Thomas Cruise Mapother IV (born July 3, 1962), better known by his screen name of Tom Cruise , is an American film actor and producer. He has been nominated for three Academy Awards and won three Golden Globe Awards.

He was mentioned in " If I'm Dyin', I'm Lyin' ". In " Ready, Willing, and Disabled ", Stewie Griffin ponders if he is a teen idol.

Stewie Cruise is a parody of him, when his profession of love for Holmes is greater exaggerated as seen in " Deep Throats ".

According to " Meet the Quagmires ", he always runs in his movies allegedly to get away from his gay thoughts.

After having a sweet moment with then-wife Katie Holmes , her ankle bracelet falls off and she hits him with daughter Suri Cruise , runs free and then frees all of Tom's gay prisoners when Stewie shuts off the power in " Lois Kills Stewie ".

In " Mr. and Mrs. Stewie ", Stewie notes that he may have finally found a soul-mate in Penelope and wonders if this is how Tom Cruise's character Maverick felt when he met Goose in Top Gun . A cutaway replays a scene from the film, with Maverick pushing Tom Cruise's Scientology beliefs when Goose declines.

In " Fresh Heir ", Chris watches the Mission Impossible V director's cut with the step-stools for Tom Cruise left in.

When Chris and Pam admit to each other that they are inexperienced at sex in " Baby Got Black ", Chris considers that even Maverick from Top Gun must have been inexperienced once. A cutaway shows Tom Cruise as Maverick at a " glory hole " thanking the "pretty lady" on the other side and winking at the camera.

When Dr. Hartman tells Stewie that he’ll only grow to be 5’1” in " Papa Has A Rollin' Son ", he hangs out with "Tiny" Tom Cruise to understand what it’s like to be short. But when he later finds out he will be normal, he tries to stop their relationship, angering Tom who starts stalking him. Stewie and Brian set a trap in a park, sealing Tom up in a cardboard box and sending him to Zappos , a clothing retailer, where the clerk notes he lasted two weeks before being sent back in.

Tiny Tom Cruise rescues Brian and Stewie when their house is fumigated in " Big Trouble in Little Quahog ". He also gets trapped under George Townsend 's helicopter in " Short Cuts " as he notes he was doing one of his own stunts by hanging onto the landing gear.

12 Behind-the-Scenes Secrets of Voice Actors

By jake rossen | oct 26, 2015.

Everyone knows a guy who can do a pretty respectable Porky Pig. He might even mention how cushy a job it is to sit in a booth for a couple of hours, stammering, for a fat check. After all, how hard could it be to act like a walking piece of pork with a speech impediment?

“People have this idea you run in wearing tennis shoes and get lines thrown at you for a ton of money,” says Corey Burton, a veteran voiceover actor ( DuckTales , Transformers ) with over 40 years in the business. “That works if you’re Chris Rock. If you're a non-celebrity, it’s not an easy profession to make a steady living at.”

Of course, the job is a lot of fun. (And a form of self-defense: Burton’s Bullwinkle got him out of at least one childhood beating.) But it also requires actors to master a craft that requires a huge arsenal of talents, an ability to deliver a performance using only your vocal cords, and a willingness to work at the drop of a hat. We asked Burton , Sean Kenin ( Family Guy, Smurfs 2, the web series 47 Secrets to a Younger You ), and Wally Wingert ( The Garfield Show, Batman: Arkham Knight ) to let us in on some of the lesser-known facts about the voiceover business.

1. SOME ACTORS ARE HIRED JUST FOR BREATHING.

Kenin, who pops up on Family Guy as the cackling, hyper “Tiny Tom Cruise,” is known in the business as a mimic: He can approximate well-known performers right down to how they sound when they’re gasping for air. When sound engineers needed someone to sit in for a busy Ben Stiller to loop (re-record) his grunts for 2011’s Tower Heist , they called Kenin. “At first I thought they wanted words,” he says, “but they said, ‘No, no, we just want you to literally breathe.’” Kenin sighed, grunted, and ugghed his way through a session. (Kenin also does a good out-of-breath John Cusack.)

Mimic specialists tend to watch actors in films to get a feel for their vocal characteristics, but, as Kenin points out, “They might have had someone doing his grunts for Meet the Fockers , too, so I wind up doing an impression of an impression.”

