Other Recurring Characters

• Mayor Adam West (voiced by Adam West) – Adam West is the Mayor of Quahog who is named after the actor who voices him. He is a highly odd and paranoid politician. He has been shown to be good-natured but generally irresponsible. He also has a love affair with Meg in "Deep Throats". Mayor West played Grand Moff Tarkin in "Blue Harvest". As of "Brothers & Sisters", Mayor West marries Lois' sister Carol, thus making him Peter and Lois's brother-in-law.

• Barbershop Quartet (voiced by Jon Joyce, Bob Joyce, Rick Logan, and Randy Crenshaw) - A group of four men that sing close harmony songs in specific episodes.

• Beth (voiced by Lisa Wilhoit) – Beth is a blonde girl who is one of Meg's friends.

• Bruce (voiced by Mike Henry) – Bruce is a moustached man who speaks effeminately in a calm, drawn-out voice with a slight lisp, as well as occasionally smacking his lips before a sentence. Though he was not given a name until the episode "No Chris Left Behind", he has appeared in several episodes without being named on-screen; however, he is referred to in commentary tracks prior to that episode as "the Performance Artist". He even comments on it the first time his name is spoken in the series. He has several catchphrases, the most notable being "Oh no!" He first appeared as the clerk of an "exotic entertainment" shop in the Season 1 episode Chitty Chitty Death Bang, and was then seen sitting astride an obese donkey at the Renaissance fair when Peter fought the Black Knight. He has since been seen with a variety of jobs including a deacon, a therapist, a medium, a lawyer, a masseur and a barman. More recently, he was seen working at the bowling alley selling rental shoes, refereeing the boxing match where Lois fought Deirdre Jackson and working at Quahog Laser Tag. He has also been seen training to be a police officer, teaching a CPR course, running the Quahog Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and entertaining children at the Quahog Library. He is a member of the school board committee of James Woods Regional High School. Although Bruce himself is generally limited to occasional appearances, his voice is lent to a number of anthropomorphic creatures including a large bee, the shark in a parody of Jaws, a Xenomorph from a parody of Aliens, a Tetris block, and a giant mutant rat. In "Blue Harvest", he played the role of Greedo. He makes an appearance as Admiral Piett on the Imperial Star Destroyer in the episode "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side". Bruce often talks to Jeffrey, his unseen roommate. It is implied that Bruce is gay and that Jeffrey is his domestic partner, as in "Road to the North Pole" where he states in the song "All I Want for Christmas" that he wants a wedding ring from a guy named Jeffrey. In the episode "BFFs" of The Cleveland Show, Peter says that Bruce was his therapist and referred to him as "that gay guy who has like a thousand jobs." Another character voiced by Mike Henry who is heavily implied to be Jeffrey appeared in both the episode "Friends of Peter G" and "Die Semi-Hard," an episode of The Cleveland Show. Bruce is also noted for his tendency to give unsolicited advice about mundane subjects, often during critical events. This occurs most notably during his training as a 911 operator. When a victim calls to report a man in her home, he provides tips for being a good host to unexpected guests.

• Carl (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin) – Carl is the manager of the local gas station and convenience store called the Quahog Mini Mart. He speaks in a calm, monotone voice and shows almost no emotion regarding anything happening around him. Carl is a cinephile, having an obsession with films and attractive actresses. In "Road to the North Pole", he wants a Blu-ray of The Wiz for Christmas. He goes out of his way to discuss exciting movies. He becomes good friends with recurring customer Brian and eventually becomes friends with Chris, when Chris worked for him in "Movin' Out (Brian's Song)". Carl and Chris establish a friendship based on their mutual interest in movies. He does not get along with Meg. In "Friends of Peter G," it is revealed that the reason that he knows so much about movies is because he's an alcoholic and he spent so much time in his house and watched every film he could get his hands on. In the Star Wars episodes, Carl plays Yoda.

• Connie D'Amico (voiced by Fairuza Balk in earlier appearances, Lisa Wilhoit in later appearances) – Connie is the head cheerleader and most popular girl in school. Connie is portrayed as extremely egotistical, shallow, promiscuous and vain. When social, she is normally seen with her three best friends: Lisa/Gina, Scott, and Doug. She shows great disdain toward Meg and picks on her with her friends. However, more than once Connie has formed an alliance with Meg while this is usually to further her own social standing. At least once in "Stew-Roids", Connie turns to Meg after she realizes what it is like to be shunned and mercilessly taunted by her classmates. Chris has been noted to like her, and it is possible that she likes him as well. Connie has kissed every child of the Griffin family, having dated Chris when he briefly became popular, Stewie when he posed as a student, and Meg kissed her after beating her with a bag filled with soda cans. She also danced with Peter when he went undercover as "Lando Griffin" at the Winter Snowball dance. It is shown that Peter has a crush on her, going as far as to lie on top of her when she was down. Despite this, however, in the episode Peter's Daughter, Peter smashes Connie against a fire extinguisher in front of her friends and Meg, who stops Peter in the end and leads him away.

