It might seem a bit gimmicky, but having familiar stars as guests on sitcoms still works like magic, and Modern Family's early success is certainly giving it some opportunities to the pool of talent at its disposal. Tonight Shelly Long will guest star as Jay's (Ed O'Neill) ex-wife, who's just a tad eccentric, and Edward Norton has also been confirmed in an upcoming episode where he'll be the bass player in a band that performs for Phil as a surprise anniversary gift. Well, you can add yet another guest star to the list as Benjamin Bratt has been confirmed as a future guest star as well.
Bratt will play Gloria's (Sofia Vergara) much hyped ex-husband, and the father of young Manny. We've heard a bit about this character already, as Manny talks non-stop about how great his father is, despite the fact that he always seems to make excuses why he can't come see his son. Gloria also speaks often about his physicality and strength, which always seems to upset Jay.
Bratt has only been signed to appear in one episode at this time.