2. THEY’RE ALWAYS ON CALL.

While animated shows and films still prefer to have group sessions in-studio when schedules permit, actors hired on gigs for network spots or commercials often take advantage of ISDN lines in their home to phone in performances. “I would say 95 percent of solo work, like movie trailers and promos, is done at home,” Burton says.

Because of the convenience factor, actors can sometimes get job offers on 10 minutes’ notice. “The demand is instant,” Burton says. “It used to be a minimum two weeks’ notice. Now it’s, ‘What are you doing right now? Can we email you a script?’” When Wingert was the voice of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno , he was expected to be able to turn around material quickly. “I just had to wait for the leaf blower guy to leave,” he says.

3. THEY SOMETIMES DO VOICES THAT NEVER GET HEARD.

The marriage of live-action and computer-generated characters has opened up a whole new venue for voiceover artists—though they might not necessarily make the final cut. Kenin was hired to do voices for all of the animated characters during shooting for 2011's The Smurfs and its sequel; celebrities were brought in to do the final voiceover work later. He was even equipped with Smurf dolls so cast members Neil Patrick Harris and Hank Azaria had a visual as well as audio frame of reference on set. “I had these maquettes I would bounce around on my arm,” he says. “It’s kind of like playing with action figures.”

4. THEY LIKE TO USE VOCAL PROPS.

While computers can be used to speed up or slow down dialogue (which is more of a concern in dubbing Japanese animation, where the visuals are already done), certain vocal changes can easily be achieved using random items in the studio. “If the character is in a hollowed-out tree, I might stick my head in a wastebasket,” Burton says. “If it doesn’t sound quite right, I can throw some wadded-up Kleenex in there for better acoustics.”

Burton, who was trained by legendary voice artist Daws Butler (Yogi Bear), also prefers to eat real food when the moment calls for it. “They want you to sometimes just go, ‘Nom, nom, nom.’ No! I want a carrot, a cookie. I don’t want to make a dry slurping noise when I could be sipping a drink.”

5. THEY CAN BE PUT ON STANDBY—WITHOUT PAY.

Called an “avail” in the business, some actors agree to reserve an afternoon or even consecutive days for a recording session. Great, right? The problem: Their potential employer is under no obligation to actually use them. “No one else can book you during that time until they release you from it,” Burton says. “You might not know until the day before that you won’t be needed.”

6. THEY STILL WORK IN FRONT OF A CAMERA.

While some animators like to sit and sketch actors as they’re performing to pick up physical tics, schedules don’t always allow for it. Some shows wind up installing a kind of performer surveillance camera in recording studios to capture movement they can use as a reference. “They do a lot with facial expressions, blinking, looking around,” Wingert says. “You might do something with your mouth they’ll use for the character later.”

7. A GREAT CHARACTER VOICE MIGHT JUST BE A BAD IMPRESSION.

Hank Azaria, who voices a large chunk of the characters on the The Simpsons, once said bartender Moe is basically just a gravely Al Pacino impression; Comic Book Guy is someone he knew in college . “It’s about doing celebrities, doing relatives, doing hybrids,” Wingert says. “Mike Judge does Hank Hill based on a customer he had as a paperboy.” To come up with a take on the Riddler for the Batman: Arkham Asylum video game series, Wingert used a theater director he knew who would “chew on his words, like everything he said was gold.”

8. SOMETIMES THEY DON’T MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH THE DIRECTOR.

Because voiceover actors are in a recording studio and looking at directors and engineers through soundproof glass, physical cues can sometimes get misunderstood. “When you look and see someone shaking their head, you might think you’re terrible,” Kenin says. “But it might just mean they don’t want tuna for lunch. You need to pay attention to what they say, not what they’re doing.” Kenin will sometimes turn away from the booth so he can focus on direction, not gestures.

9. THEY CAN GET PAID BY THE WORD.

When performers accept movie trailer voiceover jobs, they usually need to shuffle the lines so the marketing department has material it can run throughout the week. “Each individual tag is an additional union scale payment,” Burton says. “So when I say, ‘Starts Wednesday,’ 'starts Friday,’ 'starts tomorrow,’ each one adds to the check.”

10. CELEBRITIES MAY NOT MAKE THE BEST V.O. ACTORS.

Beginning with the late Robin Williams in 1992’s Aladdin , studios and marketing departments have fallen over themselves trying to hire recognizable names for prominent voice work. “They can be surprised at how difficult it is,” Wingert says. “Four hours of talking is different from what they’re used to.” Some A-list performer recordings, Burton says, need to be spliced together, Frankenstein-style, in order to patch over weak points.

11. THEY DOUBLE AS MOVIE EXTRAS.

When sound is recorded on a film set, it’s usually focused on the leading actors who have dialogue: Extras in a restaurant scene, for example, are told to flap their lips but not actually make noise. That work is left to actors like Kenin, who comes in as part of a small cast known as a “loop group” to provide the background chatter. “You have to match their lip movement, which can be hard,” he says. “They were probably just mouthing made-up nonsense.”

12. THEY DON’T ALWAYS RECOGNIZE THEIR OWN VOICES.

FX Networks

For an experienced actor like Burton, who has had thousands of gigs over the decades, it can sometimes be a challenge to recognize when he’s actually annoying himself. “I once did a really crappy radio commercial that wanted a nasal, squeaky reading,” he says. “One morning I woke up to the sound of my clock radio and this awful voice. It was annoying as hell. ‘Screw this guy,’ I thought. By the end, I realized, ‘Oh, that’s me.’”

Is Justin Bieber Featured in ‘Family Guy’?

Justin Bieber is featured as a guest star in an episode of the animated TV show ‘Family Guy’. The young musician appeared as himself in the episode titled “Lois Comes Out of Her Shell”, which aired on November 25, 2012. In the episode, Peter Griffin catches Bieber in a compromising position with his wife Lois, leading to a physical altercation between the two. The episode marked Bieber’s first appearance on the show, and he joined a long list of celebrities who have made guest appearances on ‘Family Guy’ over the years.

Differences in Peter’s Voice in Family Guy

Peter sounds different in Family Guy in one episode becuse he catches a cold that alters and deepens his voice. This change in his voice is temporary and caused by the inflammation and swelling of his vocal cords due to the illness. This is a common occurrence when a person catches a cold or flu, and it usually resolves once the person recovers from the illness. Peter finds his new voice to be attractive, and he tries to maintain it by getting sick again, which is not a healthy or advisable approach. However, it makes for an entertaining episode in the series.

Removal of Cleveland from Family Guy

Cleveland Brown, a main character on the animated television show Family Guy, was recently removed from the series. This decision was made by the actor who voiced Cleveland, Mike Henry, who announced on Twitter that he would no longer be playing the character. Henry explained that he believed “persons of colour should play characters of colour,” and that it was time for him to step down from the role.

Henry had been voicing Cleveland for over 20 years, and had also voiced other characters on the show, including Herbert the Pervert and Bruce. He is not the first white actor to step down from a role as a character of colour in recent years, as there has been growing criticism of white actors taking on roles that should be played by actors of colour.

The decision to remove Cleveland from the show has been met with mixed reactions from fans and critics. While some have praised Henry for his decision to step down, oters have criticized the move as unnecessary and a form of “cancel culture.” However, it is important to note that the decision to remove Cleveland was ultimately made by Henry himself, and was not a result of any external pressure or controversy.

Replacement of Mike Henry

Mike Henry, who had voiced the character Cleveland Brown in the animated TV series Family Guy for 20 years, announced on Twitter that he would be stepping down from the role. The reason for his decision was that Henry believed that “persons of color shold play characters of color.” Therefore, the producers of Family Guy decided to hire a voice actor named Arif Zahir, who is a popular YouTuber known for his impressions of iconic characters, to take over the role of Cleveland Brown. This decision was made to promote diversity and inclusivity in the entertainment industry by ensuring that characters of color are represented by actors of the same race or ethnicity.

Does Johnny Depp Appear in Family Guy?

Johnny Depp does play a role in Family Guy as a voice actor. Specifically, he is the voice of the character Edward Scissorhands in the episode titled “Lois Comes Out of Her Shell,” which aired during the show’s eleventh season.

While Depp has not made any other appearances on Family Guy, he is known for his extensive work as a voice actor in other animated projects, including lending his voice to characters in films such as Rango, Corpse Bride, and Finding Neverland.

Ashton Kutcher’s Role in ‘Family Guy’

The parody version of Miley Cyrus is shown as a hyper-sexualized celebrity who is obsessed with twerking and causing controversy. The character is portrayed as a negative influence on the show’s main character Quagmire, who becomes infatuated with her. Miley Cyrus does make an appearance in Family Guy, but it is through a satirical portrayal of her celebrity persona.

Voice Actor of OJ Simpson in Family Guy

Mike Henry is a series regular on Family Guy and is known for voicing several characters on the show, including Cleveland Brown, Herbert, and Bruce.

13 ted actors who also appeared in family guy.

Seth McFarlane stars in both Family Guy and Ted but he is not the only actor to do so as many of the Griffin family have met the talking bear.

Ted is directed and stars Seth MacFarlane, one of the leads of Family Guy , so it is no surprise the two share many of the same actors. Ted was first released in 2012 and follows the crude titular bear who befriends Mark Wahlberg’s John Bennet who wishes he could bring his childhood teddy to life. As John grows up, his relationship with Ted becomes a problem as he tries to navigate relationships and adulthood. MacFarlane’s feature directorial debut was a big success and Ted grossed $549.4 million from its $50-65 million budget with a sequel following in 2015, and a Ted prequel in the works .

Ted is not MacFarlane’s first successful venture in the screen industry as he is the creator behind the animated sitcom Family Guy . Premiering in 1999, Family Guy has been so successful that it has spanned 21 seasons with new seasons still being created. Family Guy follows the dysfunctional Griffin family whose voices may be very recognizable to audiences. With MacFarlane being at the head of both Family Guy and Ted , it is unsurprising that both share many of the same actors, even just in cameos. Family Guy ’s actors are not seen so it is surprising how many of them do appear in Ted .

13 Seth McFarlane

Not only was MacFarlane the director of Ted , he also voiced the titular character and co-wrote the movie. MacFarlane is no stranger to voice acting and was successful in his portrayal of the crude bear. In Family Guy , MacFarlane voices multiple characters with the most famous being Peter Griffin and Stewie Griffin. MacFarlane also voices Quagmire and Tom Tucker. MacFarlane’s voice of Peter Griffin sounds the most like Ted and is the most obvious link to MacFarlane playing both. MacFarlane’s success with both Ted and Family Guy is still ongoing as new continuations of each are in development.

12 Alex Borstein

Alex Borstein is an American actress who is best known for her role as Lois Griffin in Family Guy . Borstein has voiced Lois since Family Guy ’s conception meaning she has been a long-time colleague of MacFarlane’s, and Borstein also won a Primetime Emmy Award for her role. Borstein reunites with MacFarlane in Ted and she plays John’s (Wahlberg) mom. Borstein’s character gifted John with Ted when he was a child which would later turn out to be the magical bear, Ted.

11 Mila Kunis

A more well-known connection between Ted and Family Guy is Mila Kunis. Mila Kunis is Lori in Ted , John’s girlfriend who struggles with Ted’s interference in their life. Lori is waiting on a proposal throughout Ted and blames Ted for the wait. Kunis also voices the hated Meg Griffin in Family Guy . Meg Griffin was originally voiced by Lacey Chabert until Kunis joined in season 2, episode 3, “Da Boom” and Meg’s voice was slowly transitioned into Kunis’. Kunis has been Meg ever since.

Related: Family Guy Season 1 Had A Different Meg: Why Lacey Chabert Quit

10 Patrick Warburton

Patrick Warburton is another who appears in both Ted and Family Guy . Warburton stars as Guy in Ted , one of John’s co-workers who is in a relationship with Rick. Guy is a minor character in Ted but his role is expanded in Ted 2 when he becomes a supporting antagonist. Warburton voices Joe Swanson in Family Guy who is a major character and one of Peter Griffin’s best friends. Swanson is a police officer and one of his major character traits is his anger problems.