• Consuela (voiced by Mike Henry) – Consuela is a maid who is the head of the Maids' Union. She is Hispanic and speaks very broken English. She often says "No, no, no...". Consuela first appears in "Believe It or Not, Joe's Walking on Air" demanding Lemon Pledge in a court case, and is then seen answering the door as Superman's maid at the Fortress of Solitude in "Stewie Kills Lois". She appears in a cutaway in "Ocean's Three and a Half" on the game show Are You Smarter Than a Hispanic Maid?. In "Dog Gone", she goes to work for the Griffin family, but proves to be so annoying that they drug her with chloroform and leave her with Joe. She has a nephew named Mikey, who apparently sells light-up yo yos, and a son named Rodrigo, who is in prison. Another of her nephews was molested by James Woods before he committed suicide, as revealed in "And Then There Were Fewer" when she was working as Woods' maid. In "Stewie Goes for a Drive" Stewie runs away from home and ends up in a bad neighborhood. Consuela (for the second time not wearing a maid's uniform, but a turquoise tracksuit) finds and takes him to her home and puts him in her bathtub, which is also being used to make soup for a Quinceañera (girl's 15th birthday party) being held at her house. Brian tracks Stewie to Consuela's house but she refuses to let him go, wanting to keep him and calling him "Ernesto". A young male relative of Consuela threatens Brian with a gun in his belt. Stewie takes the gun, shoots Consuela in the foot and fires into the air scaring all the guests as he and Brian leave. Consuela also appears as Darth Vader's maid in "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side", and as the controller of the security system at the palace of Jabba the Hutt in "It's a Trap!". She also appears as Donna's housekeeper on The Cleveland Show season 3 episode "Die Semi-Hard". In Valentine's Day in Quahog, it is revealed that Consuela has a husband that is still living in Mexico.

• Death (voiced by Norm Macdonald in the first appearance, Adam Carolla in later appearances) – Death is the Grim Reaper figure in the form of a skeleton in a black robe who seldom removes his hood. Underneath his hood is a human skull with spiders and snakes crawling in and out of the eye sockets, mouth and ear cavities as seen in "Death Lives". He is present in "Mr. Saturday Knight" when Mr. Weed dies after choking during dinner at the Griffins'. In the episode "I Take Thee Quagmire", it is revealed that anyone who touches his bones dies instantly (though in "Death Is a Bitch", this is contradicted). In "Wasted Talent", Death comes to a college campus where a party had taken place and everybody is dead with beer bottles around the room. After doing his deed, he drinks some beer bottles to try and find a silver scroll (for Pawtucket Pat's contest). He ends up getting drunk and crashes his car. In "Friends of Peter G.", Death shows Peter what his life would be like if he continues to drink as much as he does, and if he does not drink at all. Peter learns to control his drinking from this. Death later ends up in a car crash in "Grumpy Old Man", leading him to be taken away by "Super Death" (a larger version of himself) who tells him he was going to be reincarnated as a Chinese child. He disappears only to reappear seconds later as he was reincarnated a baby Chinese girl.

• Dr. Elmer Hartman (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) – Elmer Hartman is a Yale-educated doctor who works at Quahog's hospital. He temporarily loses his medical license in "Stewie Loves Lois" when Peter accuses him of rape (it turns out that Hartman had in fact merely performed a normal prostate exam, though Peter didn't understand the procedure). He manages to regain his license after treating Peter's urination problem. He has shown a slight sexual attraction to Peter. In the episode New Kidney in Town, Dr. Hartman gives Peter a kidney because the Griffin family are his last paying customers. Also in the episode, Hartman reveals that while attempting to clone a chicken, he inadvertently created Ernie the Giant Chicken, something Peter says he is going to want to discuss later. In the Season 6 episode "Believe It or Not, Joe's Walking on Air", Peter brought up the fact that Dr. Hartman sounds very similar to Carter Pewterschmidt when he speaks. As a response, Hartman tells Peter that Carter is one of his patients and that there are only so many voices in the world; some are bound to be similar. This was brought up to turn the scenario that Seth MacFarlane voices both Dr. Hartman and Carter Pewterschmidt into a comical situation. His name comes from Seth MacFarlane's close friend and fellow animator, Elmer "Butch" Hartman. Dr. Hartman is generally shown to be an unskilled doctor and his skills fluctuate from episode to episode. Occasionally, he seems to know exactly what he's doing and performing great medical feats, such as plastic surgery to restore Peter's face, to other episodes where he doesn't even understand common medical terminology, or needs a chart to find body parts and lets Meg take care of patients while he is gone, as in "You Can't Do That on Television, Peter". In "Ratings Guy," it is revealed that Dr. Hartman is the worst doctor at Quahog's hospital.

