Seth McFarlane And Family Guy

Family guy is now one of the biggest animated shows in history. the show has currently had 7 seasons so far after being cancelled previously TWICE! he is the creator and the producer of the show and voices a host of quality characters, including, Stewie, Peter, Quagmire, Brian and Tom and Jake Tucker



MacFarlane was born on October 26, 1973 in Kent, Connecticut. His mother, Ann Perry (née Sager), and father, Ronald Milfton MacFarlane, reside in Newburyport, Massachusetts, and are of English, Scottish and Welsh descent, partly by way of Canada.[5] During his childhood, MacFarlane developed an interest in illustration and began drawing cartoon characters Fred Flintstone and Woody Woodpecker.When he was eight years old, he drew "Walter Crouton", a comic strip for the The Kent Good Times Dispatch.
MacFarlane received his high school diploma in 1991 from the Kent School in Connecticut. His headmaster, the Rev. Richardson W. Schell, publicly rebuked MacFarlane for his "low" style of humor and later asked Fox not to air Family Guy MacFarlane's parents, who both taught at the school, resigned in protest.
MacFarlane went on to study animation at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. As a student, he wanted to work for The Walt Disney Company, but changed his mind upon graduating from RISD. As he recalled: "Like a lot of animators, I felt Disney is God. Now, it's become Disney is Satan." During college, he created his thesis film entitled The Life of Larry. His professor at RISD submitted MacFarlane's cartoon to Hanna-Barbera, where he was later hired.

Note: Family guy is awesome :D
