Early-life: Seth Woodbury MacFarlane was born in Kent, Connecticut, on October 26, 1973 to Ann and Ronald. His sister is voice actor Rachael Ann MacFarlane. Seth knew from an early age that he wanted to develop his interest in animation. He began publishing a weekly comic strip entitled Walter Crouton for a local newspaper. His parents gave him an 8mm camera and he went on to study film, video and animation at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). During his time as a student, he performed stand-up and also created animated short The Life of Larry. On the back of this short, he was hired by Hanna-Barbara, where he worked as an animator and a writer for Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoons series. During his time at the studio, he also worked on Dexter's Laboratory, Cow and Chicken, I Am Weasel and Johnny Bravo. He also worked freelance on projects for Walt Disney, writing for Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
Career: In 1996, MacFarlane created a sequel to The Life of Larry entitled Larry & Steve. He wanted to move into prime-time animation and pitched Family Guy to Fox while he was still working at Hanna-Barbara. They offered him $50,000 to produce a pilot at a time when most prime-time animated shows cost $1million per episode. He spent six months working on the pilot and delivered a product that Fox loved. Family Guy premiered in January 1999. MacFarlane not only writes episodes of Family Guy, he also voices the main male characters. The show has been a big success and it led to MacFarlane co-creating American Dad and The Cleveland Show. In recent years, MacFarlane has moved into live-action comedy. He had a big success with the film Ted in 2012. He also played the lead role in A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014).
