Ty Burrell – Started At Age 42
Yes, Ty Burrell was once a 19-year-old forest firefighter. He actually didn’t pursue acting until he got to college. And at the time, he usually played the characters who would either be murdered or dismissed every time he was on screen.
That all changed when Ty bagged the role of Phil Dunphy in “Modern Family” at 42, overseeing his rise to TV prominence. He even garnered eight consecutive Primetime Emmy Award nominations for the part!
