Rico Rodriguez

Rico Rodriguez is, for me, inseparable from Manny Delgado on Modern Family, that improbably articulate kid who somehow felt like the show's old soul. Carrying a beloved role from childhood through a decade-long run, and collecting Screen Actors Guild Awards along the way, is no small feat in an industry where child stars so often stall. Born in 1998 in Bryan, Texas, he's a grown man now, and I find myself oddly invested in how that precocious boy grows into his adult career. He gave a family comedy a lot of its heart, and I'll keep rooting for him.
