Phil Dunphy
Ask a Modern Family superfan who their favorite character on the show is, and 99% of them will say Phil Dunphy. It’s not hard to see why—the guy is as lovable as the person who portrays him on the show. Phil is a free spirit who does his best to be the “cool dad,” much to his kids’ dismay.
He works as a real estate agent and has an archnemesis, Gil Thorpe, who always seems to one-up him in everything. However, being the loving person he is, Phil claims he doesn’t have any enemies. The real enemies are poachers.
