In this week’s episode of Plot Twist, Tom is joined by Emmy-nominated actor and Tony Award winner Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

A trailblazer in every sense, Jesse became a household name as Mitchell Pritchett on Modern Family, portraying one of television’s first mainstream same-sex couples with humour, heart, and cultural impact that still resonates today.

Since then, he’s continued to evolve, winning a Tony for his role in the critically acclaimed Broadway revival of Take Me Out, and using his platform to champion LGBTQ+ visibility, authenticity, and equality.

As Plot Twist celebrates Pride Month, Jesse reflects on legacy, identity, the surreal experience of being labelled a “gay icon,” and how his journey has unfolded both on-screen and off.

A thoughtful, funny, and quietly powerful conversation with someone who’s helped shift the narrative… and isn’t done yet.

In a career that has spanned TV-soap fame on Eastenders, films roles including The Football Factory, theatre stints under the mentorship of Nobel Prize winning dramatists Harold Pinter, and even Celebrity Gogglebox (alongside his Love Island star daughter Dani) - it seemed that Danny Dyer had pretty much done it all. That was until actor and writer Ryan Sampson (Plebs/Brassic), suggested he play the lead role in a bombastic new Sky Original comedy, Mr Bigtsuff. Telling the story of two estranged brothers, Sampson and Dyer explore themes of "broken families, fragile masculinity and… carpet sales” in a hilarious and at times poignant romp. Joining Tom, they discuss some of the biggest plot twists in their careers including a wild first meeting in Bulgaria filming Plebs, with limoncello shots in tow.  

All six episodes of Mr Bigstuff are available to watch on NOW and Sky.
