**Sofía Vergara** may be known for her quick wit, but on set, she prefers to stick to the script. Actor **Adam Devine**, who joined the cast of *Modern Family* in season 5, revealed that he “confused” Vergara when he improvised during a scene.
Devine told *People* that he was encouraged to “keep people on their toes” with improv, but Vergara was not amused. “She just had a blank [expression] and looked over to the producer village… and she just goes, ‘What?’” Devine said.
Following the incident, the show’s co-creator, Steve Levitan, told Devine to stick to the script.
While Vergara’s career has continued to flourish, with roles in *America’s Got Talent* and the Netflix series *Griselda*, co-star **Julie Bowen** is reportedly struggling to find similar success. A source told *Closer* that Bowen is “frustrated” seeing Vergara’s career soar, while she struggles to land a “post-Modern Family moment.”
Vergara’s role as Griselda in *Griselda* marked her first dramatic role and earned her a historic Emmy nomination, making her the first Latina to be nominated for outstanding lead actress in a limited or anthology series or movie.
Despite the differences in their post-Modern Family careers, both actresses have made their mark in the entertainment industry, with Vergara earning critical acclaim for her dramatic turn and Bowen continuing to pursue acting opportunities.
