CHRIS GRIFFIN

The eldest son of the Griffin's, he is quite clearly taking after his father, already proving that he is rather dim when it comes to common sense. He enjoys watching television, playing computer games and painting. He has been a boy scout, fallen in love with a girl in the south, and been called fat more times than can be counted. Chris has no friends, except for a tree, but Peter, killed it when Chris insisted on bringing it along on their trip. The lack of friends is made up with his close relationship to his family. Chris Griffin loves his family and especially his sister, though he falls prey to her tormenting.

Chris is always in a good mood. He is a kind hearted teenager who is incapable of harming a fly. He lacks intelligence and common sense but is surprisingly shown to have enormous hidden gifts, particularly as an artist (painter), and occasionally makes a single very insightful comment from out of nowhere. Chris idolizes Peter and works hard not to disappoint him. It's a good thing for Chris that his father's expectations are so low. Chris can be knowledgeable in some situations, and although physically he's matured early, he still has a long way to go intellectually.

He had an originally punk profile. He wore earrings, and his painful awkwardness was not as emphasized as it was later in the series. Chris is overweight, much like his father, Peter Griffin . Peter took him to a cosmetic surgery doctor, but Chris eventually rejected the idea of liposuction. Chris is extremely "well-endowed", which makes Peter envious.

Chris has to face the danger of an evil monkey who lives in his closet. That monkey constantly threatens to kill him. When Chris decides to explain to his family about the monkey, they dismiss him. This monkey was not always evil; it only became evil after he came home from work one day and he found his wife cheating on him.

SETH GREEN 

At 10 he graduated to film and TV, and quickly racked up an impressive array of credits, including a plum part as Woody Allen's adolescent alter ego in the auteur's 1987 film Radio Days. Although Green was capable of tackling dramatic roles (It and a slew of other TV-movies), he proved to be particularly adept at comedy and made frequent guest spots on sitcoms. But 1997 was his breakthrough year — he was hilarious in a small part as Dr. Evil's surly son in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery and landed a recurring role as a lovesick werewolf on the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Both gigs upped his profile, and soon he was stealing scenes in a string of supporting turns: a drugged-out club kid in Party Monster, a goofy tech geek in The Italian Job and a canoer in over his head in Without a Paddle. He also lent his distinctive timbre to a number of animated series, including Family Guy and Robot Chicken, which he also co created, co wrote, directed and produced.
