'Modern Family' Casts Openly Transgender Child Actor Jackson Millarker

FUSE TV - 'Modern Family' Casts Openly Transgender Child Actor Jackson Millarker

This Wednesday's Modern Family, the second episode of Season 8, will feature a turn from 8-year-old Jackson Millarker. And while he's playing Lily's new buddy on the show, he'll be making history in real life by becoming the show's—and as many are reporting, television's, period—first openly transgender child actor.

Ryan Case, who has directed a handful of Modern Family episodes and edited nearly 80, for which she's won an Emmy, posted this on Instagram:
