Modern Family bosses courting Cate

Producers of Modern Family are hoping Cate Blanchett will play a cameo role while they're shooting in Australia

Producers of hit sitcom Modern Family are desperate to arrange a cameo from Australian actress Cate Blanchett while the show is filming in Australia,.

Bosses of the Golden Globe-winning comedy are shooting scenes in Sydney, where Blanchett lives and they have invited the Blue Jasmine star to make a guest appearance in the comedy.

Executive producer Steven Levitan has confirmed efforts to find time in Blanchett's schedule are ongoing after he befriended the actress on a 14-hour flight to Sydney.

"We've got some crazy people to do things for us in the past just by asking. But we thought maybe a quick cameo of Cate... we're big fans of hers," Levitan told Australia's Daily Telegraph.

Modern Family has previously featured guest appearances from Hollywood stars including James Marsden and Danny Trejo.
