Line 5:
* '''[[Stan Smith (American Dad!)|Stan Smith]]''' (voiced by [[Seth MacFarlane]]) - The main character of ''American Dad!'': a [[CIA]] agent and staunch [[Conservatism in the United States|conservative]]. Stan is Francine's husband and Hayley and Steve's father.
* '''[[Francine Smith]]''' (voiced by [[Wendy Schaal]]) - Stan's wife and mother of Steve and Hayley. Francine is an enabler, usually going along with the actions of the family, though she occasionally serves as the voice of reason. Despite her ditzy personality, she demonstrates a keen wild streak and she has a flirty nature.
* '''[[Hayley Smith (American Dad!)|Hayley Smith-Fischer]]'''
* '''[[Steve Smith (American Dad!)|Steve Smith]]''' (voiced by [[Scott Grimes]]) - Stan and Francine's fourteen-year-old son. He is a geek, which Stan does not like. He has also come into conflict with Stan, who wants Steve to follow in his footsteps.
* '''[[Klaus Heisler]]''' (voiced by [[Dee Bradley Baker]]) - Klaus was once an East German Olympic ski-jumper until his mind was transferred into the body of a goldfish during the 1986 Winter Olympics by the CIA to prevent him from winning the gold medal.
* '''[[Roger (American Dad!)|Roger]]''' (voiced by [[Seth MacFarlane]]) - Roger is an alien who lives in the Smith family's attic. Stan Smith needs to keep Roger hidden from the world. If the CIA were to find out about Stan hiding the alien, he would lose his job, his family, and his life. Stan feels he "owes Roger [his] life" after being saved by the alien at Area 51 some years ago. Roger is a hedonistic alcoholic who takes on make believe personas and makes the Smith family's life extremely difficult with his vices.
* '''Jeff Fischer''' (voiced by [[Jeff Fischer (actor)|Jeff Fischer]]) - Jeff Fischer is Hayley's [[drug subculture|stoner]] husband. He has a poor relationship with his father Henry. His mother either abandoned him before his birth ([[Joint Custody (American Dad!)|Joint Custody]]) or gave birth to him in his van, which he now lives ([[Stan Knows Best]]). He has an uncle whom Jeff considers a father figure. Jeff is a high school drop out. Early in their relationship, Hayley repeatedly dumped him for being needy, clingy and overly agreeable, leaving Jeff crushed until their inevitable reconciliation. Hayley cheated on him fairly often (she has been shown having several other sexual partners over the series' run), though Jeff seems to either not know or not care about this. Jeff enjoys events like [[Burning Man]]. In "[[Dungeons and Wagons]]", he writes in a notebook with his left hand and, seconds later, plays a guitar with his right, suggesting that Jeff is [[ambidextrous]]. Jeff seems to share in Hayley's sexual fetishes, once trying to assemble a [[sex swing]].
===Stan's relatives===
Line 36:
* '''Sanjen "A.J." Bullock''' - A.J. is Avery Bullock's adopted son. Director Bullock adopted him in "[[Four Little Words]]". He was originally adopted by Francine who fled to another country because she was convinced she murdered her best friend, Melinda. However, the murder was staged by Stan and Bullock (who accidentally killed her while on a blind date). Devoting herself to missionary work, Francine adopts Sanjen after his mother dies, but relinquishes him to Bullock out of anger after finding out the murder was a set up. Bullock grows fond of A.J., who cures his loneliness. Though Bullock loves A.J., he is often irresponsible with him, viewing A.J. as hindering his chances of meeting women. After Stan frees Bullock's wife Miriam from Fallujah, she immediately accepts and loves A.J. as her adopted son.
* '''Jackson''' (voiced by [[Mike Henry (voice actor)|Mike Henry]]) - One of Stan's co-workers at the CIA. He was once a real estate agent, and is a [[ex-gay|"former homosexual"]]. Apparently, when he stopped selling houses, his "[[sodomy]] cleared right up." His conversion has been suggested to be unsuccessful, suggesting that he may be [[transgender]] as well. Moreover, when asked if he ever "[[necrophilia|did it with a dead mermaid]]", he replied "Mermaid, no". He previously had a body double who was accidentally killed by Stan. He is almost always seen with something in his hands, such as a coffee cup.
* '''Dick Reynolds''' (voiced by [[Stephen Root]] in 2005-
* '''Sanders''' (voiced by [[Mike Barker (producer)|Mike Barker]]) - Another agent at the CIA. He often takes part in meetings with Bullock and Stan. He goes out with Jackson and Dick and once killed a [[Giant Panda|panda]].
