Smart, beautiful and simply amazing, young and talented Sarah Hyland, who plays in “Modern Family” Haley Dunphy, transformed for her latest role in “Vampire Academy” (a series about young girl adventures), wrote by Richelle Mead – the film, which spectators really liked.

Reporter: Kudos on the Screen Actors Guild Award for comedy series ensemble! And your dress for it – the Pamella Roland – was one of our top picks of the night. Did you have to try on a million different dresses?

Sarah Hyland: My stylist (Anita Patrickson) showed it to me and I loved it. But I was second-guessing it for a while because it felt so much like an after-party dress because of its length.

Reporter: So what did you do?

Sarah Hyland:  I kept looking at the dress and finally I was at my final fitting and I thought: “It needs to be longer! And that would change everything.” That was on a Thursday and the SAG Awards were on a Saturday. And the amazing people at Pamella Roland, and herself, remade the dress in 24-hours and it arrived at my stylist's place at 8 a.m. the day of the SAG Awards.

Reporter: That is amazing. So for these awards shows do you talk with everyone beforehand about what each of you is wearing?

Sarah Hyland: Yes we do that, the women on the show. I am always that annoying person drilling everyone on what they are wearing and especially what color. Because I do not want to be in the same color as Sofia Vergara! I am sorry, I do not even want to compete with that!

Reporter: [Laughing]. I do not think any woman on earth does! So let's talk Vampire Academy. Completely different than Modern Family. How was the experience?

Sarah Hyland:  I loved it. I went into it thinking, “Okay this is going to be so challenging and different and new.” And it ended up being SO much fun. And even though it's a badass-kickass-motorcycle explosions-Zoey in her underwear-kind of film, there are different types of comedy in it as well.

Reporter:And your character, Natalie, kind of the loser nerd of the bunch…

Sarah Hyland: On a regular shoot, something like Modern Family or even when I did Bonnie & Clyde, you think, “Do I have dark circles? Is my lipstick ok? How is my hair?” With this it was more like, “Eh, I don't care. Do I look nerdy? Is my hair frizzy?” All I cared about it was the continuity of where my fake pimples were.

Reporter: Ah that is great! And how about working with Mark Waters?

Sarah Hyland:  It was amazing. It is so hard to put into words because Mean Girls came out in 2004, I was 13 about to turn 14, and it was such a life defining moment. I had only ever done dramatic stuff. Modern Family is my first comedy. And I did not even realize while watching Friends and Will & Grace that I was gaining comedic timing from those shows. It was kind of a defining moment when I watched Mean Girls because I started to really understand it.

Reporter: That's so cool. Do you still watch a lot of TV?

Sarah Hyland:  I am a TV junkie: Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, True Blood, American Horror Story, Community, Stupid Realty Singing Competition Shows, The Bachelor, Breaking Bad, House of Cards. There is a lot of good TV out there.

Reporter: So much. And there is also a lot of bad TV that is really good.

Sarah Hyland:  Yes! I just saw two episodes of Rich Kids of Beverly Hills. It was like a train wreck, you cannot pull your eyes away from it because it is so fascinating but so awful at the same time.
