Ty Burrell from ‘Modern Family’ answers 7 Questions with Emmy

Every week I’m interviewing exciting people from Idaho and around the world!

Ty Burrell is best known for his Emmy-award-winning role playing Phil Dunphy on “Modern Family.” He was also honored with five Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Ty has also starred in several other performances, lives in Utah and owns several restaurants.

I had a great time chatting with Ty a few months ago and thought we’d share my interview again today.

Here’s what I asked him:

• I know you live in Utah and were raised in Oregon. Have you been to Idaho? And specifically, Idaho Falls, where I am from?
• What is it like raising two daughters and is your parenting approach similar to Phil Dunphy’s?
• You co-own several restaurants. What’s something you wish was on the menu?
• After a big fire in Salt Lake, you joined a campaign to help restaurants affected. Why did you decide to help?
• Can you tell me about your new Audible show?
• How did you keep a straight face playing “Modern Family,” a very funny show?
• What has been your most embarrassing moment on stage or on TV?
