Seth MacFarlane is an American actor, animator, writer, producer, director, comedian, and singer.[1] MacFarlane began his career as an animator and writer for Hanna-Barbera for several television series, including Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken, Dexter's Laboratory, I Am Weasel, and created a sequel to his college thesis film Larry & Steve.

Since 1999, MacFarlane has served as creator, writer, executive producer, and lead voice actor in the adult animated sitcom Family Guy on FOX.

In 2012, MacFarlane made his feature film directorial debut for Universal Pictures with Ted, a fantasy comedy which was well received by critics and audiences. He went on to act, write, produce, and direct two more features for Universal—the western comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014) and a sequel to his first film Ted 2 (2015). In 2017, MacFarlane created his fourth show, The Orville.
