I agree, every scene he is in you are guaranteed to laugh. I hope he wins some awards and gets some recognition.

Totally! His comedic acting rocks, right down to those physical expressions and vocal inflections. He's got excellent timing. That is not easy in comedy.

especially the scenes with him and gloria.

He's brilliant alright. There should/must be a web page or fan site that features all his quotes from the show. All guaranteed a laugh when Phil's on screen. But he's a great actor too, its not just the lines he has the whole "eager dad" character down to a tee. And yes him and Gloria make for gold.

I wasn't that impressed him him in Back To You, but think he's hysterial in Modern Family, so I guess it was a weaker material holding all the actors back on his previous shows like Back To You and Out Of Practice.

i disagree! I think he was fantastic in "Back to you" as well!
An amazing comedian with impeccable timing!!!!

An amazing comedian with impeccable timing!!!!Well I only watched two episodes of Back To You, but even though Ty semed like he was pretty good at physical comedy (like the scene where he got tasered) all I kept thinking was how this emsemble didn't click like the chracters did on Friaser.

Funny how two season later, Back To You's Kelsey, Ty and Patricia all returned to back-to-back shows on ABC.
