Ah, Kevin O'Shea, the hometown hero of Urbania, Ohio, thanks to winning the Heisman Trophy in his heyday. To play the tough head coach of the Cowboys, the producers tapped the Married With Children star, who had become one of the most successful actors on TV thanks to his iconic turn as Al Bundy. (Fun fact: He almost played professional football after he was signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1969, but was ultimately released.)
After Married With Children ended its 10-year run in 1997, O'Neill once again found success on ABC's Modern Family, playing the patriarch of the Pritchett clan, Jay, opposite Sofia Vergara, Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell. O'Neill has earned three Emmy nominations for his work on Modern Family, which ended its 10-year run in 2020.
Married to Catherine Rusoff since 1986, the couple have two children together.
