Outside of her role in the Adam Sandler comedy Happy Gilmore, Actress Julie Bowen has focused mainly on television projects. But the success of her current show, "Modern Family," is breathing new life into her film career.

The Emmy nominated actress has signed on to play Kevin Spacey’s wife in the upcoming comedy ensemble, Horrible Bosses. Bowen is also slated to appear in Jumping the Broom, where she will play a stressed out wedding planner.

While she should be known as the "hot mom" on "Modern Family," Bowen’s co-star, Sofía Vergara, has relegated her to "normal mom" status. Despite the success of the show, it’s a good thing she’s branching out. The cast recently did an episode that took place in Hawaii. If the "Brady Bunch" and "Full House" are any indication, "Modern Family" is looking for a shark to jump. (Variety)
