Modern Family: What is Eric Stonestreet’s Net Worth, and What Are His Movies and TV Shows?
It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that the TV show Modern Family changed Eric Stonestreet’s life. The actor that plays Cameron Tucker had a few other roles to his name before the show started, but Modern Family took him to the next level.

What is Eric Stonestreet’s net worth these days, and what are his other TV shows and movies? Let’s find out.

Many actors, even all-time greats such as Robert De Niro and Clint Eastwood, have to settle for lesser roles in obscure productions early in their careers, but not Eric Stonestreet. His first credited role came on the TV show Dharma & Greg in 1999. The following year, he had single-episode stints on Malcolm in the Middle, Party of Five, and Spin City on TV, and he popped up as a hotel desk clerk in the movie Almost Famous.
Stonestreet also had steady work in commercials early in his career. He filmed ads for Volkswagen, U.S. Cellular, IBM, and the NCAA around the time he earned his first professional roles.

The Emmys weren’t kind to Modern Family in 2018 as the show failed to earn a major nomination for the first time. However, Eric Stonestreet’s salary after spending a decade starring on a hit show is nothing to scoff at.
Stonestreet and five of his Modern Family castmates — Sofia Vergara, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Julie Bowen, and Ty Burrell — earned $500,000 per episode during Season 9 in 2017-18. Those five might be making even more for Season 10 in 2018-19.
