Chris Griffin

"Yay! A crossover always brings out the best in each show! It certainly doesn't smack of desperation. The priorities are always creative and not driven by marketing..."

- Chris Griffin in The Simpsons Guy

Christopher Cross "Chris" Griffin is one of the main characters from American animated sitcom, Family Guy. He is the son of Lois and Peter Griffin and the brother of Meg and Stewie Griffin. He also lives with a talking dog, Brian Griffin.

Appearance
Chris is a chubby, heavyset teenage boy with long, shaggy, shoulder-length blonde hair. He has an orange baseball cap with black on the front, a blue t-shirt, black sweatpants, and white sneakers with red stripes. His face looks similar his father's, having the same kind of eyes and chin. He used to have a gray ring ear piercing on his ear, but this was gone after season 3.

Personality
Chris is a dim-witted, airheaded kid with a low IQ level and limited knowledge on most things. When asked about simple questions, he will usually give either a comically incorrect or overly delayed response. Although he is generally unintelligent about this, he is very smart when it comes to TV shows and movies, knowing all about actors, tropes, techniques to making a film good or bad, etc. His biggest concern and problem with life is his lack of intelligence and sometimes his weight. He is also sort of awkward, having to deal with a lot of social anxiety, mainly with looking popular at school, trying to impress girls, getting good grades, and other problems that teenage boys have to put up with. Despite all this, Chris is still a very delightful and optimistic about his life and doesn't show stress or suffering very often.

Trivia

 * Chris' full name "Christopher Cross Griffin" is an homage to the somgwriter of the same name.
 * He shares the same birthday as his voice actor, Seth Green, which is February 8th.
 * Chris is the only blond haired member of the Griffin family. This would seem odd, given that his mother and father have red and brown hair, respectively. The reason for this is because Lois was originally going to be given blonde hair, before the changed it to red.
