\nLike many things in Hollywood, Nelson’s decision to pass on the project came down to money. “I really wanted to do Modern Family<\/em>,” Nelson said. “I really liked the script and I liked the people. I just said, \u2018You know what? I\u2019ve been doing this too long.\u2019 We\u2019re in the middle of a cutback here, ladies and gentlemen, in Hollywood and salaries have gone way, way down … I just felt disrespected to tell you the truth.” The next year, Nelson signed on for Parenthood<\/em>.<\/p>\n
\nStonestreet began dressing up as Fizbo when he was nine years old (his dream was to be a clown in the circus). By the time he was 11, he was performing at kids’ birthday parties. “It was my way then as a young man to express my desire to entertain and perform,” he told The Kansas City Star<\/em>.\u00a0“I didn\u2019t know what I was saying then was that I wanted to be an actor. I had parents, fortunately, who didn\u2019t think I was weird. They thought it was funny and cute and encouraged me to do it. And I had a grandma who would make my costumes.” He doesn\u2019t know where the name Fizbo came from.<\/p>\n
\nSofia Vergara watched Married … with Children<\/em> growing up in Colombia, where the voices were dubbed into Spanish. She didn\u2019t realize that it wasn’t Ed O\u2019Neill saying Al Bundy\u2019s lines in Spanish, and was surprised to find that he couldn\u2019t speak her native language when they first met. \u201cHe had a very sexy Antonio Banderas voice, the guy who was dubbing him,\u201d said Vergara.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
