Family guy: 5 celebrities who voiced themselves (& 5 who did not).

Family Guy tends to include celebrities into its show, typically to poke fun at them. Some of these celebrities voice themselves, while others do not.

Family Guy , Seth MacFarlane's animated hit on FOX, has grown in popularity over the past two decades, with many celebrity guests providing their own voices. Some have played an animated counterpart to themselves, a fictional character and in some cases, portrayed another famous person. When a show has been on for eighteen seasons, the level of talent is usually quite high.

As animation is solely a visual medium, it can sometimes be hard to tell whether the actual person is doing their voice, especially if the show found a talented mimic. Read on for five celebrities who have played themselves on  Family Guy and five who have not.

Did: Adam West

As the late star of the 1960s  Batman television series, West played a fictionalized version of himself, Mayor West, from 2000 up until he died in 2017 aged 88.   In the context of the show, this character was the eccentric, childlike mayor of Quahog, the central location of  Family Guy .

Additionally, Mayor West also had a connection to the Griffin family through his marriage to Carol Pewterschmidt, Lois Griffin's younger sister. He was responsible for numerous hilarious moments and lines throughout the years. After the real West's death, the show's High School was posthumously named in his honor. 

Did Not: John Williams

Williams is an acclaimed composer, known for many iconic film soundtracks. These include  Jaws , Star Wars ,  Superman ,  Harry Potter ,  and  ET . Overall, while Williams' name or voice may not be well-known to many people, his work is very recognizable.

Williams has appeared in  Family Guy on several occasions. However, he did not provide his voice. Instead, actor Bruce McGill played the composer.

Did: Connie Britton

Britton is an actress/singer known for starring roles on various popular, long-running television series. These include the coming of age sports drama  Friday Night Lights , the  anthology horror  American Horror Story ,  and musical drama  Nashville . 

Britton has also voiced herself on  Family Guy . One example is a memorable cutaway gag in "Baking Bad" (Season 13, Episode 3) in which Peter Griffin eats Britton's hair while comparing it to Lois' homebaked cookies. Britton has also played herself in "Brian The Closer" (Season 13, Episode 5).

Did Not: David Letterman

The former host of   Late Show With David Letterman ,  this man interviewed a vast number of celebrity guests during his two-decade tenure. To be more precise, Letterman presided over the show for 4,261 episodes. His stint began in 1993 and lasted until 2015.

Despite being so well-known across the United States, Letterman did not provide his voice on  Family Guy . Although his fictional, animated counterpart appeared more than once, it was always impressionist Dave Van Dam doing the voice.

Did: Gene Simmons

Simmons, the frontman of rock band KISS, has appeared multiple times on  Family Guy , in his full performance attire. In the story, he is a past lover of Lois Griffin before finding fame as a musician. Since  Family Guy is a comedy and not a straight drama, protagonist Peter Griffin (Lois' husband) takes pride in the fact that the two slept together, rather than being annoyed.

Providing his voice with each appearance, some of the plots that the animated Simmons has been involved in include playing at a fictitious Kiss-based festival in Quahog, supporting the Griffin family's band, and appearing for a fourth-wall-breaking curtain call at the end of an episode.

Did Not: Patrick Swayze

The late star of classic films including   Dirty Dancing and  Ghost,  Swayze was at the height of his fame throughout the 1980s, achieving status as a "sex symbol" with his leading man roles. He won numerous accolades such as a Golden Globe nomination for each of the aforementioned films. In 2009, Swayze died of pancreatic cancer at 57.

In Swayze's appearances on  Family Guy , which occurred on more than one occasion, it was never him doing the voice. While his animated counterpart visited Peter Griffin from beyond the grave and depicted an alternate ending to  Dirty Dancing , the voice was provided, in Swayze's last episode to date, by his brother Don.

Did: Bryan Cranston

Cranston is a diverse actor known for several roles across different genres. Most notably, he has played cancer-stricken chemistry teacher turned drug lord Walter White/Heisenberg on  Breaking Bad  and Hal, the lovable if the somewhat childish father of Malcolm and his siblings on  Malcolm In The Middle.    He has appeared in other shows including  Seinfeld, The X-Files, and How I Met Your Mother .

On  Family Guy , while Cranston has played fictional characters, he also played himself on one occasion, appearing in live-action during the episode "Herpe, The Love Sore" (Season 12, Episode 16). Cranston also reprised his role as Hal in "I Take Thee Quagmire" (Season 4, Episode 21) and Peter's boss Bert in "Pawtucket Pete" (Season 17, Episode 9).

