Stan Smith (American Dad!)

Stan Smith (American Dad!)

Stan Smith is the title character of the adult animated sitcom American Dad! He is voiced by the series' co-creator and executive producer, Seth MacFarlane.

Stan is the father/husband of the Smith family. As the family's breadwinner, he works for the Central Intelligence Agency. Although he once held the position of a case officer at the CIA, he is now a weapons expert for the agency. Stan often makes the mistake of applying the same extreme measures suited and used for his job in his personal life and with his family.

Stan is portrayed as insanely drastic, endangering, rash, insensitive, inconsiderate, dog-eat-dog, and very masculine. Early on in the series, he was heavily emphasized as an insanely bigoted, conservative Republican; however, these particular characteristics dissipated after the first few seasons.

Stan is married to Francine Smith. He is the father of two children by Francine: Hayley and Steve. Also living under his roof are three housemates: Roger, an alien; Klaus, the family's man-in-a-fish-body pet; and Jeff Fischer, who's Hayley's boyfriend turned husband.

Stan's mother is named Betty, and his father is a fugitive jewel thief (as revealed in the episode "Meter Made") named Jack Smith.
