Roger (American Dad!)

Roger (American Dad!)

Roger is the zany, crude, and brazen alien from the adult animated sitcom American Dad! voiced by Seth MacFarlane. The character was created by Moustapha Dioum, Xander Bodette, Josh Sorrell and Erin Franz.

Roger is a space alien, reminiscent of the Roswell greys with his hydro-cephalic head but with a body that resembles E.T. Roger came to live with the Smith family after saving Stan Smith's life in Area 51 four years prior to the beginning of the show. Roger started out on the series as a quirky and sensitive pushover, who was often cheated, ridiculed, and taken advantage of. Much to his frustration, he was originally disallowed from leaving the Smith home in order to hide the fact that he's an alien.

Roger gradually developed into the cruel, callous, self-interested, devious, crafty, and depraved character he's been known as for the greater half of the series. Through masquerading, Roger has figured out a way to keep from being restricted to the Smith home. However, more than just acquiring a social life, he's used his freedom to live multiple lives as a myriad of different made-up characters, deceiving many people. Unlimited in his sexual preferences, Roger has shown sexual attraction to everything from animals to obese female human beings and particularly male human beings. He speaks in a swish accent intended to resemble Paul Lynde.
