Who is Manny Delgado in Modern Family?
Eleven going on fifty-three · Jay's House
Manny Delgado (Eleven going on fifty-three) is a character in Modern Family, part of Jay's House. Manny Delgado drinks espresso, writes poetry, irons his own slacks and pursues romance with a courtliness extinct since approximately 1955 — all at age eleven, to the bafflement of his stepfather Jay and the fierce pride of his mother Gloria.

His step-nephew Luke, technically family, functionally co-conspirator, drags him periodically and mercifully back into childhood.
