'Modern Family': Sofia Vergara wants Al Pacino to play father

Sofia Vergara has more than ambitious plans when it comes to her role in ABC's "Modern Family." As a matter of fact, the Emmy-nominated actress told WENN that she would love to go after living big-screen legend Al Pacino to play the character of her father:

"In some other season, we should go to Cartagena and meet Gloria's family in Colombia. I was telling [the producers] that they need to [cast] Al Pacino [as] my father, talking like Tony Montana."

So could this actually happen? The odds are probably better than you might think. Big-name stars are often keen to appear on popular sitcoms (look at Bruce Willis and "Friends"), and Pacino certainly can stretch himself enough to play any sort of role.

Of course, the "Family" may opt against getting Pacino to shoot up any joine yelling "say hello to my little friend." Just a thought.
