Ariel Winter portrayed Alex Dunphy in ABC’s original comedy series, ‘Modern Family’
As one of ABC’s most popular shows, this television network released episodes of Modern Family featuring Winter as the middle Dunphy child, Alex. This character was an overachiever, appearing in most episodes of the original series.
With a passion for science and the debate team, Alex Dunphy always felt like an outsider in her family. This character shared a glimpse into her social life during one episode of ABC’s comedy series. That included Winter singing as Alex Dunphy.
Ariel Winter sang as her character during the ‘Best Men’ ‘Modern Family’ episode
During the season 4 episode titled “Best Men,” fans heard Winter sing as Alex Dunphy for one of the first times. During one episode, Haley and Claire Dunphy discovered that Alex Dunphy wasn’t in “band” — she was in a band. That was the Electric Light Dorkestra where this character played the cello and sang.
Claire and Haley didn’t even know that she was a singer. Alex Dunphy surprised the family again when they traveled to a cabin for the holidays during the “White Christmas” episode. She performed a duet of “Silent Night,” and, not-so-surprisingly, it was amazing.
