Seth Woodbury MacFarlane was born on 26 October 1973, in Kent, Connecticut USA, and is a voice actor, actor, animator, singer, and filmmaker, best known for being the creator of the television series “Family Guy”. He also wrote and starred in the films “Ted”, “Ted 2” and “A Million Ways to Die in the West”.
At a young age, Seth developed a strong interest in illustration, and began drawing various popular cartoon characters. A few years later, he decided he wanted to pursue a career in animation, and started publishing a weekly comic strip for the local newspaper, “The Kent Good Times Dispatch”. While attending high school, he experimented with animation, and his parents supported his endeavors. After matriculating, he enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) to study film, video and animation, earning his bachelor’s degree. He originally wanted to work for Disney, but changed his mind after graduating, and initially produced a series of independent films with RISD, and also performed stand-up comedy. He created a thesis film entitled “The Life of Larry”, which would become his inspiration for “Family Guy” – his film was submitted to the animation studio Hanna-Barbera, which hired Seth after graduation.
Animation and Comedy Career
MacFarlane initially worked as an animator and writer for the “Cartoon Cartoons” series. Some of the popular projects he worked on included “Johnny Bravo”, “Dexter’s Laboratory”, “I Am Weasel” and “Cow and Chicken” – he credits “Johnny Bravo” for helping develop his own style. While working for the company, he started to do freelance work too, and later left the company to pursue projects that he felt was more of his style. Fox gave him a very low budget to produce a pilot leading to a crude animated film, which led to the creation of “Family Guy” – the show would make him the youngest television executive producer of the time.
The show proved highly successful, leading him to other ventures. He created a second adult animated series entitled “American Dad!”, and developed a spin-off to “Family Guy” entitled “The Cleveland Show”, and later worked on a new sci-fi series entitled “The Orville” which he also starred in.
He ventured into production work, and is responsible for producing shows such as “The Winner”, “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey” and the live-action sitcom “Dads”, starring Seth Green. He also worked on the animated series “Bordertown”, and the live-action series “Blunt Talk”, which follows an English newscaster moving to Los Angeles.
Film Work and Other Projects
In 2012, Seth worked on his directorial film debut with the release of “Ted”, which tells the story of John Bennett played by Mark Wahlberg, and his talking teddy bear Ted. Ted tries to keep John and his girlfriend played by Mila Kunis from moving on with their lives. The film received favorable reviews and was a box office success, becoming the highest grossing original R-rated comedy of all time internationally, and which led to the sequel entitled “Ted 2” released in 2015. He also wrote and co-starred in the film “A Million Ways to Die in the West”, which is about a cowardly sheep farmer finding courage from a mysterious woman. However, the film received negative reviews.
Seth also ventured into musical projects after signing a deal with Universal Republic Records. His debut studio album was entitled “Music Is Better Than Words” which earned a Grammy Award nomination. He then released a Christmas album entitled “Holiday for Swing”, in collaboration with Sara Bareilles and Norah Jones. He released two more albums after that, including “No One Ever Tells You” which got a lot of positive reviews. His fourth album “In Full Swing” was released in 2017, and one of his songs “Have You Met Miss Jones?” received two Grammy Award nominations.
Personal Life
For his personal life, it is known that MacFarlane dated actress Emilia Clark for six months in 2012, and after their break up they still remained friends. Emilia is best known for her work in the television series “Game of Thrones” which MacFarlane is a fan of. He is apparently still single. He mentioned in an interview that he faces issues when it comes to relationships. His mother passed away from cancer and the death was acknowledged on “Larry King Live”. He’s had a string of controversies coming his way, mainly lawsuits regarding copyright infringement, though most of them have either been dropped or settled.
The Wealth of Seth MacFarlane
How rich is Seth MacFarlane? As of late-2018, sources inform us of a net worth that is at $200 million, earned through a successful career in comedy. He is considered one of the richest comedians in the world, just behind names such as Ellen DeGeneres. As he continues his career, it is expected that his wealth will also continue to increase.

