context_page_description: Modern Family is an American TV comedy series revolving around three families interrelated through Jay Pritchett, his son Mitchell Pritchett, and Jay's daughter Claire Dunphy. The families meet for family functions and cross-family bonding.
context_section_description: Manuel Alberto Javier "Manny" Delgado (Rico Rodriguez), Gloria's son from her first marriage to Javier, is very outgoing and not the least rather self-conscious, although he has become somewhat self-conscious in Season 5. He is very intelligent, probably second after Alex, but much in a street smart way. He is also mature and intuitive for his age and is often shown doing adult-like things, such as having conversations with Claire about her marriage and kids, and drinking coffee. He even engaged in stock market business and briefly considered following in his biological father's footsteps by becoming a professional gambler.
  Manny has inherited his mother's passion for life (although he is terrified of butterflies), though Gloria has also said, "Manny is passionate, just like his father." This causes Manny to be very romantic. Manny is not afraid to take chances, leading him to ask out older girls, and develops a crush on his step-niece Haley, to whom he gave flowers on "Pilot" and even kissed in "Three Turkeys". He idolizes his absentee father, often speaking about him in a positive light, even after being repeatedly disappointed by his father's broken promises. He plays for a football team, fences, and is a skilled chess player. He is often seen wearing or intending to wear his "burgundy dinner jacket." Manny was in the fifth grade in Season 1, the ninth grade in Season 5 and attends his first year of college in Season 9. Manny and his step-nephew Luke are good friends who each admire the strengths of the other although they spend a great deal of scheming against/fighting with each other as well.
