Family Guy voices and the voice acting that goes into Family Guy is some of the best in the business. Of course there's Seth MacFarlane, the one who started it all. He lends his vocals to Peter, Stewie, Brian, and upwards of 40 other characters. Then you have Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, and Seth Green who voice Lois, Meg and Chris, but do you know who else is behind some of your favorite characters? Everyone from Patrick Stewart to Ellen Page to Betty White has lent their unique voices to the show.

Even other animated shows have taken offense to Family Guy, and we haven't even gotten to the law suits yet.
