Interviews
Jeremy Maguire – Modern Family
By: Jamie Steinberg
Q) What are the recent projects that you are working on?
A) I just started a YouTube channel called “Adventuring with Jeremy.” We are going to do fun stuff like playing with toys, going to cool places and making crafts.
Q) What can we look forward to in Season 10 of “Modern Family?”
A) Joe started first grade, just I did. It is all so new. This season is so much fun. There are so many surprises. Big life changing surprises!
Q) In what ways do you feel you are most like Joe and not like Joe?
A) Joe and I have a lot in common. We both like dinosaurs, chocolate chip cookies and capes. But Joe probably gets into tough situations like stuck in places. He was stuck in a tree, glued down in tar and climbed too high. This year Joe learns how to ride a bike, so do I.
Q) If you could choose a storyline for Joe to have in the future, what type of storyline would you choose and why?
A) I want Joe to have a birthday party. But I think Joe and Manny (Rico Rodriguez) have the same birthday. So, maybe a double birthday party. There would be a petting zoo and poetry reading.
Q) What has been your favorite Gloria and Joe moment?
A) My favorite always changes. One of the favorites was from the first episode I was in. That time when Joe started at the learnin’ barn. When Gloria (Sofia Vergara) says, “I will be very happy to pay for the chicken,” I always laugh.
Q) Are there any upcoming guest stars you can tease from Season 10 of “Modern Family?”
A) I can’t really say. They told me that those are secrets.
Q) Talk about working with costars and parents Sofia Vergara and Ed O’Neill.
A) Working with both of them is great! Ed gives me tips and teaches me how to be a good actor. Sofia is fun to play with and she is so lovable.
Q) What motivated you to pursue acting?
A) I like acting because it is fun. I get to pretend to do all kinds of things.
Q) Given the opportunity, which actor would you love to work with?
A) I would love to work with Chris Pratt or Chris Evans. I could totally play their son in one of their big movies. I would love to work with Sebastian Stan again. He is super nice.
Q) When you’re not working on “Modern Family,” are there any shows you love to watch?
A) I watch a lot of Disney Channel shows. Right now, my favorite show is Raven’s Home and Coop & Cami: Ask the World.
Q) You are a part of social media. Do you enjoy the instant fan feedback you receive to episodes?
A) Yes, I love reading the nice things people say. I’m amazed at the fans from all over the world. I can’t believe that people in China, Bolivia and Italy have seen the show.
Q) Is there any advice you would give to those looking to pursue a career in acting at a young age?
A) First of all, learn how to entertain yourself while sitting in traffic. My mommy and I spend a lot of hours in the car. Secondly, always forward directions from the Director. Lastly, learn your lines and have fun!
Q) What would you like to say to everyone who is a fan and supporter of you and the show?
A) Thank you for supporting me in my acting! I love having fans! Also, waving hi to me is better than staring at me.
