In this unforgettable episode of Like A Farmer, we sit down with Emmy-winning actor and Kansas native Eric Stonestreet for a wide-ranging, wildly entertaining conversation. Eric opens up about how a breakup sparked a life-changing dare that launched his acting career – from small-town Kansas to Second City in Chicago and ultimately to Modern Family fame in Hollywood. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from the set, including a hilarious moment with Sofia Vergara, and breaks down what really made the show such a massive success. But it doesn’t stop there. Eric dives deep into his Kansas City Chiefs fandom, from dinners with Andy Reid, to the hype of Taylor Swift, to placing an epic Bills vs. Chiefs bet with Pat. He also reflects on the duality of playing lovable Cam vs. a cold-blooded killer on Dexter and explains why he regularly hosts FBI, SWAT, and Navy SEALS at his ranch, Jolly Ridge. This one’s got laughs, heart, football, and Hollywood.
