Today was supposed to be the first table read for Modern Family’s new season but it was abruptly cancelled because Ty Burell, Julie Bowen, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Eric Stonestreet and Sofia Vergara have rejected their latest contract offers. The 5 actors want higher salaries and have rejected the rumored $150,000 an episode offer because they want more according to Deadline Hollywood. Yes I understand they are all nominated for Emmys, but do they really need that much money? Yes their show brings me a lot of happiness and I would miss it if it were gone, but I just thinking putting the show at jeopardy over their greed isn’t worth it. People can’t feed their kids or their rent in these tough economic times and they want millions of dollars each. I say if they get that raise, I want to see them donate some of their earnings. Because let’s be real before Modern Family how many of those actors could you name even though they were working actors? Only one, thought so.
