Modern Family co-creator breaks down that 'bittersweet' death of a Dunphy
, there was more Good Grief to share. At the end of Wednesday’s episode, viewers learned that Frank Dunphy — Phil’s goofy, gregarious dad played by Fred Willard, who appeared in 14 episodes over the show’s 11 seasons — would be delivering bon mots from heaven from now on. “Legacy” began with Phil traveling to Florida to check on his dad, Frank , after hearing reports that his father had been wandering around the grocery store that he used to run.
Fred brought such an optimism, can-do spirit, quirkiness and daffiness to this role. There was no doubt that this apple fell close to the tree. What did you appreciate most about Fred’s comedic contributions to the show and that character? When Frank reassures him that he did follow in his footsteps, that seems to be the ultimate validation for Phil, and he got everything he needed to hear before his dad passed. So much was communicated in that one brief conversation.
We didn’t really discuss other ways. We thought: what if we build backwards from an interview where Phil says, “I spent a day with my dad. We didn’t do much, but in many ways it was the best day I ever had with them. I just never knew it would be the last”? I heard about this true story [about] this small town where these mysterious bird footprints appeared on the shore of a lake.
