Jesse Tyler Ferguson (born October 22, 1975) is an American actor. He is best known for portraying Mitchell Pritchett on the sitcom Modern Family (2009–present), which earned him five consecutive Primetime Emmy Award nominations.

Early years

Jesse Tyler Ferguson was born in Missoula, Montana, to Anne Ferguson (née Doyle) and Robert "Bob" Ferguson.[1] His parents divorced when he was 18 years old. Ferguson has a brother, Ben Ferguson, and sister, Kelly Ferguson.

Ferguson was named after his paternal grandmother, Jessie Uppercue Ferguson,[2] to whom he was very close growing up.[3] His paternal great-grandfather was also named Jesse.[4]

His family moved when he was young to Albuquerque, New Mexico, where he was raised.[4] At age eight he decided to become an actor, and joined the Albuquerque Children's Theater, where he was a member for six years.[5]

At Albuquerque's St. Pius X High School, Ferguson played Albert Peterson in Bye Bye Birdie and General Bullmoose in Li'l Abner. He participated on the speech and debate team and graduated in 1994.[6] He worked as a dancer/singer at Cliff's Amusement Park.[5]

After high school Ferguson attended The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in New York City.

Career

Theatre

In New York City, Ferguson worked mainly in Off-Broadway and Broadway theatre, including the Tony Award-winning The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, where he originated the role of Leaf Coneybear.[7] Ferguson starred in the Public Theater's 2007 Shakespeare in the Park production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and 2015 production of The Tempest. In the summer of 2015, he played Sir Robin in the Hollywood Bowl production of Monty Python's Spamalot.

In March 2012, Ferguson was featured as Dr. Ilan Meyer in a performance of Dustin Lance Black's play 8, a staged reenactment of Perry v. Brown, the federal trial that overturned California's Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriage.[8] The production was held at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre and broadcast on YouTube to raise money for the American Foundation for Equal Rights, a non-profit organization funding the plaintiffs' legal team and sponsoring the play.[9][10]

Television and film

On television, Ferguson was among the large ensemble cast on the short-lived CBS sitcom The Class, playing Richie Velch. Ferguson co-starred in the 2008 thriller Untraceable.

Since 2009, he has played the role of Mitchell Pritchett, the openly gay lawyer on the ABC sitcom Modern Family. For his performance, Ferguson has received five consecutive Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. He has also appeared as a judge on So You Think You Can Dance, and opposed actress Chrissy Metz in a 2017 episode of TBS's Drop the Mic.

Other works

In 2018, Ferguson was one of the actors who voiced the audiobook A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo.[11]

Philanthropy

Tie The Knot

In September 2012, Ferguson and his lawyer husband, Justin Mikita, started the non-profit charity 'Tie The Knot',[12] an effort to raise funds in support of same-sex marriage, using bow ties sold to retail.[13] They officially launched it as their engagement announcement in an online video where they explain only seven states at the time had marriage equality.[13][14][15] In an interview Ferguson stated that he wanted to do something that was smaller and manageable in case it did not work out as a business model.[16]

The foundation sells limited-edition bow ties with "proceeds going to organizations nationwide that are working toward marriage equality".[17] Their collections are designed by the couple plus guest designers, and is sold by The Tie Bar, a Naperville, Illinois-based online men's neckwear company.[17]

In January 2013, the couple were recruited by Lieutenant Governor of Illinois Sheila Simon to lobby legislators to pass SB10 which would allow same-sex marriage.[17] The bill passed both legislative houses,[18][19] and Governor Pat Quinn signed the bill into law,[20] going into effect on June 1, 2014.[21]

In October 2013, the American Civil Liberties Union named Ferguson the celebrity ambassador for the LGBT community.[22] He participated heavily in the ACLU's "Out for Freedom" campaign [23][24] They noted that Ferguson travelled to New Mexico, his home state, to take part in same sex marriage efforts. New Mexico does not explicitly permit or prohibit same-sex marriage; it is the only state lacking a statute or constitutional provision explicitly addressing same-sex marriage.[25] The couple’s non-profit made a grant of US$10,000 to the ACLU of New Mexico for same sex efforts.[23]

In November 2013, a pop-up retail store for 'Tie The Knot' was located at the Los Angeles Beverly Center featuring the fourth collection from the couple,[26] including professional athlete designs with Scott Fujita and Chris Kluwe, and Brittney Griner.[27]

Personal life

Ferguson uses his full name as there was already an actor called Jesse Ferguson in the actor's union when he joined.[28]

Ferguson is openly gay and, in September 2012, he announced his engagement to lawyer Justin Mikita, his boyfriend of nearly two years.[29] They married in Manhattan on July 20, 2013,[30] with the playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner officiating at their wedding.[28]

On the process of coming out, Ferguson said he had to tell his father three times (when he was 17, 19 and 21): "It's a coming out process for them as well," and takes time.[31] He has one sister and one brother, both younger.[32]

Ferguson owns a dog named Hamamma.[28] Ferguson is a known supporter of Democratic political candidates and is shown in the 2016 Democratic National Convention promotional trailer "Our Fight Song."[33]
