Ed O’Neill has been active in various roles within the entertainment industry for nearly five decades. Yet, it wasn’t until he was over 60 years old that he gained significant recognition. This came about due to his performances in the TV shows “Married… With Children” and “Modern Family.
During a chat with his ex-castmate Jesse Tyler Ferguson on his podcast, “Dinner’s On Me,” the seasoned actor disclosed that he came close to joining the criminal underworld while climbing the ladder of success within the entertainment industry.
It was disclosed that O’Neill contemplated entering a criminal organization when a close acquaintance presented him with an offer he simply couldn’t turn down. This potential opportunity may have come with a substantial sum of money and employment as well.
In a chat with Tyler Ferguson, the actor from Little Giant, mentioned that he had friends whose parents were involved in criminal organizations. Recounting an incident with his friend Jim, O’Neill explained, “We were driving and he asked me, ‘How are you? You’ve been cut off, you have no money.”’ He continued, “I replied, ‘No, I don’t have any money. I don’t know what I’m going to do, Jim.’
As two companions entered a tavern, Jim approached the bartender for a conversation and inquired about the identity of the man he was with. His friend then suggested to him, “I’ll keep it simple. Just stand here and do this task. You need to run errands, drop things off occasionally, and you might need help from someone, but you’re good at that. You can earn a decent income.
In my expert opinion, after initially considering the proposal, the actor expressed he’d ponder over it. Upon returning to Pittsburgh, I myself found myself reflecting on the offer as well. However, the celebrated Dutch talent reached out to me with a confiding tone, sharing that he was bound for New York, hoping to seize another opportunity and make things right once more.
In simpler terms, the person who played Marlin in Finding Dory mentioned that they contacted Jimmy, expressed gratitude, and informed him that they were heading to New York to pursue another opportunity.
In Modern Family, O’Neill played the part of Jay Pritchett opposite Sofia Vergara.
All episodes of the sitcom are available to stream on Disney+.
