That's prolly what the whiiites at ABC said to her, when casting her...

she blew up off of Fuera de serie http://youtu.be/Rfj8GWX_wso From there it was calendars and appearances on any and every talk show on Spanish TV. Not to mention she has had a contract with ABS way before T.P. came along and put her in anything. She was in Hot Properties (ABC 05) and The Knights of Prosperity (ABC 07). Madea and Meet the Browns came at the EXACT same time as Modern Family (2009)
A career going no where? She has been working since 1995. All of South American knew who she was.

people have already said why, and YOU mad....i'm good...you REALLY think the casting directors and producers of MF were checkin TP movies like THAT?? have you ever watched an ep of MF? is there anything remotely like TP's humor in there??
if anything MF folks prolly saw her in those failed shows, and she aced her audition...end of story...giving TP the credit is...a bad idea....i WILL say tho, that having the TP movies on her resume probably showed others that she'd been in a major hollywood movie that made good money....

That has nothing to do with it-
TP's took her from a nobody and put her in a series of profitable major Hollywood films. Those were easily the biggest roles of her career.
Easily.
He did that.
Its a fact.
I realize that it makes you sad, but its all good.

to do with the role they're being looked at for?
Which do you think would be more likely for a Modern Family writer/producer to see, something Tyler Perry put out or Spanish television?
I mean I couldn't care less about this issue but arguing about her profile being not being raised by her participation in a Perry project or saying that MF wouldn't ask her in off it because TP's work doesn't share their sensibilities just sounds completely illogical to me.
Help me understand what you're saying because right now it just sounds like some agreeing to disagree shit which would in fact mean that you were mad, for whatever reason.

read what i originally said again...i said TP helped, but we shouldn't act like without him she wouldn't be on MF right now...that's a stretch to me...to ignore the rest of what she'd been doing and say THAT was what got her over?? it's a reach...

20. "So was Angela Bassett" In response to Reply # 0
Before she was in "Meet the Browns" what did she really do? Nothing. Now she's in the hottest play on Broadway in "The Mountaintop" starring alongside the $7 billion man Samuel L Jackson. You don't think the producers of a play about the great Civil Rights leader didn't look to the inspirational movies of Tyler Perry for talent? Yup, they did. Before Tyler Perry = Critters 4. After Tyler Perry = 2012 Tony.

I felt that went without saying despite it not being in any way a feasible analogy.
From your reply I thought you were actually thinking he was unaware of Bassett's resume but admittedly I had some trouble reading through the HAH blocks.

Right. I was able to pick Critter 4 out of Angela Bassett's filmography completely glanced over her Academy Award nomination.
> > >This stupid ass nigga just compared Sofia Vergara to >Angela Bassett
I see you continue to miss the point of my reply. The OP is implying that TP is the reason Sofia Vergara is a big star on Modern Family. It's a leap of logic to suggest that because she appeared in two of his films and later becomes a big television star he is the reason for that. As others pointed out, she was in other projects before TP movies. ABC had a holding deal for her where they actively looked to cast her in stuff that ultimately failed. She got lucky, like most actors who have many failed shows, that Modern Family actually caught on.
49. "I understand your point" In response to Reply # 40
I'm not here to bash TP. I just don't think that her appearances in those TP movies is the reason she was cast in Modern Family and is now a breakout TV star. If there were a few more cases of actors/actresses blowing up after working with him, I would be more inclined to agree.
You may be confusing when you first saw her with when...everyone else first saw her.
To see how Sofia got cast for the show I googled her. Might have been worth doing before the original post.
********** the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.
The OP makes the case that TP films were her breakout roles. As everyone else has pointed out, she has been around forever and she has been on the radar of ABC since 2005 and ABC has put her on two previous sitcoms that failed.
Now she is on a successful sitcom which has catapulted her to a household name.
It's a straight forward point.
So wow does TP get credit for her career? He didn't discover her (she had been working for years) and he is not responsible for her breakout role (which is her role on Modern Family).
So what exactly did TP do for her? What does it mean to say that TP made people "care" about her?

He's JUST as known for his work in Spike's flicks as he is for playing Jules (and, to throw you a bone, for being in Unbreakable). Hell, if anyone says anything about Sam's career, it's "man, Samuel L. Jackson will appear in ANYTHING!"
42. "yes actually he is" In response to Reply # 37
spike has a group of regulars sam was one of them
john turturro is another danny aiello ossie davis (though ossie was ossie before spike) giancarlo esposito
theres more but off the top of my head and sam in the first 4 biggest spike films definitely counts ~~~~ When you are born, you cry, and the world rejoices. Live so that when you die, you rejoice, and the world cries. ~~~~ You cannot hate people for their own good.
I'm not saying it didn't help But Sam is a bit different in that it was more of a tipping point
It's spike films specifically and the group of actors that worked with spike repetitively
Specifically at that point

but i only peeped her in soul plane. didn't know she was in any tyler joints. haven't watched many of them, not hating, but not actively checking.
in terms of her blowing though, that's chalked up to the SHOW, not her. She's good, but Phil and Cam are the best characters on that shit hands down. She's the gratuitous half hour tits and hot blooded latina display.

Al Bundy is good too, but she's her schtick is not very funny and I think the writers have done a good job of toning down her annoyingness
