Raini Rodriguez Instagram – Whew. Ok, here we go… It’s one thing to watch your shy, little brother discover his passion in life, but it’s another to watch him get to bring it to life. Rico, is truly an amazing person inside and out. The dedication and work ethic he puts into things is like no other. For the last 11 years, I have watched him get up at 4:30am to go to set, do school for 3 hours, work another 8, then graduate high school in real life and on screen, film scenes along some tv legends, and still hold his own, wear lots of silk shirts and fedoras, say mature jokes at 10 that sometimes went over his head but he nailed it every time, learn how to drive a golf cart, then eventually a real car, try sushi, win 5 Emmy awards back to back to back, get to travel the world….and after all that, he would come home, tell me how thankful he was for this job, play videos games, go to sleep and wake up the next day to do it all over again. I am so incredibly proud of you @starringrico. Modern Family has been a true blessing, not just for you, but for our family. Getting to visit you on set and make life long friends with the cast crew, is something I will always hold close to my heart. We have been reminiscing a lot today about your time on the show and we have so many beautiful memories from this experience that we will carry with us forever. I know this is only the beginning for you and I can’t wait to see where life takes you next. Thank you for letting me be apart of your journey. I love you so much bro, congratulations on an amazing run! Modern Family will always be my favorite show. 💜 P.S. thanks for taking me to Paris and also introducing me to Leonardo DiCaprio at the SAG awards. I dunno how to ever repay you back for that.
