Jeremy Maguire has been a star on “Modern Family” and we expect grand things from him in the future as the show winds down. We got a chance to talk with him about this time on the show, what he has coming up and some of what he likes to do outside of acting. We also get a chance to ask Jeremy what he has coming up in the future so take a read below.

Jeremy Maguire currently stars as ‘Joe Pritchett’ on the Award-winning ABC comedy “Modern Family”. Season 10 is set to premiere September 26th. Jeremy can also be seen in his role as ‘Trevor’ in the drama filled film “I’m Not Here”, opposite J.K. Simmons and Sebastian Stan.

BSCKids: How did you get the part on the show?

Jeremy Maguire: I went for the audition when I was 3 years old. I think there was 4 auditions including a screen test with Ed. It happened really fast. My last audition was on a Thursday and I started work on Monday. They even let me wear my cape during the audition. It’s funny because there even an episode where I get to wear a cape.

BSCKids: Who do you think you learned the most from on the show?

Jeremy Maguire: I get learn the most from Ed. He helps me practice my lines and he is so good. Rico and Sofia are great too. Rico was a kid when the show started so he has great tips. Sofia helps me to have fun between takes.

BSCKids: Do you have a favorite scene you have been in on the show?

Jeremy Maguire: Last season we filmed in Lake Tahoe. I think that was my favorite episode to shoot so far. Being in a new place was so much fun! I hope we get to do another Modern Family vacation soon.

BSCKids: Can you tell us a bit about your favorite outfit you have worn?

Jeremy Maguire: Green is my favorite color. There was a green zip-up hoodie that I wore a lot. It is really soft and comfy. I wore it in some episodes but I always wore it between takes. At the end of the season, they let me keep.

BSCKids: Do you get recognized by fans often? What has been your favorite experience with a fan?

Jeremy Maguire: I do get recognized by grown-ups pretty often. However, I think my biggest fans are my cousins. We are very close and hang out all of the time.
