He is voiced by cartoonist Seth MacFarlane and first appeared on television, along with the rest of the family, in the 15-minute short on December 20, 1998. Peter was created and designed by MacFarlane himself. MacFarlane was asked to pitch a pilot to the Fox Broadcasting Company based on ''Larry & Steve'', a short made by MacFarlane which featured a middle-aged character named Larry and an intellectual dog, Steve. After the pilot was given the green light, The Griffin family appeared on the episode "Death Has a Shadow". Peter is married to Lois Griffin and is the father of Meg, Chris, and Stewie. He also has a dog named Brian, with whom he is best friends. He has worked at a toy factory, and at Quahog's Brewery. Despite the suburban blue-collar routine of his life, he has had a number of remarkable experiences. Peter's voice was inspired by a janitor that MacFarlane heard at his school. His appearance was a redesign of the protagonist Larry from MacFarlane's previous animated short films ''The Life of Larry'' and ''Larry & Steve''. He has appeared in several pieces of ''Family Guy'' merchandise, including toys, T-shirts and a video game, and has made crossover appearances in other shows, including ''The Simpsons'', ''South Park'', ''Drawn Together'', ''American Dad!'', and the ''Family Guy'' spin-off ''The Cleveland Show''. == Role in ''Family Guy'' == Peter Griffin is a middle class Irish American, who is an overweight blue collar worker with a prominent Rhode Island and Eastern Massachusetts accent. He is the husband of Lois and the father of Meg, Chris and Stewie. He is the illegitimate son of Thelma Griffin and Mickey McFinnigan and was raised by Thelma and her husband Francis as Francis's son. Peter and his family live in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island, which is modeled after Providence, Rhode Island. Peter primarily worked as a safety inspector at the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory, until his boss Jonathan Weed choked to death on a dinner roll; he then became a fisherman on his own boat, known as the "S.S. More Powerful than Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and The Incredible Hulk Put Together," with the help of two Portuguese immigrants, Santos and Pasqual, until his boat was destroyed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=TV Squad )〕 He now works in the shipping department of the Pawtucket Patriot brewery. Peter is also shown in various jobs for single episodes and cutaway gags. In one episode Peter played for the New England Patriots until his behavior resulted in him being kicked off the team. In a running gag, storylines are randomly interrupted by extremely long, unexpected fights between Peter and Ernie the Giant Chicken, an anthropomorphic chicken who serves as a rival to Peter.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Danny Smith:Credits )〕 These battles parody the action film genre, with explosions, high-speed chases, and immense devastation to the town of Quahog. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Griffin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
