Modern Family, with its talented multi-generational cast, has seen many of its actors go on to achieve great success.
The ABC sitcom, the brainchild of Christopher Lloyd and Steven Levitan, graced our screens for 11 seasons between 2009 and 2020, and this year marks its 15th anniversary.
With an impressive run of 250 episodes, the comedy centred around an extended family, linked through patriarch Jay Pritchett (Ed O'Neill), residing in suburban Los Angeles.
The series catapulted several stars to fame, including Sofia Vergara, who at one point was the highest-earning actress globally, boasting a reported annual income of 43 million U.S. dollars.
