Believe it or not, Ariel Winter's first acting role was in a Cool Whip commercial when she was four years old. From there, Winter appeared in episodes of various television shows, including Bones, ER, and Monk. In 2009, she landed the role that would make her famous: middle child Alex Dunphy in the comedy series, Modern Family.
Being the popular show that it is, Modern Family is still running and Winter is still playing Alex Dunphy. However, she has decided to attend college in addition to working, so she has other career options. Though she is worth an estimated $10 million, Winter will study law, as it's something she has always been interested in. She is certainly one busy lady at the moment, as she's also doing voice work on the animated Disney series, Sofia the First.
