The creators of Modern Family wrote the character of Phil with Ty Burrell in mind, but the studio instead offered the role to Matt Leblanc, who turned it down (hence the role finally being offered to Ty).

The creators wanted Ed O’Niel for Jay but the studio preferred Craig T Nelson. A pay dispute meant that Craig turned down the role.
