Launched in September 2009, the ABC comedy series ended in April 2020 after 11 seasons. The cast included Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ed O’Neill, Sofia Vergara, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, Sarah Hyland, Ariel Winter, Nolan Gould, Rico Rodriguez and Aubrey Anderson-Emmons.

Stonestreet recalled his first impressions upon meeting the cast: “I thought, ‘Wow, now I have a lot of new people that I’m going to grow old with and know for the rest of my life.’ I didn’t believe I would know Jesse Tyler Ferguson for the rest of my life, or that Ed O’Neill would be my friend. And now, I can’t believe I spent 11 years in the series with him.”

The actor also reflected on how the love and friendship between the cast contributed to the success of the series. “Our love for each other dictated how amazing the show would be, along with the writing, directing and producing. It wouldn’t be as successful if we weren’t great individually and then collaborated as a tight-knit group.”

In addition to the cast connection, Eric mentioned how his co-workers influenced decisions in his personal life, such as building his home in Kansas City, Kansas, with his fiancée Lindsay Schweitzer. “We created spaces thinking about receiving Jesse Tyler Ferguson, or even Sofía [Vergara]if she’s passing through Kansas City,” told.