* '''Ray''' - An agent of the CIA. Ray is one of Stan's poker buddies alongside Bad Larry. Ray always recalls what he ate after he killed someone. In "Office Spaceman," Ray is among the CIA Agents on the CIA's Alien Task Force. In ''[[100 A.D.]]'', Ray (alongside Duper) died in a bus crash alongside the other background characters that wanted the bounty that Stan offered for the the capture of Haley and Jeff.
Line 44:
* '''Bill''' (voiced by [[Seth MacFarlane]]) - Bill is Stan's CIA double. He looks exactly like Stan, but speaks with a southern accent. He often takes Stan's place whenever there are things he doesn't want to do, such as Steve's baptism or cooking classes with Francine. He was once shot in the knees by Francine, and, while being transported to a helicopter for medical treatment, he overheard the EMT workers discussing whether or not his legs could be saved, and begins to panic when they come to the conclusion that they would have to be [[amputated]]. He returns later in "[[Pulling Double Booty]]" when he started dating Hayley after Hayley was dumped by her last boyfriend. He later turns his attentions to Francine, trying to sleep with her by pretending to be Stan. When he is discovered by Francine, Stan chases him out and he disappears.
* '''Reginald''' (voiced by [[Donald Fullilove]] in 2009, [[Erik Durbin]] in 2010) - Like Klaus, Reginald is an animal with the brain of a human. His first appearance was in [[Family Affair (American Dad!)|Family Affair]] where he was revealed to have been a homeless man at one point who, in exchange for a free hot meal, chose to partake in a CIA experiment, and had his brain put into the body of a [[koala]]. The lyrics of an '80s theme song played in the episode imply that he uses his new adorable body to go on missions, able to distract the enemy with his cute koala body such that no one would question him. In the episode [[Wife Insurance]] it is shown that he goes on dangerous missions like Stan and the others. He is regularly seen relaxing in Stan's pool. Reginald has dated Hayley.
* '''Jim''' (voiced by [[Patrick Wilson (actor)|Patrick Wilson]]) - Jim was an agent who appeared in "[[Wife Insurance]]." His skills as a [[ladies' man]] never ceased to amaze Stan, including being able to evidently make a [[lesbian]] straight. After being captured with Stan in Latin America, Jim used his skills on the female guards to help the two escape. When Stan revealed to Francine that he had a "back-up wife", she got back at him by declaring that Jim was her "back-up husband". He was shot by Meg, whether or not he was killed is unknown.
==Corbin-Bates family==
Greg Corbin and Terry Bates are [[homosexual]] [[domestic partners]] who move to Stan's neighborhood in the second episode.
* '''Greg Corbin''' (voiced by [[Seth MacFarlane]]) - local news anchor on W-ANG-TV, Terry's co-anchor and [[domestic partner]], and neighbor to the Smiths. He and Terry have a penchant for minor bickering, flirting, and working on stereotypical "couples' issues" on the set or in other scenes of the show. Greg is a member of the [[Log Cabin Republicans]], and has brown hair. He is presented as being very culturally sophisticated, at one point causing Stan to choose him over Francine as his guest to get into Avery Bullock's high-end party. He and Terry have a [[Surrogate pregnancy|surrogate]] baby daughter, Liberty Belle. Before Libby's birth, Greg is panicky, questioning his ability and readiness to be a father, but immediately loves Libby upon holding her for the first time. He is the "[[power top]]" in his and Terry's relationship and was once involved in a heterosexual marriage, during a period of time in which he was "[[closeted|confused]]" and believed he was heterosexual.
* '''Terry Bates''' (voiced by [[Mike Barker (producer)|Mike Barker]]) - Terry Bates is a Langley Falls Local News Anchor, Greg's co-anchor and domestic partner, and the Smiths' neighbor. Terry is a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] with blond hair. He once goes out for a night with Stan as Stan erroneously attempts to "become gay" by choice, though they stop short of having sex when Stan realizes that he cannot choose to be gay. He has a surrogate daughter with Greg, Liberty Belle and owns a [[French bulldog]] named "[[Heath Ledger]]". He is the "[[bottom]]" in their relationship. Another strain on his relationship with Greg was when Greg was revealed to be a [[Log Cabin Republican]], to which Terry threw a tantrum in front of the whole neighborhood in disbelief at how Greg could have voted for [[George W. Bush]].
* '''Liberty "Libby" Belle Corbin-Bates''' - Terry and Greg's daughter, conceived with an [[egg donor]] and Francine as a surrogate mother. She was kidnapped by Stan, who believed that gay couples should not be allowed to raise children, but he was later convinced to return her to Greg and Terry. She was named by Stan after the [[Liberty Bell]]; it is not known if Terry and Greg kept the name or if they renamed her.
