Seth Green

Seth Green (born February 8, 1974) is an American actor, comedian, voice actor, writer, producer, and director, renowned for his versatile roles in film, television, and animation, including voicing Chris Griffin on the long-running Fox series Family Guy since 1999 and co-creating the Emmy-nominated stop-motion sketch comedy Robot Chicken on Adult Swim. Born in Overbrook Park, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to parents who worked as an artist and a math teacher, Green began his acting career as a child, appearing in commercials at age seven and making his film debut at age nine in the 1984 adaptation of The Hotel New Hampshire. He has since built a prolific career spanning live-action and voice work, earning multiple award nominations for his contributions to animation and comedy.

Green's breakthrough in live-action came during the 1990s with supporting roles in films like Woody Allen's Radio Days (1987), where he played a young lead at age 12, and the miniseries Stephen King's It (1990) as young Richie Tozier, one of the protagonists. His comedic timing shone in ensemble comedies such as Can't Hardly Wait (1998), Rat Race (2001), and the Austin Powers trilogy (1997–2002), where he portrayed the mischievous Scott Evil, son of Mike Myers' Dr. Evil. On television, he gained cult status as the werewolf musician Oz on Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997–2000), a role that showcased his deadpan humor and musical talents, and recurred on shows like That '70s Show (2003–2004) as the slacker Mitch Miller.

In animation, Green's voice work has defined his legacy, particularly as the dim-witted but good-hearted Chris Griffin on Family Guy, a role he has voiced across over 400 episodes. He extended his influence behind the scenes by co-creating Robot Chicken in 2005 with Matthew Senreich, serving as executive producer, writer, director, and primary voice artist for its irreverent sketches parodying pop culture; the series has won five Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Short Form Animated Program (in 2010, 2018, 2020, 2021, and 2022), along with a 2006 Emmy for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation, and multiple Annie Awards, including for Best Directing in an Animated Television Production for the Star Wars special in 2008. Green has also voiced characters in video games like Mass Effect (as Jeff "Joker" Moreau) and produced projects through his Stoopid Buddy Stoodios, blending stop-motion innovation with adult humor. In his personal life, Green married actress Clare Grant on May 1, 2010, in a private ceremony at a Northern California vineyard, five months after their engagement.
