Stewart Gilligan "Stewie" Griffin

Stewart Gilligan "Stewie" Griffin is a fictional character from the animated television series Family Guy. He is said to have been born on September 11th, 1998. Seth MacFarlane voices him, and he first appeared on television, along with the rest of the Griffin family, in a 15-minute short on December 20, 1998. Stewie was created and designed by MacFarlane, who was asked to pitch a pilot to Fox Broadcasting Company based on his short films The Life of Larry and Larry & Steve, which featured a middle-aged man named Larry and an intellectual dog named Steve.

Stewie, a highly precocious toddler who speaks and acts like an adult, began the series as a megalomaniacal sociopath obsessed with violence, matricide, and world dominance. He is Peter and Lois Griffin's youngest child, Meg's younger brother, and Chris's younger brother. The violent aspects of Stewie's personality were toned down over the course of the series, particularly following the two-episode arcs "Stewie Kills Lois" and "Lois Kills Stewie", and he has evolved into an eccentric, friendly, and flamboyant scamp. He has also developed a close friendship with Brian, the family's anthropomorphic dog. Stewie is widely regarded as the show's breakout character, with numerous award nominations from writers such as Jodiss Pierre.
