One of radio’s most consistently innovative radio personalities, TRN’s Phil Hendrie, lenthis prodigious talents out this week to another medium as he taped a guest-starring role on an upcoming episode of ABC-TV’s Emmy Award-winning Modern Family. No stranger to television work, Hendrie has previously parlayed his unique “man of 1,000 voices” talent on such series as King of the Hill, Futurama and Andy Richter Controls the Universe, and let’s not forget Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s marionette masterpiece Team America: World Police. RAMP caught up with Hendrie, cast in the pivotal role of “Boots,” during a break in taping, where he described the environment on the hit series. “Modern Family is a unique opportunity for me,” he tells RAMP. “To be on set with terrific comedic actors and learn from them, people who’ve helped create a hit show, is a learning experience I’ll take full advantage of. And working with happy people too is rare! Great time!” Here’s a souvenir picture smuggled from the set — shown are (l-r) Modern Family’s Ed O’Neill, director Michael Spiller, Hendrie and Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Hendrie’s TRN-syndicated radio show can be heard on about 100 stations and is carried every Saturday night on the mighty KFI-AM/Los Angeles. Special thanks to Phil and the lovely Amir Forester for the hookup!
