Seth MacFarlane
Seth Woodbury MacFarlane (geb. 26. Oktober 1973) ist ein amerikanischer Animator, Schriftsteller, Komiker, Produzent, Schauspieler, Sänger, Synchronsprecher und Regisseur, der vor allem für die Erstellung der animierten Sitcoms Family Guy, American Dad! und The Cleveland Show bekannt ist, für die er auch viele der verschiedenen Charaktere der Shows spricht.
MacFarlane, geboren in Kent, Connecticut, ist Absolvent der Rhode Island School of Design, wo er Animation studierte und einen Bachelor of Fine Arts Abschluss erwarb. Er war Animator und Autor für Hanna-Barbera für mehrere Fernsehsendungen, darunter Johnny Bravo, Cow and Chicken und Dexter's Laboratory, bevor er 1999 seine eigene Serie für 20th Century Fox mit dem Titel Family Guy schuf. MacFarlane würde dann American Dad! 2005, The Winner 2007 und The Cleveland Show 2009 für 20th Century Fox mitgestalten.
Als Schauspieler gastierte er in Shows wie Gilmore Girls, The War at Home und FlashForward. MacFarlanes Interesse an Science Fiction und Fantasy hat zu Cameo- und Gastauftritten auf Star Trek: Enterprise geführt und den Charakter von Johann Kraus in Guillermo del Toros Hellboy II: The Golden Army zum Ausdruck gebracht. Im Jahr 2008 kreierte er seine eigene YouTube-Serie mit dem Titel Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy. Als Performer hat MacFarlane an mehreren Orten gesungen, darunter Carnegie und Royal Albert Hall.
MacFarlane hat für seine Arbeit an Family Guy mehrere Auszeichnungen erhalten, darunter zwei Primetime Emmy Awards und einen Annie Award. Im Jahr 2009 gewann er den Webby Award for Film & Video Person of the Year. Er wurde von Fernsehzuschauergruppen wie dem Elternfernsehrat kritisiert, der Family Guy regelmäßig wegen seiner Unanständigkeit verurteilt. Er spricht gelegentlich an Universitäten und Colleges in den gesamten Vereinigten Staaten und ist ein Befürworter der Rechte von Homosexuellen.
Am 10. Februar 2011 gab MacFarlane bekannt, dass er in der Episode der nächtlichen Talkshow-Serie Conan der TBS seinen ersten abendfüllenden Film Ted dreht. Der Film spielt Mark Wahlberg als Erwachsener, der sich als Kind wünschte, dass sein Teddybär zum Leben erwachen würde. MacFarlane wird die Sprach- und Bewegungserfassung für den Bären sein.
