15 More Actors You Totally Forgot Were In Comic Book Movies
13. Ty Burrell
The Movie: The Incredible Hulk (2008)
Who He Played: Doc Samson, Betty's then-current love interest in the film who alerted General Ross to Bruce's reemergence in her life out of fear for her safety, though he later realized his error after seeing the Hulk protect her.
Why You Forgot: The year after the film came out, Burrell began starring as Phil Dunphy on Modern Family, a role that granted him a new level of success overnight and ensured that many will continue to see Burrell as his goofball character long after the show eventually ends. Between the fact that The Incredible Hulk became the black sheep of the MCU when Edward Norton was replaced by Mark Ruffalo - meaning Samson hasn't resurfaced - and Burrell's current status, it's always a fun surprise to revisit the film and find him playing quite the opposite of Phil.