• Esther (voiced by Tamera Mowry in earlier appearances, Christina Milian in later appearances) – Esther is one of Meg's friends.

• Horace (voiced by John G. Brennan) – Horace is the proprietor and bartender of The Drunken Clam for 30 years. Has been shown to have been working there for at least as long as Peter and his friends have been regulars. Horace has also been shot a handful of times, but has recovered from each incident. In "One If by Clam, Two If by Sea," Horace sold The Drunken Clam following a storm and moved to Florida. He later repurchased it after moving back to Quahog. In "Blind Ambition, Horace's life is saved by Peter (who was blind at the time) when The Drunken Clam was on fire. In "Save the Clam," Horace is accidentally killed when a baseball hit by Jerome hits him during a baseball game between The Drunken Clam and Mort's Pharmacy. His death causes the bank to close The Drunken Clam enough for Peter, Joe, and Quagmire to protest this until Jerome buys The Drunken Clam to keep Horace's legacy alive.

• Jake Tucker (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) – Jake is Tom Tucker's deformed son and Chris' former classmate. Jake's many appearances show him with an "upside-down face"; a mouth near the top of his head and eyes near the bottom. Toxic waste later gives him a normal face. Although typically depicted as a demanding and obnoxious brat, Jake craves his father's attention, which he rarely gets. It is also revealed in the episode Peter Griffin: Husband, Father...Brother? that he "doesn't have a bottom". Though Tom often neglects him, he often shows that he cares when Brian accused Jake of giving Chris alcohol. However, when Chris gets his own back on Jake by planting drugs in his locker an enraged Tom declares him a "bad boy" and loses faith in him. In "Mother Tucker," Jake is noticeably neglected by Tom when Tom pays more attention to Peter. But Peter then realizes that Tom should pay more attention to Jake.

• James William Bottomtooth III (voiced by Chris Sheridan) – James William Bottomtooth III is a character who suffers from a severe underbite (Habsburg jaw), which has given him a comically oversized lower jaw and has made his speech impossible to understand due to his extreme Locust Valley lockjaw accent. He has a taste for brandy, which he pours into his lower jaw. He is part of the staff of The New Yorker in "Brian Goes Back to College". In "You May Now Kiss the...Uh...Guy Who Receives", he refuses to sign Brian's petition against Mayor Adam West's gay marriage ban because he's a devout Christian. He has a son named James William Bottomtooth IV who attends Morningwood Academy and bears a strong resemblance to his father (particularly the large bottom jaw and speech). Like his classmates, he holds a strong antipathy for Chris Griffin, as seen in "No Chris Left Behind," until he finds out that Chris is the grandson of Carter Pewterschmidt, who also attended Morningwood. He is part of the mob that rushes the Griffin home in "The Juice Is Loose" to deal with O.J. Simpson. In "420," he catches a bag of marijuana in his jaw. In "Tiegs for Two," he attends Quagmire's class on how to pick up women.

