Gab Bonesso Prediction #1 for 2010:

Nolan Gould (the ten year old actor who plays Luke Dunphy on ABC’s Modern Family) has the potential to be the next Michael Cera. Whether you think that is a good or bad thing is entirely up to you.

Nolan Gould has awesome comedic chops for a ten year old kid. His ability to play the eccentric innocent is remarkable. In the classic “Coal Digger” episode, Luke (Nolan) and Manny (Rico Rodriguez) get into an argument because Luke says that Manny’s mother: Gloria used to be a “coal digger” because Luke misheard his mother calling Gloria a “gold digger”. Classic. The episode when Phil (Ty Burrell) is stricken with kidney stones and is trying to tell Luke some last words in case the surgery goes awry and Luke freaks out which makes Phil say, “Hey. When have you ever seen your old man scared?” to which Luke replies, “that time you walked through the spider web. The time we were playing with the Ouiji board and the wind blew the door shut…” and then Phil cuts him off. Also, classic.

If this kid stays on the quirky path he might even surpass Cera. I say, “Nolan Gould – Get thee to Wes Anderson immediately!”.

He could play Spencer Reid’s little brother on Criminal Minds. I mean, if Spencer Reid had a little brother on Criminal Minds. He doesn’t have one, umm, because his mom is a scizophrenic and only went off of her meds to have Spencer. Poor son of a bitch. “Excuse me for moment, won’t you? That’s better. You caught me with one foot off of the merry-go-round.”

What?

Anyway, to learn more about Nolan Gould then read the actor bio that I swiped from ABC.com below:
