Summary

  • In a playful tribute to its characters, Family Guy gets imagined in live-action art.
  • Unlike other animated shows, Family Guy's animation style closely resembles real life, making it easier to imagine actors playing the characters.
  • While a live-action Family Guy adaptation is unlikely, the live-action art allows viewers to envision their favorite characters in a different format.

In a showcase of Family Guy live-action art, some of the characters look normal, but a few are unsettling. Like many long-running animated shows, an online artist has imagined what the characters would look like in real life. Family Guy once did a playful live-action reveal where Brian and Stewie briefly appear in live-action as they are traveling dimensions. It's a quick moment, with Stewie remarking that it feels weird and quickly moves away from the situation.

A gallery posted to the midjourney subreddit by user Crows_HeadIC shows what all of Family Guy's main and major supporting characters would be like in live-action.

While most of the Griffins and other characters look very accurate, Peter has an unnerving quality about him. An enraged Stewie with a gun and Ernie the Giant Chicken also stand out as particularly quirky.

Who Would Play Family Guy's Characters In Live-Action

While some shows that get adaptations like The Simpsons in real-life or even South Park, the animation style of Family Guy makes it easier to imagine which actors could play the most famous roles. Kevin James, for instance, is a popular choice for Peter. Actor and comedian Kathy Griffin would fit for Lois, while Elsie Fisher (Eighth Grade, Barry) could play Meg. Seth Green, who voices Chris, could even step into the role for live-action.

Choosing who would play Stewie and Brian likely comes down to celebrity voice cameos. This remains a theoretical question at this point, as a Family Guy movie doesn't seem likely, let alone one that would transition to live-action. Part of what makes the live-action art fun allows longtime viewers to picture what their favorites would look like in a different format.

For the moment, Family Guy season 22 is on the way. The premiere episode, titled "Fertilized Megg," sees Meg agree to be Bruce and Jeffery’s surrogate. When the couple fails to pick up the baby, the Griffins have to take care of the new family member. As Family Guy is famous for its often bizarre cutaways, it's possible that live-action art in the style of the post above may be incorporated into the show.
