Christopher Cross “Chris” Griffin is a fictional character from the animated series Family Guy. He is the 15-year-old son and middle child of Peter and Lois Griffin, brother of Stewie and Meg Griffin. Chris is voiced by Seth Green. Chris deals with the problems that most pubescent boys face: acne, girls, and school. Chris has been known to feel self-conscious about himself, especially his weight. In fact, on the Volume 1 DVD Boxset TV guides special Family Guy edition, it stated that Chris “wouldn’t hurt a fly, unless it landed on his hot dog”.
Due to Chris’ weight, he was referred to as an “Elephant Child” when he was born. Chris is also willing to do something as drastic as to convert to Judaism in order to do better in school, specifically math. He once believed his low grades in mathematics were caused when he tickled his brain by sticking an army man’s rifle into his nose and (presumably) accidentally puncturing a lobe. Chris enjoys drawing and once almost became a famous artist in New York. Chris also has an apparent physical attraction to his mother, Lois, which was noted in the commentary of Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story, near the end of the movie Peter comments about “The incest episode”. It is also seen in “E. Peterbus Unum” (where he hands Meg a note that reads “I think Mrs. Griffin is hot”) and in “Model Misbehavior” (where he says that he will masturbate to pictures of her). In one episode, Chris punched Lois Griffin in the face. Chris, like his father, is obese, has a low IQ and no common sense.