* '''Tank Bates''' (voiced by [[Kevin Michael Richardson]]) - is Terry's father and a retired [[American football]] player. In early episodes, Terry is implied to be [[closeted]] from his father, stating, "I've told you, as soon as my father dies I will wear the ring, upsetting Greg, who believes Terry should stop hiding their relationship. When "Tank" comes to visit, Terry pretends that Francine is his girlfriend and that Libby is their [[illegitimate]] daughter, and claims that Stan and Greg are gay lovers. When Stan drunkenly outs Terry, Tank disowns his son. After unsuccessful attempts by Stan to decipher the basis of Tank's homophobia, Terry eventually gives his father the option of accepting him and being a part of their family or leaving, with Tank choosing to disown him. Tank later participates in a [[Vietnam War]] reenactment in the episode "[[In Country...Club]]," but has no dialogue.
* '''Heath Ledger''' - Terry and Greg's pet [[French bulldog]], named after [[Heath Ledger|the actor]].
==Pearl Bailey High School==
* '''Principal Lewis''' (voiced by [[Kevin Michael Richardson]]) — Principal of [[Pearl Bailey]] High School, which Steve and his friends attend. When Steve is Student Body President, he commandeers Principal Lewis' office, as the student body president is entitled to secure any school grounds he needs. Lewis did not mind, since in doing this Steve proved that he could read, and that the system worked. He later allows Stan to teach a "morally upright" [[sexual education]] class, but only Steve is signed up for it. He is a member of the "Illuminutty" - an organization revolving around a supposed conspiracy involving the invention of [[peanut butter]]. When presented with a tip that Steve is in possession of narcotics, he displays detailed knowledge of the source and method of cutting said drugs, and concluds that a specific drug lord named Esteban Montilla is back in business and tells Steve to tell him that ''El Lobo Negrón'' (which translates to "The Black Wolf") sends his regards. He is the father of Janet but is deeply ashamed of her for "more reasons than you can imagine," explaining why he never revealed their relationship as father and daughter before. He keeps a [[Large_denominations_of_United_States_currency#.24500_bill|$500 bill]] hanging out of his pocket to make the students think he is rich. Lewis has taken part in [[historical reenactment|war reenactments]] and is "killed" during a [[Vietnam War]] reenactment (partly because Steve falls asleep during watch duty
* '''Schmuley "Snot" Lonstein''' (voiced by [[Curtis Armstrong]]) - is Steve's mustached and acne-covered [[Jewish]] friend. He speaks [[Klingon language|Klingon]], and can read [[Quenya]]. Like Steve, he has a fetish for [[octogenarian]] women. His parents are poor, as they could not afford a [[Bar_Mitzvah#Celebratory_meal|bar mitzvah celebration]], although Steve pays for one in an attempt to apologize when he is falsely accused of [[theft]]. His parents have him see a therapist who is implied to engage with him inappropriately and romantically. Steve reveals that his father left Snot's family and may have been abusive towards his mother. He is generally considered Steve's best friend but is quite fickle in this role, having cheated with Steve's girlfriends and pelted him with apples during a period where Steve was in a brace for [[scoliosis]] in order to gain social acceptance. When Snot and Steve were younger, they solved mysteries together. He refused to help Steve figure out the mystery, as he quit when "the case of the missing bike horn turned into a double rape homicide".
* '''Barry Robinson''' (voiced by [[Eddie Kaye Thomas]] in his normal voice, [[Craig Ferguson]] in his mastermind voice) - Steve's [[obesity|obese]] friend. Stan hates him, often yelling insults about his weight at him, but does not know why. Like Snot, he can speak [[Klingon language|Klingon]], and seems to be able to read [[Quenya]]. He apparently has a fetish for [[Miss Piggy]]. His normally quiet, border-line [[mental retardation]], innocent personality is the result of powerful anti-psychotic pills. After stopping his medication regimen, Barry turns into a deranged mastermind, speaking in a low voice "like [[Gary Oldman]]", framing Steve for the destruction of Stan's beloved commemorative plates in an attempt to replace Steve. His madness grows worse over time, culminating with Barry trying to eliminate everyone that might get between himself and Stan. Steve tricks Barry into taking his medication, reverting him back to his usual self. This facet of his personality is hinted at when he helps Snot and Toshi beat up a drugged Steve and screams that they should kill Steve's whole family. Barry describes his parents as ignorant and implies that they engage in [[bondage (BDSM)|bondage sex play]] and smoke [[Cannabis|pot]]. Other statements about his parents imply that they abuse him or are negligent, making him sleep in their basement and often forgetting he is their son.
