Ty Burrell Net Worth $16 Million
Ty is of mixed heritage; he is of part German and British ancestry. His mother, Sheri Rose was a teacher, and his father Gary Gerald Burrell, was a family therapist. When it comes to his education, Ty matriculated from Hidden Valley High School, and then enrolled at Southern Oregon University, from which he graduated with a bachelor`s degree in theatre arts. However, Ty wanted to continue with his education, and enrolled at Penn State University, finishing his MFA in 1999. While he was at Penn State, Ty also worked at Theatre 100 Company. Ty then began to pursue his acting career, and found engagements on the stage, appearing in such shows as “Macbeth”, “The Blue Demon”, and “Burn This”, which helped him build his career, and also steadily improved his net worth. Following these initial successes, Ty managed to expand his talents to the screen, and debuted with a brief role in the popular TV series “Law & Order” (2000). The following year, he made his film debut as Flemming in Ivan Ritman`s film “Evolution”, alongside David Duchovny, Orlando Jones and Julianne Moore in lead roles. During the early 2000s, Ty had regular work, appearing in films and TV series such as “Black Hawk Down” (2001), directed by Ridley Scott, and starring Josh Hartnett and Ewan McGregor, “Dawn Of The Dead” (2004), and “Out of Practice” (2005-2006), in which he portrayed Dr. Oliver Barnes. All of these appearances increased his net worth to a large degree, and he also had small roles in films “Down In The Valley” (2005), with Ewan Rachel Wood and Edward Norton, and “In Good Company” (2004), with Scarlett Johansson and Dennis Quaid in lead roles, which also added a bit to his net worth. In the second half of the 2000s, Ty had a number of successful appearances, including as Allan Arbus in “Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus” (2006), Connor in “National Treasure: Book of Secrets” (2007), Leonard in “The Incredible Hulk” (2008), and of course his most recognizable role so far, as Phil Dunphy in the TV series “Modern Family” (2009-2016), all of which have only increased his net worth. To speak further of his career as an actor, Ty’s film and TV credits include titles such as “Morning Glory” (2010), “Fair Game” (2010), “Butter” (2011), “Goats” (2012), “The Skeleton Twins” (2014), and most recently he tried himself as a voice actor, lending his voice to characters from the films “Finding Dory” (2016), and “Storks” (2016), increasing further his wealth. Although his career has been active for around two decades, Ty has already garnered numerous prestigious awards, and recognitions, including two Primetime Emmy Awards, both in the category Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his work on “Modern Family”, plus five Primetime Emmy Award nominations, and winning an SAG Award in the category Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series all for the same series, among numerous other awards. When it comes to speak about his personal life, Ty has been married to Holly since 2000, with whom he adopted two children. The couple`s current residence is in Southern California.

A lot of modern comedies are difficult to watch too, because they're so ironic and so detached and so quote-unquote clever. They kind of keep you at arm's length. They can be really funny, but they're not really nourishing.

I didn't know that there was such a thing as butter carving. But then, I poked around a little bit. A quick Google search will show you 55,000 images of butter carvings, and they're extraordinary.

I just like comedy in general. My film work, which has been at times more dramatic, has been satisfying. But I never feel quite as good and as light and blissful as when I'm doing comedy.

I'm not saying this just to be self-deprecating, but I have always taken delight in playing people who are oblivious, because I do think I have giant, giant blind spots. It's a very comfortable place to be.

I've played a lot of really smarmy people in film, and it can be real fun, don't get me wrong. But it can be characters I'm not as excited to explore.

My wife handles all of our technology. So if something goes wrong with the computer, I throw up my arms and step aside while the IT gal figures it out.
