Seth Woodbury McFarlane was born on October 26, 1973 in Kent, Connecticut, USA. His parents, Ronald Milton McFarlane and Ann Perry Sage, who were descendants of the first American settlers, married in 1970 in Boston and after moving became employees of the local college. The mother worked in the directorate and the selection committee, and his father served as a teacher.

Seth was interested in illustration from an early age, drawing cartoon characters of Fred Flintstone. At the age of 5, the talented child decided that he wanted to become an animation artist and with the help of his parents began creating flipbooks, and then began publishing a weekly comic strip called Walter Crouton in Kent Good Times-Dispatch newspaper.

In 1991, McFarlane received a diploma from high school in Kent and an 8 mm camera, which became for several years a faithful companion of the gifted young man.

After studying design school, Seth intended to get a job at the film company, but fate brought him to the Hanna-Barbera studio after the release of the diploma film "The Life of Larry", which became the basis for the animated series "Family Guy".

The atmosphere in the Hanna-Barbera studio was like a multifunctional conveyor belt, where workers must perform a variety of operations. Seth began his career as a screenwriter, creating episodes for the animated show The What a Cartoon Show, and then serving as an artist and director for the project.

Other works of the young man were the series "The Cow and the Cockerel", "Dexter's Laboratory" and "I am an ermine". As part of the show's team called "Johnny Bravo," McFarlane honed his writing skills and met actors Adam West and Jack Sheldon, who later played an important role in his creative biography.

In parallel, Seth created stories for the animation projects of the Walt Disney film studio called "Ace Ventura" and "Cubs of the Jungle" and gained invaluable experience in writing the storyline of the storyline and character development.

In 1996, Hanna-Barbera released a short film "Larry and Steve", based on the life of the characters from Seth's thesis, which became so popular that the film company thought about creating a full-fledged series with funny cartoon characters.

Unable to provide better airtime, McFarlane's employers introduced him to Fox's alternative comedy executives, who gave the screenwriter $ 50,000 to create a pilot for a future animated show. Six months later, Seth presented a humorous masterpiece called Family Guy and was commissioned for the first season of the comedy and an executive producer position on a television channel.

In the premiere episodes, MacFarlane acted as a director, screenwriter, composer and artist, in addition, the main male characters spoke in the voice of their creator. The family history of the Family Guy immediately won the hearts of the public, and in 2008 the studio renewed his contract with the author, offering him a royalty of $ 100 million. Continuing work on the show, Seth won numerous television awards, including a Primetime Emmy and a Teen Choice Award.

MacFarlane's other epic work was American Dad, a multi-part cartoon for adults about the life of the family of CIA officer Stan Smith and his wife Francine. While working on the plot, Seth used elements of crude political satire and sparkling everyday humor that made the show popular with viewers.

In 2009, MacFarlane developed a project called The Cleveland Show, which became a spin-off of Family Guy, and also created Seth MacFarlane's Cavalcade of Animated Comedies, which aired from 2008 to 2010. In August 2011, Fox commissioned the screenwriter for a 13-episode film about scientific discoveries, Space: Space and Time, which premiered in March 2014.

In the full-length movie, MacFarlane's debut work as director and actor was the romantic comedy "The Odd Man" with Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis in the lead roles. The film received favorable reviews and was a commercial success, recouping production costs in its opening weekend. In 2015, the story of Ted's teddy bear was developed into a sequel called "Extra 3".

In 2014, Seth's filmography was replenished with the film A Million Ways to Lose Your Head, where the creator acted as the leading actor, and the fantastic series Orville, which was released in 2017.

MacFarlane is a hardened bachelor on the lookout for the perfect girlfriend. He does not avoid female society, but he is not going to tie the knot yet.

In 2012, Seth had a short affair with Emilia Clarke, actress of the TV series Game of Thrones, and after the 85th Academy Awards, the paparazzi started talking about the director's relationship with Hollywood beauty Charlize Theron and published a photo of the couple on a joint walk.

In an interview with reporters, McFarlane once admitted that he is very similar to the hero of the series Brian Griffin, who is trying to arrange a personal life and find a real devoted girlfriend with whom you can start a family and have children.

MacFarlane's directorial talent provided him with work for a decade to come. Continuing work on the series Family Guy, American Dad and Robot Chicken, Seth is now one of the highest paid and sought-after authors in the American film industry.
