Nolan Gould’s crowning achievement was getting Bryan Cranston to have a Nerf gun battle

Nolan Gould looks back on his best memories from the Modern Family Sentence.

The 25-year-old actor reunited with his co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson on his Dinner is on me Podcast to reminisce about her time starring in the hit ABC sitcom, which aired for eleven seasons from 2009 to 2020.

In the September 17 podcast episode, Gould recalled a Nerf gun fight with Bryan Cranston, who was a guest director at the time.

“Remember the rubber band gun wars we had on set? [The] “What kind of Nerf gun wars would we have on set when we finished filming?” Gould asked Ferguson.[My] The icing on the cake was getting Bryan Cranston to do it.”

He then explained that Cranston was on set to direct and “one day, I don't know how we did it, we invited him to play with Nerf guns with us.”

Gould continued, “And so we have photos of us armed to the teeth with these things, next to Walter White himself.”

The podcast host shared that the breaking Bad The actor was a guest on the podcast and told “his side of the story,” saying, “The real sign that he was accepted by the cast was that the kids wanted to hang out with him.”

Cranston directed two episodes of Modern Family: “Election Day” from season 3 in 2012 and “The Old Man and the Tree” from season 5 in 2013.

The Nerf gun war apparently took place during Cranston's first appearance, as Gould's co-star Rico Rodriguez posted a tweet about her in February 2012 with the caption, “We just dominated our Modern Family Nerf war game! My team included @Nolan_Gould and @BryanCranston.”

The tweet included a photo of the trio posing with their toy guns.

At a panel at the Paley Center for Media this year, Julie Bowen, who played Gould's mother in the series, spoke about her experiences on set with Cranston, as she is a big breaking Bad Fan. “It took about a day and a half on set before I stopped seeing Walter White and being scared,” she joked.

In another section of the podcast episode, Gould shared that his experiences as a child actor made it difficult for him to adjust to adult life.

“I was about 21 at that point and I had a grudge,” he said. “I thought to myself, I'm not going to apply to film school again and I just never went. … It closed a lot of doors to a 'traditional lifestyle.' … I find it difficult to talk to people about the things that everyone went through, like, what was high school like?”