Did Not: Shonda Rhimes

Since 2005, Rhimes has been known for creating and/or producing a string of successful dramas for ABC. These include  Grey's Anatomy , Scandal ,  and  Private Practice .  Rhimes is also an executive producer of  How To Get Away With Murder. 

In "Emmy- Winning Episode" (Season 16, Episode 1), Rhimes appears among other celebrities who are against  Family Guy winning an Emmy as well as white actors voicing characters from an ethnic minority. For this purpose, she was voiced by actress/writer/comedian Frances Callier.

Did: James Woods

Woods, a two-time Academy Award nominee, and two-time Emmy winner is a recurring presence in  Family Guy . As well as the local High School formerly being named after the actor, he has also been a thorn in Peter Griffin's side. In the Agatha Christie inspired episode "And Then There Were None" (Season 9, Episode 1), Woods is seemingly killed-off, only to return in a later season.

RELATED: Mila Kunis' 10 Best Roles, According To IMDB

In addition to playing himself as a character in the story, Woods also filled the role of "host" of the episode "Inside Family Guy" (Season 15, Episode 4) in which the audience is shown the day-to-day operations of how the fictitious  Family Guy show-within-a-show is run. However, in the context of the episode, Woods still interacted with the characters as real people.

Did Not: Miley Cyrus

Once known as the star of Disney sitcom  Hannah Montana . Cyrus has successfully reinvented herself to have a steady singing and acting career as an adult. She has sung in many different genres including country, hip hop, and pop.

On  Family Guy , she was voiced by Candace Marie Celmer, a fellow actress/singer-songwriter. The character of Stewie Griffin is depicted as being a fan of Cyrus and her alter-ego, Hannah Montana. Celmer reprised the role in an episode of  The Cleveland Show.

Is Justin Bieber Featured in ‘Family Guy’?

Justin Bieber is featured as a guest star in an episode of the animated TV show ‘Family Guy’. The young musician appeared as himself in the episode titled “Lois Comes Out of Her Shell”, which aired on November 25, 2012. In the episode, Peter Griffin catches Bieber in a compromising position with his wife Lois, leading to a physical altercation between the two. The episode marked Bieber’s first appearance on the show, and he joined a long list of celebrities who have made guest appearances on ‘Family Guy’ over the years.

Differences in Peter’s Voice in Family Guy

Peter sounds different in Family Guy in one episode becuse he catches a cold that alters and deepens his voice. This change in his voice is temporary and caused by the inflammation and swelling of his vocal cords due to the illness. This is a common occurrence when a person catches a cold or flu, and it usually resolves once the person recovers from the illness. Peter finds his new voice to be attractive, and he tries to maintain it by getting sick again, which is not a healthy or advisable approach. However, it makes for an entertaining episode in the series.

Removal of Cleveland from Family Guy

Cleveland Brown, a main character on the animated television show Family Guy, was recently removed from the series. This decision was made by the actor who voiced Cleveland, Mike Henry, who announced on Twitter that he would no longer be playing the character. Henry explained that he believed “persons of colour should play characters of colour,” and that it was time for him to step down from the role.

Henry had been voicing Cleveland for over 20 years, and had also voiced other characters on the show, including Herbert the Pervert and Bruce. He is not the first white actor to step down from a role as a character of colour in recent years, as there has been growing criticism of white actors taking on roles that should be played by actors of colour.

The decision to remove Cleveland from the show has been met with mixed reactions from fans and critics. While some have praised Henry for his decision to step down, oters have criticized the move as unnecessary and a form of “cancel culture.” However, it is important to note that the decision to remove Cleveland was ultimately made by Henry himself, and was not a result of any external pressure or controversy.

Replacement of Mike Henry

Mike Henry, who had voiced the character Cleveland Brown in the animated TV series Family Guy for 20 years, announced on Twitter that he would be stepping down from the role. The reason for his decision was that Henry believed that “persons of color shold play characters of color.” Therefore, the producers of Family Guy decided to hire a voice actor named Arif Zahir, who is a popular YouTuber known for his impressions of iconic characters, to take over the role of Cleveland Brown. This decision was made to promote diversity and inclusivity in the entertainment industry by ensuring that characters of color are represented by actors of the same race or ethnicity.

