manny a girlfriend quick… Any volunteers?

Don’t forget – you can still get “Who Da Manny” T-shirts.

Zap2It has some news about Modern Family. Here is some of it:

There’s a trip to Maui in the fam’s future. Everyone from baby Lily on up to big old Jay (Ed O’Neill) has a plane ticket booked. Only problem is little Manny (Rico Rodriguez) may or may not be on a no-fly list.

The adorable Rico Rodriguez visited Ellen to tell her all about his role as Manny on “Modern Family.” He shared some stories from the set, and what he does with his paychecks — get those ICEEs ready!

The 10 best lines from last night’s episode of Modern Family based on EW (in descending order):

10. “Let’s tuck our pants into our socks.”

9. “Yeah, you’re right. I don’t need it. An extension cord works pretty good.”

8. “I used to have a machete, but times have changed.”

7. “People are gonna stare. They’re not used to seeing one clown in a car.”

6. “Girlfriend’s gonna get stung!”

5. “I’ve tried everything to get her attention. Opening doors, having a milk sent over in the cafeteria. Nothing’s worked.”

4. “A gift card? Who hurt you?”

3. “She can’t go 10 minutes without her boyfriend’s tongue in her mouth. It’s like he’s feeding a baby bird.”

2. “Let me know if you get low on supplies. I’ll make a quick run back to the 1950s for you.”

1. “I am brave. Roller coasters? I love ‘em. Scary movies? I’ve seen Ghostbusters like seven times. I regularly drive through neighborhoods that have only recently been gentrified. So yeah, I’m pretty much not afraid of anything.”

And some review from Alan Sepinwall:

The highlight of “Fizbo” was, of course, Fizbo himself, and how seriously Cam/Eric Stonestreet threw himself into the part. Every time I think that the contrast of Cam’s gregarious nature and Mitchell’s more introverted, judgmental qualities is going to get old, we get a hysterical talking head like the one where Cameron outlined the four types of clowns, followed by Mitchell creating the marvelous assembly of words that is “weird gay clown uncle.”

Rico Rodriguez continues to be wonderful as Manny. The character doesn’t know how to tell the Interrupting Cow joke (or its funnier/more aggressive spin-off, Interrupting Starfish), but Rodriguez can even find a way to make Manny’s sad bouncing funny. (Gloria being ogled by the dads was more predictable, but when you put Sofia Vergara on a show with a bouncy castle, some things just have to happen the way they’re gonna, I suppose.)

We got a more sarcastic side of Phil than usual (I liked him offering to go on a supply run to the 1950s to get Claire some more crafts), which then nicely offset his pathological clown fear.

A very funny, very satisfying episode, and one that’ll hold me until the next new one in two weeks.
