Jesse Tyler Ferguson (2015)

Hi Jesse!

Who is the biggest prankster on the set of Modern Family?

Who is most like their character in Modern Family?

Hey Jesse, big fan!
What has it been like to watch all the kids on Modern Family grow up? i.e. Nolan, Ariel, Rico, Aubrey, and Sarah?

Thanks for doing this AMA! Modern Family consistently makes me laugh to the point of tears.

My question is, has Eric Stonestreet converted you to being a lifelong Kansas City Royals fan?

Besides Modern Family, what other current TV series would you want to be part of?

Being a well-known actor, do you ever get starstruck around other actors or celebrities?

Hey, Jesse! What's the funniest thing that's ever happened on any set you've been on? Also, what movie or show never fails to make you laugh? Thanks for doing this AMA. I love Modern Family!

Hi Jesse!
I'm a big fan, from the Netherlands. It's 2 AM right now.
If you didn't become an actor, what would you be doing right now?

Do you ever see you guys doing a Modern Family live episode?

And who do you think could really rock a Tie The Knot?

Hi Jesse! I was just watching last week's episode today. So, what's the real value on your sofa?

Hi Jesse! Is filming in mockumentary style more difficult than the traditional format?

Hi Jessie. Over past times, a lot of straight actors would play gay characters. Do you think has changed more over the years ? How would you feel about the opposite - acting a straight character role ?

What is your favorite tv show?

Thanks for doing this AMA! I love your work on Modern Family, and I wish you were a full time judge on So You Think You Can Dance because you're hilarious on there! I just have a few questions.

1) What's your drink of choice?

2) Is Eric Stonestreet a good kisser?

3) Do you have any siblings in real life and are they anything like Claire?

Thanks in advance for any answers! Keep being awesome!

Hey Jesse, love modern family it always cheers me up. My question is, what advice would you give to the young teenage LGBT community who are going through difficult times either with coming out, being bullied etc?

Where was favorite location to shoot Modern Family?

Hey Jesse.

What ever happened to The Class? I thought it was an incredibly sweet sitcom and it was pretty funny. You were great in it. It was far from groundbreaking but it deserved more than one season.

I should mention its relevance to me - back when I had curfews when mine was extended from 9 to 10 I could watch a whole world of new shows and just then The Class started airing in Israel. It was in a way my gateway to the teenage years. I waited for season 2 for a long time until I realized it wasn't coming. It seems like it was a breeding ground for great actors who are only recently (past five years or so) getting the attention they deserve.

If you were a few years older and had been cast for Friends back in the day, who would you be playing?

Do you think it's cool if a girl wears a bow tie?

Do you defend pandas in court? Kidding.
What's it like working with Nathan Lane?

Hi Jesse. Thanks for doing this AMA. Your character Mitchell Pritchett in Modern Family is a low-key, high strung, mild-mannered person, who also has many sensitive qualities. At most times he is the exact opposite of Cameron which usually causes disagreements. How closely does your personality resemble Mitchell's and how closely does Eric Stonestreet's? Which co-actor from Modern Family is closest in terms of their personality with regard to the character that they play and how?

Do you have any words of wisdom that could help me get through my exam period?

Love modern family! Keep it up :)

Hi Jesse! I loved the episodes you did on Web Therapy. What was it like making those episodes?

Who is your closet Broadway actor friend?
BTW I'm flying from Japan to NY to see you on the Tempest!!!!! Already worried if I can get a ticket on that day...

I love you as a reality-TV judge--RuPaul's Drag Race, So You Think You Can Dance, et al. What's been the most fun judging gig? What would be your dream judging gig?

Hi Jesse! Thanks for doing this AMA. Did I see Justin in DC handing out bow ties and Save the Dates?

Thanks for doing the AMA!

What is your estimate on how many bow ties you own?

Hi Jesse! My boyfriend just introduced me to Modern Family a few months ago, and I have been binge watching to catch up!

I was just wondering, what is the harshest thing you've ever experienced at an audition? How did you overcome it?

What is your favorite ice cream flavor?

I love the bow ties. I wear bow ties regularly, as a school teacher, and to able to look great and support a meaningful cause is incredible, I just wanted to thank you for that.

Now for my question; Celebrity you've met who totally surprised you, in a good way!, with their demeanor and mannerisms?

is your relationship with Justin at all like Mitchell's relationship with Cam ?

What's your least favorite type of person?

Hi Jesse, thanks for the AMA!

Just wanted to know if you got to see much of Australia when you filmed down under! Do you have any memorable stories of your visit?

Hey Jesse!
What part of acting do you dislike the most?

How can a small town suburban soccer mom support marriage equality? It's not an issue I relate to but I am for equal rights for all and am not sure how to show it!

Which director would you love to work with in film at some point?

Hi Jesse! I love watching Modern Family. What was your favorite movie as a teenager?

Hi Mr. Ferguson, thank you for entertaining us with your work on Modern Family! And thanks for opening the floor here on Reddit to talk about your activism.

When the Supreme Court struck down DOMA, it was interpreted as a victory for states' rights in that the federal government would subsequently have to recognize same-sex couples who were legally married in states that had already legalized same-sex marriage. In order to gain a victory for same-sex marriage in the current case, the Court would have to invalidate existing bans in four states, which would be seen as a win for federal authority. How do you anticipate the Justices bridging that gap to rule in favor of marriage equality?

Jesse - you were fantastic in 25th annual Putnam county spelling bee.

Hi Jesse! Thank you so much for everything you do for the LGBT community! Its because of people like you that we are finally getting the rights that we deserve. My question is, what triggered your desire to be an activist? Was it a specific moment in your life or was it just a general need for change?

Are the bowties fashionable?

Do you think the recent changes across the U.S. on gay marriage bans will ultimately change the minds of the Supreme Court justices to allow it to be legal?

Hi Jesse!!! I think you are an amazing actor and I admire your drive to fight for marriage equality; you seem to be full of passion and joy. I was wondering if that was always the case or if you ever felt - like so many of us do at times - that things would not get better?

Hi Jesse, I'm asking this question on behalf of my fiancé. Who was the best person to work with on sytycd? Have you kept up with any of the dancers from the show?