• James Woods (voiced by Himself) – James Woods is an actor whose fictional persona is a criminal sociopath. In "Peter's Got Woods", he is invited by Peter Griffin to help deal with the name change for James Woods Regional High School in Quahog. While Brian's attentions are turned to his girlfriend, Peter becomes friends with Woods. This friendship ends when Woods becomes jealous of Brian. Peter and Brian lure Woods into a crate and ship him off to be studied by "top men". Woods returns in "Back to the Woods", stealing Peter's wallet and assuming his identity. Peter retaliates by assuming Woods' identity and ruining his credibility on the Late Show with David Letterman. When Woods shows up to fight Peter, he is again lured into a crate to be studied by "top men". In "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side", James Woods makes an appearance as General Maximilian Veers. In "Brian Griffin's House of Payne", the CBS producers hire Woods to star in Brian Griffin's television show, Woods making multiple changes to Brian's original script that prompt Brian to back out of the project. James Woods reappears in "And Then There Were Fewer" in which he becomes a born-again Christian due to his new relationship with young news intern Priscilla. Woods turns his life over to Jesus wishing to make amends for his sins. James is later killed as part of an elaborate murder plot orchestrated by Diane Simmons. In "Tom Tucker: The Man and His Dream," it is revealed that the paramedics that loaded James Woods' body into the ambulance recognized him and had him rushed to a Hollywood hospital where a teenage girl's lifeforce was drained into James Woods which successfully resurrected him. He's still a born-again Christian when he encounters Peter Griffin and Tom Tucker in Hollywood.

• Jerome (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) - Jerome is an African-American guy. He first appeared in "Jerome is the New Black" where he won the audition as a temporary replacement for Cleveland. Afterwards, he became involved with Lois Griffin which made Peter jealous enough to burn down Jerome's house. So Lois invited him to come live with them. Peter believed that Jerome was trying to steal Lois from him and became jealous. He kicked Jerome out of his house, but later apologized to him and they remained friends. Jerome also tells Peter that he had some nasty ass sex with Meg when he was staying with the Griffins although Peter told him that he doesn't care about that. He returns in "Save the Clam" playing for Mort Goldman's softball team against Peter and his team. He accidentally kills Horace by swinging the ball towards his face. He appears at the funeral where he states he apologizes for killing Horace. When it came to the demolition of the Drunken Clam which Peter, Quagmire, and Joe were protesting, Jerome appears and uses his sports earnings from lacrosse (which also happens to be his brother's name) to buy The Drunken Clam in order to keep Horace's legacy alive.

• Jillian Russell (voiced by Drew Barrymore) – Jillian Russell is Brian's sexy, bulimic and dimwitted ex-girlfriend, portrayed as a stereotypical blonde. She is very clueless and naïve; for example, she does not understand that Adolf Hitler was defeated decades ago. She first appeared in "Whistle While Your Wife Works". She is the only girlfriend that Brian has dated for more than one episode, and was a recurring character in Season 5. He stays with her purely for sex, though after they split, he felt strong feelings of love for her. She breaks up with Brian in "Movin' Out (Brian's Song)" when it is revealed that Brian did not want a committed relationship with her, and she briefly dated Mayor West. She got married in the episode "We Love You, Conrad". In the episode "And Then There Were Fewer", her husband Derek Wilcox was murdered by Diane Simmons, thus making Jillian a widow. She is shown dating again in "Tiegs for Two", where Quagmire attempts to date her to make Brian jealous, but she and Cheryl Tiegs leave together when they realize how immature both men are acting. In "Valentine's Day in Quahog," Jillian is among the ex-girlfriends of Brian that Stewie assembles.

• Jim Kaplan (voiced by Danny Smith) - Jim Kaplan is a con man who tricks Peter into spending money on various useless things on many occasions. He was first introduced as Doug but has been referred to as Jim in later episodes. First appearing in the episode "There's Something About Paulie", he sells a car to Peter that does not have an engine under the hood but rather a picture of one by claiming that the car belonged to James Bond. He later sells Peter volcano insurance in "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" where Peter paid him with Lois' rainy day money (which she planned to use after Stewie broke Meg's glasses). With help from the accountant Max Weinstein, Peter reclaimed the money. Jim later sells Peter a TiVo in "Bango Was His Name Oh!".

• Judge (voiced by Phil LaMarr) – The Judge is an unnamed African-American judge who presides over trials involving any of this show's characters.

• Paddy Tanniger – Paddy Tanniger is a short red-haired angry man who was a caddy manager and a Hummer salesman. He was best known for ending his statements with "Big whoop, wanna fight about it?" He was eventually killed when he was run over by a tank piloted by Brian and Stewie in "Hell Comes to Quahog".

• Patty (voiced by Alexandra Breckenridge in "Barely Legal," Barclay DeVeau in "Halloween on Spooner Street," Emily Osment in "Friends Without Benefits") – Patty is a redhead girl who is one of Meg's friends.

• Phineas and Barnaby – Phineas and Barnaby are two strongmen that usually pursue two goals: working out at the Quahog Gym and riding high-wheel 'Ordinary' bicycles of the 1860s–1890s.

