Family Guy cast

Dimwitted Peter heads up the family from Quahog, Rhode Island with his devoted wife and occasional foil Lois. Their talking dog Brian is a pretentious, chain-smoking martini lover but is almost always the heart of any episode. Chris and Meg Griffin are both generally warm-hearted and well-intentioned, despite being the butt of just about everyone’s jokes. And then there’s Stewie: the ambiguously gay baby with schemes to conquer the world and murder his mommy. Together, their comedy magic is as big a part of the zeitgeist as The Simpsons and King of the Hill.

  • Mila Kunis as Meg Griffin
