As a lifestyle expert reflecting on the journey of Nolan Gould, it’s fascinating to witness the transformation of a young actor who started his career at just 10 years old and went on to become an integral part of the iconic series, Modern Family. The dynamic between the cast members, especially with his on-screen sister Sarah Hyland, is a testament to the unique camaraderie that can only be forged through shared experiences in the limelight.

Actor Nolan Gould from Modern Family shares memories of the sitcom and early thoughts on his co-stars, including Sarah Hyland, his onscreen sibling. In a chat with Jesse Tyler Ferguson on Dinner’s On Me podcast, the young performer admitted that he initially felt Sarah was too mature to portray his sister as she was around 25 or 26 when they started working together.

At age ten, Gould initially secured the lead role in the popular television series, but it took him some time to grasp the intricacies of the show as its popularity was already soaring among viewers.

During conversations with Ferguson (Mitchell Prichett in the show), Nolan shared stories from his episode with Hyland. He remembered, “Sarah once walked in and exclaimed, ‘Oh my God, I feel so old!'” He added, “At 24 or 25, she felt too old for this. I didn’t understand at the time. But looking back, yes, she was – especially since I was only 16 and a bit of a troublemaker.

During the same period, the actor was thinking about the TV show that brought him recognition in the industry. In a chat with the podcast host and the actor, Gould shared an interesting detail: as the youngest cast member during the show’s pilot, he admired his older co-stars and learned various acting techniques from each of them.

The actor explained that, although he wasn’t initially aware of the specific events taking place around him, they had an immense impact on him. He shared, “It wasn’t until I was about 14 or 15 years old that I truly realized what was happening. It was then that I became more conscious and thought, Wow! This has completely transformed me.

During his tenure on Modern Family, Gould was honored with numerous awards for his portrayal of Luke. Over its 11-season run, this sitcom amassed a total of 22 Emmy Awards from 85 nominations it received.

The principal roles in the television series were portrayed by Ed O’Neill, Sofia Vergara, Ty Burell, Julie Bowens, Eric Stonestreet, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Airing from 2009 through 2020, Modern Family aired on the ABC television network.
