Ty Burrell is an Emmy Award-winning American actor recognized for his work in television comedy, film, and voice acting. Burrell earned a Bachelor of Arts from Southern Oregon University and a Master of Fine Arts in acting from Pennsylvania State University, establishing a strong academic foundation for his career in the entertainment industry. He began his professional journey in New York, performing in various stage productions both on and off Broadway, including a Broadway debut in a revival of Shakespeare's "Macbeth," before transitioning to film and television.

Burrell's early screen credits include roles in films such as "Evolution," "Black Hawk Down," "Dawn of the Dead," and "The Incredible Hulk." He also appeared in television comedies, portraying Dr. Oliver Barnes in the CBS sitcom "Out of Practice" and reporter Gary Crezyzewski in Fox's "Back to You." His performance in "Back to You" led to his casting as Phil Dunphy in the ABC sitcom "Modern Family," a role created specifically for him by Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd.

Burrell is best known for his portrayal of Phil Dunphy on "Modern Family," for which he received two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series and five Screen Actors Guild Awards. The series earned multiple accolades, including the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series and the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. Burrell's individual achievements include the Monte Carlo International Television Festival Award for Best Comedic Actor, the Critics' Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, and Comedy Central's Comedy Award for Performance by an Actor in TV.

In addition to his live-action work, Burrell has contributed to animated films such as "Mr. Peabody & Sherman," "Finding Dory," and "Storks." He provided the voice of Jack Harris in the Fox animated series "Duncanville," created by Amy Poehler. Burrell also starred in "Tightrope!," a slapstick comedy on Roku, and narrated the Audible podcast "The Good Life," a scripted series based on his childhood.
