The Incredible Story of How Ed O'Neill Got the Role of Al Bundy in 'Married with Children'

God bless Ed O'Neill, he brought so many men, esp married heterosexual men, so many laughs and the ability to put up and survive their marriage with children 😁🤣🤣🤣 👏👏

As an actor he delivered the very best lines, ever written, and was supported by incredible colleagues, they ALL did a great job, just them pausing, for any audience to laugh, then, the punchline, proper talent.

Don’t Tax Beer… IYKYK

I used to watch with my parents in high school and always cringed when something racy or sexual came on. Miss those days.

His uncle kinda reminds me of myself at this point in life lol 😂

No one else could’ve played Al Bundy like him no one you go back and you look at these rolls people play and you just don’t picture anyone else being able to do it after they do such a good job

Peggy's response: Same thing as yesterday...toaster leavins .....IYKYK😂

"Dying is easy, comedy is hard." So very true........versatility is the mark of a great actor. Thanks, Ed! ❤

Watching married with children with my dad was our bonding time RIP dad

haha awesome dude .. from which interview is that ?

Al Bundy was hilarious !! Soundtrack of our lives.

Please reunion episode!Please reunion episode!Please reunion episode!Please reunion episode!Please reunion episode!

Al Bundy is one of those iconic roles that truly, NOBODY else but Ed O'Neill could pull it off. When Ed O'Neill as Al Bundy insulted someone on the show, he absolutely slayed and left no survivors. Truly an icon. Thank you Ed O'Neill for bringing Al Bundy to life like nobody else could. Easily the most hilarious character on the show.

We grew up with you in Greece in the 90s !!!

the only highlight of his life lol

classic al bundy response to a problem. a glint of what could be if they did a reunion episode. it would great.

And he was also great in a drama role in a Miami Vice episode. This is a real actor, right there.

Peg: "Al did you miss me?!"
Al: "With every bullet so far"

Hes the best and the greatest of comedy

God created this role for Ed O’Neill
Nobody could play this part better or at all

It was good because he played it straight.

So he owes everything to his uncle 👍💪

Was he Lenny

One best characters to ever be created

The funniest and greatest show on television history period

"What's for dinner. Hopefully not Buck."

The word is "resigned" for god's sake. It's not even my languages guys

This show was my complete childhood

My bowling team does a "Woa BUNDY!" before we start bowling every week. One year we all wore Polk High 33 jerseys. Al Bundy is a role model for all men.

A far leftist

Legend

“I don’t want to understand women, women understand women and they all hate each other”…..All Bundy

Ed O Neill deserves lots lots lots more fanfare today. AL Bundy would say so.

Lol, those of us who grew up in the middle class...( not) all of us knew UNCLE AL.

Thank God for Hirschfeld. awesome casting. Al scored 4 touchdowns in a single game. Love love love Al Bundy

I had the perfect balance. I watched Married With Children and The Cosby show.

He was resigned to the fact that the toilet water was going to get in his rice

That's a fabulous movie

My favorite TV dad ever!!! Classic

plz amazon netflix even disney bring him back

Polk High Legend, NO MA‘AM President, and boss of the bowling alley

😂 The Legend 🖤 When life feels like 💩 Watch MWC and focus on Al's expressions... It'll make you feel better about life guaranteed!

There could never have been another Al Bundy played by anyone else but Ed... he IS Al Bundy!
