Film star Elizabeth Banks ("W," "Zack and Miri Make A Porno") has signed on for a potentially recurring role on ABC's critically-praised new fall sitcom, Modern Family.

Elizabeth, who previously had a recurring role on Scrubs, will be playing Sal, a character described by executive producer Christopher Lloyd as "the *** hag" friend of gay couple Mitchell and Cameron. In real life, Elizabeth is a close friend of actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Mitchell), and expressed interest in a role after falling in love with the pilot.

"Sal is their old running buddy," says executive producer Steven Levitan. "Mitchell and Cameron decide they need a night out on the town, so they call her up." Lloyd adds, "She's thrilled to be back with her old friends until they start talking about their new (adopted) baby and she doesn't want to hear about the baby, so she starts saying things like, 'I wouldn't mind killing the baby.'" The episode will likely air in October.
