Hot Competition

Ellen Barkin is going to make us laugh.

Officially, not just by tweeting.

The actress is set to play the potentially recurring role of Phil’s (Ty Burrell) real estate nemesis (Greg Kinnear is already on board as his new business partner) on the Emmy-winning TV comedy hit Modern Family.

I...kinda love this casting news

Barkin’s sooo beautifully brash. She’s gon’ rock.