The Historical Character You Likely Didn't Know Lucifer's Tom Ellis Voiced On Family Guy

Tom Ellis smiling

"Family Guy" mainstay Stewie Griffin (Seth Macfarlane) dons the guise of Sherlock Holmes, while Brian (MacFarlane) takes up the mantle of his faithful, crime-fighting assistant, Dr. Watson, and the detectives investigate several crimes being committed in Victorian London. The Crown Jewels are stolen, and there's murder afoot! It might not be one of the best "Family Guy" episodes , and it's certainly no "Road to the Multiverse," but it is an exciting Brian and Stewie team-up.

The investigators encounter a slew of suspicious suspects, including Peter Griffin (MacFarlane), as the man with two right hands, and strangely enough, Bill Cosby pops up as an annoying court jester. Singer Neil Diamond even makes a cameo, but it's the historical character you likely didn't know "Lucifer's" Tom Ellis voiced on "Family Guy" who bamboozles fans.

Not all fans recognize the voice of Tom Ellis when he portrays the Irish poet and playwright Oscar Wilde in the Season 16 episode, "V is for Mystery." Nonetheless, it is the "Lucifer" star himself, but why is it so difficult to discern Ellis' voice?

Tom Ellis provides the voice of Oscar Wilde

Ellis is best known for portraying the titular role of Lucifer Morningstar, and his character has a distinct voice, so it's not a surprise some fans didn't realize "Family Guy's" version of Oscar Wilde and actor Tom Ellis are one and the same. "I know!" Redditor mr_____fahrenheit wrote. "I listened to it so many times but still can barely recognize him. He has such mastery over his voice."

"But I'm not talking about his accent, I'm talking about his voice," Redditor wildsoda argued. "The pitch, the nasality, etc. Listen to both (but disregard the words) and you'll hear what I mean."

"I prefer a man with a future, and a woman with a past," Wilde says as he totes a handkerchief in front of Brian and Stewie, but Oscar only appears on screen for a total of four seconds. In the end, much like "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane, Ellis is skilled at manipulating his voice. "V is for Mystery" is the perfect platform for Ellis to showcase his voiceover talent, and his nuanced performance keeps Wilde from seeming too pretentious a foil for Brian and Stewie. However, what might surprise fans the most, is that Ellis based the voice of Lucifer partly on Oscar Wilde! In an interview with LipRoll , Ellis revealed the genesis of Lucifer's speech, and Ellis also attributed its starting point to Mick Jagger and Noël Coward.

The Blunt, Perfect Reason Adam West Played Himself On Family Guy

Adam West Family Guy Stabbing the Ocean

Adam West will certainly always be remembered as the star of the Batman television series from the 1960s, but he also left an indelible mark on pop culture making regular appearances on the animated hit show Family Guy . Playing a version of himself who also happens to be the mayor of Quahog, Rhode Island, the actor made his first appearance in the show's second season, and made regular appearances in every season after that. Of course, the question always lingered: why did Adam West voice "himself" instead of an original character? Earlier tonight, Ralph Garman, radio host and friend of West's and Seth MacFarlane's, revealed the answer:

I asked Seth once, 'Why didn't you create a character for him? Why is the mayor of Quahog Adam West?' He said, 'Adam West is the greatest character you could ever hope to create. I want Adam to be Adam.' And it's been a dozen years!

Because Adam West's first Family Guy appearance was back in 2000, it's actually been closer to 20 years than a dozen -- but the larger point is that we've been laughing at the antics of Mayor Adam West for a very long time. Garman told this story while on stage during a "Remembering Adam West" panel at San Diego Comic-Con -- joined on stage by writer/director Kevin Smith , Batman: The Movie star Lee Meriwether, and Batman: Brave and the Bold producer James Tucker. Garman, who has also done a lot of voice work on Family Guy , also recounted exactly how it was that Seth MacFarlane originally came to work with Adam West, explaining that their relationship went back to when MacFarlane was a writer on the Cartoon Network series Johnny Bravo . Said Garman,

[Seth] knew Adam could be funny, and he wanted to give him a chance to be so when he was working on a show called Johnny Bravo. And he had an idea for "Johnny Bravo Meets Adam West," with the hopes of spinning it off and giving Adam his own animated serial. And that did not happen, but Seth remembered him when he went on to do Family Guy, and eventually made him the mayor of Quahog.

Between his work on Batman and Family Guy , Adam West most definitely did get the opportunity to show the world how funny he could be before he passed away last month . Because he could act like a limitless nutjob in the animated world, his work on the latter was surreally hilarious, and whenever he was on the screen he truly upped the random humor ante (which is impressive for a show that is almost entirely made up of random humor). To celebrate his many years of great work on the series, we definitely recommend giving the amazing montage video below a watch:
