Gloria's cousin in Modern Family is Armando, portrayed by actor Horatio Sanz. He appears in the episode "American Skyper."
Armando's Visit and Family Dynamics
Armando's stay at the Pritchett-Delgado household stirred up significant family dynamics, particularly between Gloria and Jay. His presence was a source of considerable annoyance for Jay, who found Armando's habits and lack of English frustrating.
During his visit:
- Language Barrier: Armando does not speak English, leading to communication challenges and often leaving Jay exasperated.
- Inactivity: He is depicted as spending his time sitting around the house, seemingly doing nothing, which further irks Jay.
- Jay's Frustration: Jay's irritation with Armando is evident as he struggles to tolerate his presence, even treating Gloria's family members as if they are "criminals."
- Gloria's Defense: Gloria, in turn, becomes fed up with Jay's dismissive attitude toward her relatives, leading to arguments as she defends her family's honor and presence.
The tension stemming from Armando's visit highlights the cultural clashes and personality differences that often provide comedic relief and character development within the show.
