"Sofia Vergara has suggested that the Modern Family stars are all similar to their characters on the show. Vergara told Redbook that she shares several traits with her character Gloria. &amp;quot;I think I&amp;#039;m the most similar [to my character],&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m Latin, I have an accent, I have a kid from a previous marriage and I&amp;#039;m Colombian.&amp;quot; Vergara explained that Julie Bowen is like Claire as &amp;quot;she&amp;#039;s very into doing things perfectly&amp;quot;, adding: &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s neurotic, in a good way. I think she and I get along so well because we&amp;#039;re very different... There&amp;#039;s no competition of any kind, which is what happens sometimes with women.&amp;quot; Vergara claimed that Ty Burrell is &amp;quot;exactly Phil&amp;quot; and said: &amp;quot;Rico [Rodriguez], who plays my son, says he&amp;#039;s not at all like Manny, but we all think he is - he&amp;#039;s an old soul.&amp;quot; Vergara added that Eric Stonestreet is the least similar to his character, saying: &amp;quot;Eric plays a gay guy and he&amp;#039;s not gay, so that&amp;#039;s the most different.&amp;quot; Vergara, Bowen, Stonestreet, Burrell, Ed O&amp;#039;Neill and Jesse Tyler Ferguson have all been nominated for this year&amp;#039;s Emmy Awards. Modern Family will return for its third season on September 21 on ABC. Watch a clip of the Modern Family characters playing charades below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
