2 Fall 2011 Applegater Applegater now online! Ty Burrell (right) and Julie Bowen (left) recently picked up Emmys for their roles in the hit TV comedy, Modern Family. Hidden Valley lineman makes the play of a lifetime Southern Oregon’s own emmy-winning Ty Burrell was born in Grants Pass and grew up in the mighty burg of Applegate, where his family ran the Applegate Store. In 1985, he graduated from Hidden Valley High School (HVHS) in Murphy, where he was a lineman for the Mustangs football team, and received “Player of the Week” honors multiple times. According to former HVHS varsity cheerleader Mikell (Holiday) Nielsen, Ty was always funny...and very cute. In fact, she had a crush on him and remembers his first words to her: “You did a good job today.” In 1993 Ty earned a BA in theatre arts from Southern Oregon University (SOU) in Ashland, and was the commencement speaker at SOU in 2008. He continued his education at Pennsylvania State University, earning an MFA. He has stated that for a period of time in graduate school, he lived out of his van to save money.
