Cameron
In Modern Family Eric Stonestreet depicts the character Cameron by showing a quirky behavior, having a funny sense of humor, and being flamboyantly outgoing. His character helps make up the crazy family that is Modern Family. He is the gay husband of Mitchell and they have a young adopted daughter named Lily. Mitchell is an uptight, and very cynical person. They are complete opposites but are madly in love.

Cameron is a very important character to the show because he brings a very quirky behavior. He is so peculiar that it is funny. He is a big guy that went to clown college and is so proud of himself for doing that and being a clown. In the episode Bring Out the Clowns his clown friends and him get together for a fellow clowns funeral. They decide to go out for drinks and get together to catch up. he then gets together with an old stage act. Mitchell becomes jealous because he would never be home. He then tells Mitchell that "this is the reason theres so many single clowns" in a very serious manner. Mitchell then rolls his eyes and Cameron says " he doesn't roll his eyes everytime I talk about the art of clowning". He loves his art of clowning no matter who judges him or makes fun of him.

He also has such a funny sense of humor. He has a dead pan humor to him. He is completely serious while he says outrageously funny things which makes things that he says that much funnier. In one episode he is telling a story about how he chunked a pumpkin across an entire football field into a car. Mitchell doubts him on this and thinks that the story is made up so he then rebuttals him with "all this from someone who never even chunked a pumpkin." Also during a fight between the two Cam turns around and with a serious face tells Mitchell " you may be flying high but at some point you'll be free falling Tom Petty. Petty. Because your Tom Petty. Get it?".

Cameron is also flamboyantly outgoing in a sense that he is very feminine. He trys to overcompensate with everything he does for the fact that he is so feminine. When he feels the need he will also quote and or talk about actors that he likes. One time he says "that is very Colin Firth". He also will repeat a saying but add a weird twist to it like "Its all seltzer under the bridge". Also he will think of random things to try and lighten the mood if he senses that it is tense. An example of this is when Jay and him are trying to connect but are having a hard time. So to lighten the mood he says "Cam and Jay it sounds like a bird". All he trys to do is make situations lightened by his flamboyant personality.

Cameron is the type of person to hate conflict and who only wants to please people. He will do anything in his power to make people happy and usually does this with his humor. Even though him and Mitchell are complete opposites their relationship helps make Modern Family what it is. Without Cameron in the show there would be an unfixable void.
