Early life and education Seth Woodbury MacFarlane was born in Kent, Connecticut. His parents, Ronald Milton MacFarlane (born 1946) and Ann Perry (née Sager; 1947–2010), were born in Newburyport, Massachusetts.[5] His sister is voice actress Rachael Ann MacFarlane (born 1976). He is of English, Scottish, and Irish descent,[citation needed] with roots in New England going back to the 1600s, including descent from Mayflower passenger William Brewster.[1] MacFarlane's parents met in 1970, when they both lived and worked in Boston, Massachusetts, and married later that year.[5] The couple moved to Kent in 1972, where Ann began working in the Admissions Office at South Kent School. She later worked in the College Guidance and Admissions Offices at the Kent School, a selective college preparatory school where Ronald also was a teacher.[5][6] During his childhood, MacFarlane developed an interest in illustration and began drawing cartoon characters Fred Flintstone and Woody Woodpecker, as early as two years old.[7] By the age of five, MacFarlane knew that he would want to pursue a career in animation, and began by creating flip books, after his parents found a book on the subject for him.[8] Four years later, aged nine, MacFarlane began publishing a weekly comic strip titled "Walter Crouton" for The Kent Good Times Dispatch, the local newspaper in Kent, Connecticut, which paid him five dollars per week.[9][10] In one anecdote from the time, MacFarlane said in an October 2011 interview that as a child he was always "weirdly fascinated by the Communion ceremony". He created a strip with a character kneeling at the altar taking Communion and asking "Can I have fries with that?" The paper printed it and he got an "angry letter" from the local priest; it led to "sort of a little mini-controversy" in the town.[11] MacFarlane received his high school diploma in 1991 from the Kent School.[5][6] While there, he continued experimenting with animation, and his parents gave him an 8 mm camera.[12] MacFarlane went on to study film, video and animation at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.[9] As a student, he had originally intended to work for Disney, but changed his mind upon graduating.[13] At RISD MacFarlane created a series of independent films, eventually meeting future Family Guy cast member Mike Henry, whose brother Patrick was MacFarlane's classmate. During his time at RISD, MacFarlane performed stand-up comedy.[14] In his senior year at RISD MacFarlane created a thesis film titled The Life of Larry, which eventually would become the inspiration for Family Guy.[9] MacFarlane's professor submitted his film to the animation studio Hanna-Barbera, where he was later hired.[15]
