'Modern Family' Star Reflects on Criticism of His Character

Jesse Tyler Ferguson, one of the stars of the long-running mockumentary sitcom Modern Family, has addressed the criticism he went through while filiming the hit series. The ABC show wrapped in 2020, after 11 impressive seasons following a diverse (and occasionally dysfunctional) Los Angeles family. Ferguson played Mitch, Cam’s husband and one of Lily’s fathers. Even though they were one of the most loving couples on television, Ferguson has admitted that he faced some backlash from fans because of his portrayal of a gay man.
