I met Eric Stonestreet through my brother Jeff. If memory serves me correctly Jeff shot some headshots for Eric back when “Stoney” was still a student at Kansas State University. Eric who is also from Kansas City became one of my brother’s best friends and when you become friends with one of the Nicholson’s you have to befriend all of us.

Eric is one of the funniest people I know (and not to brag but I know lots of funny people). He has made a nice career for himself as a commercial and character actor in LA. When I was first cutting my teeth as a photographer I would spend a lot of time in LA shooting with Jeff and Eric would often hang out. He would let me shoot him when we had some extra time, he introduced me to Jeff Buckley, and he was also the first person I met that had Tivo. As we like to say here in the midwest “he is good people.”

Well Mr. Stonestreet is about to be introduced to the masses. He landed one of the leading roles on ABC’s new comedy “Modern Family.”

Do yourself a favor and watch the show because if Stoney is involved it is going to be funny. Congrats Eric I can’t wait to watch the first show on Wednesday night.