• Principal Shepard (voiced by Gary Cole) – Principal Shepard is the principal of James Woods High School. He was revealed to be Jewish in "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein."

• Rupert – Rupert is a stuffed teddy bear that belongs to one-year-old Stewie Griffin. Though inanimate, Rupert has become his personal confidant and best friend. Stewie confides all his secrets and machinations in Rupert, and often gets upset when Rupert does not respond. Rupert has also been known to double as a pistol when needed. Rupert has been damaged several times. The first time in a flashback in "Stu & Stewie's Excellent Adventure," Stewie argued with Brian about the economy and Brian decided to eat one of Rupert's legs; Stewie got the leg back after a while. The second time involved encountering an unfamiliar Rottweiler dog in "Stewie Loves Lois". Rupert was torn to shreds but was later fixed by Stewie's mother Lois. It also seems that when Rupert doubles as a gun, his head needs to be ripped off, and Lois seems to fix that by the next scene in the episode. Also in "A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas," Stewie tears Rupert in two, after waking up from a Santa Claus-themed nightmare. In "Killer Queen," Stewie shoots Rupert in the head with a gun rather than risk letting him die a worse death when he sees the cover of a Queen album. In "The Man with Two Brians," he is humped by New Brian for two hours. Stewie is then shown dragging a body into the garbage, later revealed to be New Brian. At the end of the episode Stewie is shown crying in the shower and washing Rupert in despair, constantly reassuring him that it wasn't his fault. In "Chick Cancer," when Stewie married Olivia Fuller, he had Rupert officiate the ceremony. "8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter" had the creation of Stewpert, a being where Stewie and Rupert were fused together after Stewie activated his teleportation device before he realized Rupert was inside, in reference to Brundlefly of The Fly. Stewie had several times referred to him as gay. Stewie accused Rupert of choosing to watch the boys in "Road to Rhode Island" as opposed to watching their bags as Stewie has told him to, much to Stewie's chagrin. Stewie has also imagined Rupert as a muscular, human male a few times, including in "Road to the North Pole," where he builds a buff Rupert snowman in the opening credit sequence. However, Rupert retains his Teddy Bear head. During these dreams, Rupert is voiced by David Boat. In a DVD exclusive scene in "Excellence in Broadcasting," Stewie explores the experience of masturbating and in his fantasy buff Rupert makes out with an equally buff Brian while Stewie is tied to the bed. In the episode Lois Comes Out of Her Shell, Rupert's head is ripped off by Stewie's evil pet turtle Sheldon who Stewie enters a fight with in return. In Total Recall, the factory that made Rupert demands all bears are sent back due to them becoming a choking hazard. Lois in shock sends him back and Brian and Stewie go on a life threatening quest to get him back, only just saving Rupert (and Stewie)from instant death on a furnace. As they return home, Stewie celebrates with Rupert only for Rupert's eye to come off and Stewie to swallow it supposedly killing him with Chris who witnessed the scene casually shouting "Mom, Stewie's dead."

• Ruth (voiced by Natasha Melnick) – Ruth is one of Meg's friends. Her tongue is supposedly cut off during her and Meg's trip to Paris when they are kidnapped. In later episodes however, she continues to converse normally.

• Seamus Levine (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) – Seamus is a tough fisherman with two peglegs as well as two peg arms. He wears a black eye-patch. He makes his first appearance in the episode "A Fish Out of Water". While spending time with Peter and the gang in a steam room, it is revealed his whole body from the neck down is wood. He tends to warn Peter of danger. Seamus had his own talk show in "Perfect Castaway". In his premiere episode he jokes that his father was a tree, but in the episode "And Then There Were Fewer" he blames his condition on James Woods. Seamus initially claims that Woods carved him from wood and did not wish hard enough for him to be a real boy, but he later revealed that they both got high on acid one day and Woods ate off Seamus' arms and legs, thinking that he was a steak. In "Ocean's Three and a Half" when Seamus is seen naked, his body is entirely wooden while his head is human, bringing into question how he can sustain life. He played Byron Hadley in Family Guy's portrayal of The Shawshank Redemption which was seen the second of the Three kings. In a DVD exclusive scene, Seamus tries out for Fox News Channel in "FOX-y Lady." He gets a ship in a bottle for Christmas in Road to the North Pole. In "Tiegs for Two," he attends Quagmire's class on how to pick up women. In "Cool Hand Peter"," Seamus attempts to join in Peter, Joe, Cleveland and Quagmire's road trip only to be rejected by Peter.
