Family Guy - Seth Green's Audition

Seth Green now when did you first consider the character Chris and how did you audition for him I just went to an audition I actually got this script it was kind of the same thing where was one of the funniest things that I had read and I I'm almost positive that it was that kool-aid gag that it was in the courtroom where everyone goes oh no and then kool-aid busted oh yeah and then just like awkwardly steps out of the room I read that I was like man I want to get this job so bad and a friend had been staying with me and we were just joking about the Silence of the Lambs I've I've told the story like dozens of times but we were joking about science and lamps cuz that actor Ted Levine who plays Buffalo Bill is the creepiest character ever and my friend and I were just kind of imagining him and every sort of job you know because his voice was so like or we were she rigged forever and so we just started putting him in every job every drive-thru we went to it was a combo meal and it just it just made us laugh all day and when I went in there I was like now what am I gonna do for this I don't want to be the light what's up dude you know so I I think I tried that first like the what's up dude character first and then I got balls in the audition as apparently they did in the writers room and and I said can I try something really silly and I didn't and McFarlane liked it so I got the job yeah it it's look at that Chris design the first every voiceover actor who come in an audition for that part would look at the design and come in and do a surfer dude voice which looking at Chris now and what Seth does with it obviously like he's like the furthest thing but you see that carrot I was the only jerk that walked in and said put the lures of the bird know which go with your gut is them is the the moral and that's still absolutely