9 Patrick Stewart

A surprising link between Ted and Family Guy is that Sir Patrick Stewart appears in both. Although never seen, Stewart has a major role in Ted as he is the narrator and the first voice heard when watching Ted . His role in Family Guy is much smaller and he cameos as Captain Picard in a Star Trek special. Stewart also voices himself in Family Guy . Stewart has a third tie to Family Guy as he is the voice that Susie Swanson hears in her head.

8 Ralph Garman

Ralph Garman stars alongside Borstein in Ted as John’s Dad and they share a hilarious scene when Ted first walks into the kitchen of their house, showing he is alive. Ralph Garman is specifically a voice actor so he takes on a huge number of roles in Family Guy . The most famous of these is Jeffrey Fecalman but he notably has voiced Larry, Agent Jenkins, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gene Rayburn, and Jeff Foxworthy. Garman also voices more minor roles in Family Guy which are credited as Waiter, Cab Driver, Bowling Alley Dad, and many more.

7 Jessica Stroup

Jessica Stroup’s roles in both Ted and Family Guy are much smaller. Stroup played Tracey in Ted who is one of Lori’s coworkers. Lori often asks Tracey for advice about her situation with John and Ted, as well as Tracey and Lori sharing a mutual dislike for their boss. Stroup voices Denise in Family Guy who is not a recurring character but has a major role in “Tiegs for Two”. Brian meets Denise when picking up Peter from the police station and takes an interest in her but poor advice causes his advancements to backfire.

6 John Viener

John Viener plays Alix in Ted which is a small role as one of John’s co-workers. Viener has played some one-off roles in Family Guy such as the transitioned Meg Griffin and the completely sober version of Peter Griffin. However, Viener’s biggest role in Family Guy was as Tomik, a recurring character who is meant to be foreign but has lived in the USA long enough to sound American.

5 Mike Henry

Mike Henry has a smaller role in Ted and plays the Southern Newscaster. This role matches many of the stereotypes of a newscaster. In Family Guy , Henry voices multiple characters including Herbert, Bruce, Consuela, and the Greased-up Deaf Guy. Up until 2021, Henry controversially voiced Cleveland Brown. Cleveland Brown is a black character and Henry is white which caused backlash due to many negative stereotypes used for this role. Henry stepped down from voicing Cleveland Brown and the role is now fulfilled by Arif Zahir.

4 Danny Smith

Danny Smith plays a very minor role in Ted and is only credited as Waiter. Smith is barely seen but he is another strong connection to Family Guy . As well as producing and co-writing Family Guy , Danny Smith voices Al Harrington, Buzz Killington, Ernie the Giant Chicken, and The Finger Monkey. Smith has been a part of Family Guy since it was first created so it is understandable that his long working career with MacFarlane would lead to a cameo in Ted.

3 Chris Cox

Danny Smith was not the only Family Guy star to get a cameo in Ted . Chris Cox takes on the role of Guy #2 in Ted who encourages Guy #1 to allow Ted to stab a knife between his fingers as a game. Chris Cox may have a small role in Ted but he has a big role in Family Guy as Ross Fishman. Ross Fishman is one of Lois’ old boyfriends who causes issues in Lois and Peter’s marriage.

2 Rachael McFarlane

Rachael MacFarlane does not appear in Ted but in Ted 2 as Meighan’s assistant. Again, this is a small cameo role whose presence does not have much influence on the story. However, MacFarlane’s role is another nod to the Family Guy connection as she also voices multiple roles in this. MacFarlane, the sister of Seth, voices Miss Tammy, Olivia Fuller, Tracey Flannigan, and Jeremey the Terminally Ill Boy. MacFarlane also voiced Meg for the pilot episode before the role went to Chabert, and then Kunis.

1 Alec Sulkin

Alec Sulkin has many connections to Ted but he only plays a small role. In the Star Wars scene, Sulkin plays Obi-Wan who is a guy in cosplay. Sulkin’s main connection to Ted is that he co-wrote it alongside MacFarlane and Wellesley Wild. Sulkin’s main role in Family Guy is voicing Jesus Christ but he also is credited with a large number of minor roles. These include Waiter, Audience Member #1, Big Chin Guy, and Blind Guy to name a few. Sulkin’s connection to Family Guy unsurprisingly means MacFarlane trusted him to write and cameo in Ted , like many of their other colleagues.
