Meet the actor playing the other half of "An American Family"'s gay couple


Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet

We wrote a while back that actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson (The Class, Do Not Disturb) had been cast as half of a gay couple in the pilot for ABC's single-camera comedy An American Family.

Now we've learned who will be playing the hubby who will be holding his hand as the two new dads adjust to adopting a new baby.

Eric Stonestreet has been cast as Ferguson's hubby, and from what I can tell he will be playing Cameron to Ferguson's Mitchell. The bulk of their story (they're one of three families being followed by a documentary crew) is about how their life changes when they adopt a Vietnamese baby named Lily, but Cameron's apparent weight concerns and Mitchell's issues with his family are also continuing themes.

Anyone recognize Stonestreet from CSI?

Dig Ferguson with the beard

Man, his testosterone level just shot off the charts.  :)  Stonestreet's a cutie, too.
