Christopher chris griffin

Christopher Cross "Chris" Griffin is the middle child of the Griffin family. He is 13 when the series begins and reports he is 15 by the time of "Peterschmidt Manor".

In The Real Live Griffins, he is replaced by Philip Seymour Hoffman in "Fifteen Minutes of Shame".

Angry at the family during the 'recording' of a DVD commentary in "You Can't Handle the Booth!", Lois speculates that Hoffman may be Chris' real father, having slept with him during the filming of Twister nine months before Chris was born. Chris is voiced by Seth Green. However, he had not been hired until after the original Pilot Pitch. For that, series creator Seth MacFarlane provided Chris' voice, giving his voice a deeper tone as compared to how Green does it.
