Roger Smith’s Best Personas On American Dad

With over 300 episodes and counting, Seth MacFarlane’s “American Dad!” has become a genuine pop culture phenomenon since it first aired back in 2005. It owes its success to its surreal brand of humor, its relatable storylines, and, perhaps more than anything, its entertaining characters — none more so than the show’s breakout character Roger Smith.

An amoral, narcissistic alien who crashed on Earth in the late 1940s, Roger moved into the Smith household after saving CIA agent Stan Smith from an accident at Area 51. Dwelling in the family’s attic, Roger spends his time shuffling through different disguises that allow him to venture into the outside world, each possessing a unique name, backstory, personality, and style of dress.

With “American Dad!” having been on television for so long, Roger has been able to invent a huge range of memorable personas, many of whom have served key roles. From dangerous villains and power-mad authority figures to his surprisingly sweet characters, these are his all-time best.
