One Job = Three Appearances

Zach makes another appearance on "Modern Family" tonight.  He is number 60 on the football team.

I guess he was instructed to play confused in this scene.

 

He shot for two days back in September for (what we thought) was one episode.  He appeared in the episode "First Days" and we realized there would be another appearance in the near future thanks to one plot point that wasn't addressed in the episode.

A few weeks ago, we were catching up on shows on the DVR and started the episode "A Fair To Remember".  There was a shot of Zach at the beginning of the show!

It caught all of us off guard (in a good way).  The episode didn't have much to do with football but it did set the plot point I mentioned above into motion.  The days that Zach filmed featured Manny as a member of the team.  After watching "A Fair To Remember" the three of us remarked, "Ohhhh...That's how he gets on the team." 

 

The football scenes were Zach's second time working on the show.  He (thankfully) had a good time again and walked away being impressed with the cast and crew.  A lot of people have stories about meeting actors and walking away less than impressed thanks to a not so friendly experience.  It's not always the fault of the actor but they (almost) always get the blame for the bad experience. 

 

Zach's had nothing but good experiences on the set.  He really enjoyed discussing football with Eric Stonestreet between takes.

 

If you get a chance, check out #modernfamily tonight and look for my favorite football player in the background.

 

Ready for action at 9/8c and 9pst on ABC.
