Justified creator Graham Yost has revealed that Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet wants to appear on the show.
The FX drama stars Timothy Olyphant as Raylan Givens, a deputy US Marshal who fights crime in the city of Harlan, Kentucky.
"We've been trying, since the end of the first season, to figure out a way to get Eric Stonestreet on the show," Yost told Collider. "He's a fan, and we had a part, but we just couldn't work his schedule out."
The Walking Dead actor Pruitt Taylor Vince was eventually cast in the episode 'Harlan Roulette' as Glen Fogle - the role originally intended for Stonestreet.
"[He] was so spectacular that I'm fine with the way it worked out," insisted Yost. "But, we'll always try to find a place for Stonestreet."
The showrunner named Young Adult star Patton Oswalt as another celebrity fan of Justified.
"He likes the show as well [but] with him launching Young Adult, he was just unavailable," explained Yost.
Justified airs on Tuesdays at 10pm on FX.
