Modern Family's Phil Dunphy is known for being a big kid, but he's also a pretty amazing father.
Sure, he makes a few mistakes now and then (okay, he makes a lot of them), but he's nothing if not dedicated to his wife and three children. In fact, that's probably what makes his character so endearing.
This goofy, laid-back dad may not be perfect, but he's the best dad Haley, Alex, and Luke could ask for.
