Roger Smith is a 4'3" (1.29m tall) fictional extraterrestrial in the
adult animated sitcom American Dad!, created, voiced, and designed by
Seth MacFarlane. Roger is a centuries-old grey space alien living with
the Smith family, around whom the show revolves. Having lived on Earth
since crashing in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, Roger came to live with
the Smiths after rescuing main character Stan Smith at Area 51 four
years prior to the beginning of the series.Roger began the series as a
sensitive pushover who is often taken advantage of, cheated, and
ridiculed. Over time, the character has become a sociopath, exhibiting
increasingly cruel, selfish, devious, and depraved behavior, although
the Smith family are curiously oblivious to his nature despite being
his most frequent victims, with the exceptions of Klaus and Steve, who
are the only Smith family members aware of Roger's malicious nature.
In early episodes of the show, Roger is disallowed from leaving the
Smith house in order to conceal his being an alien. This restriction
is soon abandoned and Roger begins adopting disguises and fictitious
personas in order to have a life outside the house.Roger's personas
have become a major plot device, with his myriad alter egos frequently
being the subject or facilitator of an episode's main story or
subplot. This also helps to amplify his pansexuality and androgynous
nature, which varies dependent on the plot situation and persona he
has adopted. Aside from catalyzing the plot or subplot with his
various personas, and despite his increasingly evident self-interest,
he often serves to counsel the show's main characters, by humorously
affirming or bluntly disregarding their opinions.When voicing the
character, MacFarlane speaks in a swish accent intended to resemble
Paul Lynde (who played Uncle Arthur in Bewitched). In 2014, Roger was
voted "Gayest Cartoon Character of All Time" in a first-ever March
Madness style competition held by Logo TV. Roger (American Dad!) Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