The success of The Simpsons (1989) really opened doors. It showed that if you were working in animation you didn't necessarily have to be working in kids' television.
2
With any half-hour comedy, it kind of takes on its own life and finds itself.
3
When you are in a room and your job is to write jokes 10 hours a day, your mind starts going to strange places.
4
The good thing about Broadway is that you don't have to worry about an airdate. It gets done when it gets done.
5
The only problem is time.
6
[on Amour (2012)] The last time Austria and Germany got together and co-produced something it was Hitler.
7
The only way it [criticism] gets to me is that it demonstrates a deterioration of the power of restrained, critical, rational thought that was once more ubiquitous in our society. In the sixties and seventies there was such a high regard in this country for the achievements of human beings in science, in technology, in space exploration. And in some ways we've turned into this wimpy, astrology-loving, angel-loving, pseudo-scientific culture that no longer has that ability. We've gotten lazy in our willingness to use our brains.
Is one of the featured singers on the Barbra Streisand duets album, "Encores." On the album's notes, she refers to MacFarlane as "one of the most versatile and multi-talented people" she has met.
The International Astronomers Union (IAU) has renamed asteroid 1999-UL46 to "70713 SethMcFarlane", citing his role as a founding member of the Board of Advisors to the Science and Entertainment Exchange, a Los Angeles branch office of the National Academy of Sciences.
13
Favorite western film is The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962). Prefers western movies from the '40s and '50s as opposed to spaghetti westerns, which he finds to be too drab.
Met Kara Vallow at Hanna-Barbera Studios, where he worked as a writer for Johnny Bravo (1997).
23
He found out about his Oscar nomination for Ted (2012) while announcing the 85th Academy Award nominations with Emma Stone. After the press applauded for him, MacFarlane joked "That's cool, I got nominated. I get to go to the Oscars now" because he had already been commissioned to host the ceremony.
Is an accomplished crooner, a talent he ably demonstrated as a guest on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992) singing "You're the Cream in My Coffee" backed by Rickey Minor and the Tonight Show Band (5 August 2010).
With the cancellation of King of the Hill (1997) and the debut of The Cleveland Show (2009) on Fox, MacFarlane is now the co-creator and producer of three of the four animated shows that comprise Fox's "Animation Domination" on Sunday nights. (Family Guy (1999), American Dad! (2005) and The Cleveland Show (2009).) The fourth of course being The Simpsons (1989).
He considered working for the Walt Disney Company after graduating from the Rhode Island School of Design, but decided against it due to criticism from religious welfare groups. Instead he worked for Hanna-Barbara after the studio received his thesis film, The Life of Larry (1995), which was sent to them by Seth's professor at the RISD. It was accepted into the "What A Cartoon!" shorts program spearheaded by Fred Seibert. It was produced at the studio as a seven-minute short under the title "Larry and Steve". McFarlane performed several of the voice acting roles, some of which he eventually used in Family Guy (1999) for patriarch Peter Griffin and Brian, the family dog.
41
Was voted as the "Smartest Man on TV" by Entertainment Weekly, the magazine that initially criticized Family Guy (1999), but had recently been more receptive to the show.
Was supposed to board the first plane which crashed into the Twin Towers on September 11th, but he missed his flight due to his travel agent giving him the wrong departure time.
47
Lives in Los Angeles.
48
Is a devoted supporter of the Democratic Party, and is known for mercilessly mocking and lambasting conservatives and their policies through his shows. Ironically, his shows air on the FOX network, which is largely a Republican-supporting channel.
Based the voice of Peter Griffin mostly from a loud mouthed security guard that worked on the campus where he attended college.
59
The name of his production company, Fuzzy Door, comes from the name of his apartment when he attended Rhode Island School of Design ("RISD"). The door to the house was covered in fur.
