Who doesn't need a little bit of ginger to spice up their life? For Mr. Man, Jesse Tyler Ferguson does just the trick! This hilarious actor grew up in Montana and New Mexico before attending New York City's American Musical and Dramatic Academy Conservatory. Although he made his screen debut in in Sally Hemings: An American Scandal (2000), Jesse's career really got going on the stage rather than the screen. Most famously, Jesse played the homeschooled hippy child Leaf Coneybear in the original cast of The 25h Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee alongside Dan Fogler on Broadway. Jesse first hit the small screen in any significant way as the suicidal Richie Velch in CBS' sitcom about a third grade class that reunites in their late 20's, The Class. That show was cancelled quickly, but in 2009 Jesse landed the role that he will forever best be known for: Jay's gay son/Cameron's uptight lawyer husband Mitchell Pritchett in the hit TV series Modern Family. For eleven seasons Jesse made us laugh on ABC's powerhouse sitcom, which provided us with a few looks at our redheaded dreamboat sans some clothes. One scene has his husband shave back as he stands shirtless in the bathroom. The freckles on his porcelain skin simply shine! We would love to see if there are freckles ALL over his body. Another scene has him shirtless in bed with Fred Savage, while another has him strutting his stuff in a bathing suit alongside some dudes with dad bods. We'd let Jesse be our dirty daddy! Modern Family wrapped up in 2020 after eleven years on the air, leaving Jesse to star in Cocaine Bear (2023), No, it's not the gritty spelling bee follow up about the homeschooled weirdo falling in love with the booger sugar, it's a comedy about an actual bear who eats a ton of a drug smuggler's cocaine. Hope we get to see Jesse's bare ass in it! We're always DTF when it comes to JTF!
