Television and film productions often have grueling schedules, with producer Gavin Polone citing an average work day on his show "Jane by Design" as lasting 17 hours (via Business Insider). So when Teens Wanna Know asked Jeremy Maguire what was challenging about making "Modern Family," he immediately brought up the early call times.

The child actor explained, "We would start work sometimes as early as 6:30 in the morning which means I had to be up even earlier than that to eat and get ready." It's hard working at that hour if you're an adult crew member or actor, let alone a growing young performer who is still in school. Maguire mused, "Who doesn't want to stay in bed and stay all nice and warm, right?"

Still, he doesn't regret joining the long-running sitcom, and he enjoyed working with veteran actors like Ed O'Neill and Sofia Vergara over several years. "I know it was a big opportunity for me to learn from such great people and I am so happy that I was a part of such a big popular show!" Maguire said.
