Another tweet from Homage reads: “It’s Ed O’Neill’s 75th birthday, but don’t let this distract you from the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School. Pay homage.”

Having spent decades of his life working in sitcoms, O’Neill is particularly famous for his acclaimed role as Al Bundy on Married… with Children. One of the most popular TV dads in television history, the role earned O’Neill two Golden Globe nominations. The classic comedy series also starred Katey Sagal, Christina Applegate, and David Faustino.

Years later, O’Neill would pick up another iconic sitcom role when he was cast as Jay Pritchett on the ABC comedy series Modern Family. The role would earn O’Neill an additional three Emmy Award nominations and four Screen Actors Guild Awards for being a part of the ensemble cast. He appeared in the role for all eleven seasons between 2009 to 2020. Additionally, he is also known for his roles in various movies like Wayne’s World, Little Giants, and Wreck It Ralph.