* {{Nihongo|'''Toshi Yoshida'''|吉田 慧|Yoshida Toshi}} (voiced by [[Daisuke Suzuki]]) - Steve's [[Japanese American]] friend. Though he can understand English perfectly, he always speaks [[Japanese language|Japanese]] with subtitles. A recurring joke is that everyone assumes Toshi has said something completely unrelated or opposite to what he has actually said. Toshi studies [[Russian language|Russian]] in order to impress an attractive [[mail order bride]] named Svetlana in "[[Of Ice and Men]]". He is mischievous, and sometimes, cruel and [[anti-Americanism|anti-American]]. Toshi has expressed the desire to kill Steve as his greatest wish, and he claims to have killed before. Toshi used a [[katana]] to kill a group of serial murderers who were chasing the Smith family in "Best Little Horror House in Langley Falls". Toshi has demonstrated that he is the only character outside the Smith family able to see through Roger's disguises, describing him as "the alien in the wig". Toshi has a sister named Akiko, who acts as a translator. Despite his apparent inability to speak English, his sister, mother and father speak excellent English.
* {{Nihongo|'''Akiko Yoshida'''|吉田 暁子|Yoshida Akiko}} (voiced by [[Grey DeLisle]] in 2009, [[Grace Park (actress)|Grace Park]] from 2010-) - Akiko is Toshi's sister. She speaks perfect English and occasionally translates for Toshi. She refereed the hot dog eating contest between Toshi and Steve in "Weiner of Our Discontent". She dressed as [[Chun-Li]] from the video game series ''[[Street Fighter]]'' for Halloween in "Best Little Horror House in Langley Falls". When Steve develops a crush on Akiko, they are forced to flee from Toshi until Steve convinces him he being too possessive of her. Thinking he can open up to Akiko, Steve is stunned when she announces she has a crush on a nine-year old named Doug because he is a great dancer.
* '''Debbie Hyman''' (voiced by [[Lizzy Caplan]]) - An overweight [[Goth (subculture)|goth]] girl who Steve dates. When she and Steve begin dating it causes Stan to become [[anorexia nervosa|anorexic]] because he is disgusted by her obesity. Steve breaks up with her after he realizes she is causing it, but they reunite when he realizes it did not help. Stan accepts her after she demonstrates prowess with [[firearms]]. Debbie appears in "[[Iced, Iced Babies]]", though she reportedly breaks up with Steve by the end. She and Steve get back together when Steve gets Debbie to run for Student Council President against Lisa Silver. Debbie loses when an insulting page of her on the Internet is shown around school. Steve, thinking that Lisa and her friends did it, gets revenge on them. When he tells Debbie she breaks up with him, as she does not believe in vengeance. It turns out that Steve's friends made the slam page because they view her as monopolizing his time and everyone in the school goes after them. They are caught by Debbie's clique, who tells them to let Steve go and makes up with him. She tries to get Steve to come with her, but he says he wants to stay by his friends. Debbie lets them all go while she and the other goths distract the student body. Debbie falls for Snot's Bar Mitzvah study buddy Etan because she says he is more mature than Steve. Steve sabotages Etan's Bar Mitzvah, hoping to prove that Etan is less mature than she thinks he is. However, Snot is blamed for the sabotage.
* '''Lisa Silver''' (voiced by [[Carmen Electra]] in the [[Pilot (American Dad!)|pilot]], [[Elizabeth Banks]] in later appearances) - Head [[cheerleader]] and [[Queen bee (subculture)|most popular girl in school]]. She first appears in the pilot episode, where Steve tries to ask her out but she rejects him. When Steve becomes Student Council President they date, but she dumps him when he tries to kiss her, and Stan has her family deported. She reappears when Steve successfully asks her out to the prom after his confidence is boosted by the appearance of his first [[pubic hair]]. She later wins re-election as Student Council President, defeating Debbie, and Steve infects her with [[oral herpes]], believing her responsible for a slam page that cost Debbie the election.
* '''Lindsey Coolidge''' (voiced by [[Terri Lyn Rodriguez]]) - One of several girls that Steve tries to impress. In her first appearance she remarks that Steve is more fun to be around than she expected. However, she discovers Roger's secret identity as an alien and has to have her memories wiped by Stan. Later, Lindsey states that she likes guys who engage in risky behavior, resulting in Steve accidentally blowing his thumb off with a [[firecracker]]. After the accident she lets Steve touch her breast, but when he says he cannot feel anything due to the [[anesthesia]] in his hand she storms off. Steve learns to play the [[cello]] in an effort to impress Lindsey, who he describes as "a cello slut". Steve is successful, but brushes Lindsey off after a recital to attend to an injured cat. Lindsey makes several cameo apperances in later episodes.
