Sarah Hyland on Chris and Struck By Lightning

Of her other upcoming projects, Hyland sounds most jazzed about Struck by Lightning, the one in which she plays a bitchy cheerleader. Chris Colfer of Glee wrote and co-stars in the comedy/ drama, which will be released next year.

“That was so much fun,” she says. “The script was genius, and Chris is one of the most humble, amazing people I’ve ever met in my life. Matt is actually in that, too. That was one that we both just happened to audition for and that we both booked.

“It was very different from Modern Family because on the show everyone is either 40 or 14, and I’m smack-dab in the middle at almost 21. So it was a lot of fun in a different way, just because everyone was my age. I loved hanging out with everyone and just talking between takes.”
