Daughter of KA Comedienne Snags ‘Modern Family’ Role

The wildly popular ‘Modern Family’ sitcom has cast the 4-year old daughter of Korean American comedienne Amy Anderson, according to news reports.

Aubrey Anderson-Emmons will play Lily, the adopted Vietnamese daughter of Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet), replacing twin baby actresses Jaden and Ella Hiller.

Showrunner Steve Levitan lauded the young actress, calling her a “natural.”

“She really enjoys the process,” Levitan told Entertainment Weekly. “And she looks just like Jaden and Ella! When we had her do a scene, she sounded natural — not like a cutesy kid actor.”
