We all know him as "Family Guy" biggest star, but there's so much more in Seth MacFarlane's filmography to check out.
1. "Ted" (2012) Who knew a talking teddy bear could create such a buzz? Well, Mark Wahlberg and his childhood buddy, Ted, can tell you all about it.
Ted, magically brought to life after a childhood wish, shares beers, gossips, and life with his best friend, John Bennett. The real kicker? Ted isn't exactly child-friendly; he's a foul-mouthed, party-loving bear! Their bromance is tested when John's girlfriend, Lori, wants Ted to move out.
It's hilarious and oddly touching, a combination only MacFarlane could nail.
2. "A Million Ways to Die in the West" (2014) Say hello to the wild, wild west with a hilarious twist.
Seth takes the lead as Albert, a sheep farmer who lacks the gutsy bravado you'd expect from a cowboy. He's more into avoiding bar fights than starting them! When Anna, played by the stunning Charlize Theron, enters town, things start looking up for Albert. Well, until her outlaw husband comes looking.
There's a dance showdown, and the deadly fair games. MacFarlane manages to poke fun at classic Western tropes in a way only he can.
3. "Ted 2" (2015) Ted's back, and this time, he's got bigger problems. He wants to be a dad. Yep, that same beer-chugging teddy wants a baby. There's a slight issue though; the legal system sees him as property, not a person. So, Ted and John embark (sorry, couldn't resist!) on a quest to prove Ted's personhood in a court of law.
If you thought the first movie was a hoot, this one is a barrel of laughs with a sprinkle of civil rights.
4. "Logan Lucky" (2017) MacFarlane jumps in for a supporting role in this heist comedy. Think of it as Ocean's Eleven with a Southern twist. The plot revolves around the Logan siblings, planning a heist during a NASCAR race. MacFarlane, sporting a hilarious British accent, plays Max Chilblain, a wealthy sponsor who is nothing short of obnoxious.
5. "Sing" (2016) MacFarlane switches gears, lending his voice to Mike, a small, white mouse with big Sinatra-esque dreams. This animated musical showcases a koala hosting a singing competition to save his theater, attracting animals from all walks of life, including Mike.
With gangsters, love interests, and a dash of MacFarlane's classic humor, "Sing" is a treat for the ears. And honestly? MacFarlane's crooning might be the surprise hit of the movie.
6. "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" (2008) Surprise! Did you know MacFarlane voiced Johann Krauss, a German psychic housed in a containment suit? The movie's plot delves into Hellboy battling against mythical creatures who want to reclaim Earth. While MacFarlane doesn't play the main role, his character, with a thick German accent and an ethereal presence, adds that special touch.
7. "Tooth Fairy" (2010) While Dwayne Johnson as a tooth fairy is the main attraction, MacFarlane, in a supporting role, adds a distinct layer of humor. Derek Thompson (Johnson) is a hockey player who, after crushing a kid's dreams, is sentenced to serve as a real-life tooth fairy.
MacFarlane plays Ziggy, a wingless fairy (yes, you read it right!) who creates gadgets for other fairies. Their interactions? Think James Bond meeting Q, but with a sprinkle of fairy dust.
8. "Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder" (2009) For those who haven't seen it – Fry, a guy from the 20th century, wakes up in the 31st century and has wild space adventures with his pals. This time, an ancient prophecy predicts the world's end. MacFarlane offers his voice for the smooth-singing Mars Vegas singer. Just a few lines, but man, does he make every syllable count!
The plot, with casino heists, eco-feminists, and telepathic abilities, is a whirlwind you don't want to miss.
9. "The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie!" (2010) Think all your favorite animated characters living under one roof – Real World style. MacFarlane voices the cunning villain, I.S.R.A.E.L, trying to eliminate our 'heroes'.
Between attempts to survive and uncovering the mystery behind the attacks, the gang serves laugh-out-loud moments. MacFarlane's character, though antagonistic, is so over the top, you can't help but chuckle.
10. "Family Guy Presents: Something, Something, Something, Dark Side" (2009) Family Guy fans, this one's for you. The episode turned movie reimagines "Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back" with Family Guy characters. Peter is Han Solo, Lois is Princess Leia, you get the drift.
An epic battle against the Dark Side, filled with MacFarlane's trademark humor and unexpected twists.
