Seth Green Biography And Filmography: A boyish, red-haired artist with a talent for making even the creepiest characters charming, Seth Green began his acting career with television commercials at the age of six. His first film role was in 1984's "The Hotel New Hampshire" (1984) with Jodie Foster, but the young teen actor's big break came four years later with a starring role in "Radio Days", playing Little Joe, a role often thought to be Woody Allen's representation of himself as a young teen boy. Seth Green's role in "Can't Buy Me Love" (1987), as Patrick Dempsey's vicious and crazy younger brother, "Big Business" (1988), as Bette Midler's psychotic young son, and "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" (1997), as Scott Evil, Dr. Evil's troubled son, further showcased Seth's talent. Previously a regular on such television series as "Good and Evil" (ABC, 1991), "The Byrds of Paradise" (ABC, 1994) and "Temporarily Yours" (CBS, 1997), Green was also seen in the 1990 ABC television miniseries Stephen King's "IT", playing the young version of Harry Anderson's character. Seth Green, however, reached his widest audience playing the thoughtfully uncomfortable musician werewolf Oz who is romantically linked to Buffy's best friend Willow on the smash hit show "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" (The WB), a returning role that became regular in the 1998-1999 season.
Green caused somewhat of a stir in 1997 when he accepted a small role in the gay erotic film "Boys Life 2" (1997) that tells the story of a gay cop who forces a gay basher to come to his house and have dinner with his family. While some critics felt that appearing in a homosexual move role so early in his career could jeopardize his future, the gay and lesbian community hailed Green for his bravery. After his role on "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer," Seth Green went on to be cast in several large film roles. He reprised his role in the Austin Powers sequels "Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me" (1999) and "Austin Powers in Goldmember" (2002) with Mike Myers and Beyonce. Green then appeared in "America's Sweethearts" (2001) with Julia Roberts, and "Rat Race" (2001) with Cuba Gooding Jr. In 2002, Green starred along with Eugene Levy and Sarah Silverman in the Fox television series featuring puppets as talking characters, "Greg the Bunny." While the show only aired for one season, it received decent reviews and built a loyal cult following. Seth then joined John Malkovich, Vin Diesel, Dennis Hopper and Barry Pepper in the mobster comedy thriller "Knockaround Guys" (2002). Green was hilarious in his comedic supporting role in 2003's underrated heist remake "The Italian Job" (2003) playing the widget guru Lyle alongside Mark Wahlberg and Edward Norton, who claims an idea was taken from him by a major computer company.
Green then appeared in the comedy "Without a Paddle" (2004), about three friends who set out to find bank robber D.B. Cooper's missing cash. He next appeared in “Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed” (2004), playing a museum warden who’s suspected of being an anonymous masked desperado wreaking havoc on the city of Coolsville by unleashing supernatural foes created by his monster machine. Green next created and voiced several characters in the Cartoon Network’s satirical “Robot Chicken” (2004- ), a stop-motion animated series that spoofed pop culture by using toys, dolls and claymation, everything from Transformers to Michael Jackson to Final Fantasy VII were lampooned by Green and co-creator, Michael Senreich. Meanwhile, Green had a role on the live-action sitcom, “Four Kings” (NBC, 2005-2006), a series that focused on four New Yorkers who have been friends since childhood. But Seth Greens voice is probably best recognized as Chris Griffin from the smash hit animated show "Family Guy" (1999-2008). Playing the son of Peter Griffin and Lois Griffin in a wacky Rhode Island town, a dysfunctional family strive to cope with everyday life as they are thrown from one crazy scenario to another. Green also provided the voices for various characters on the "Family Guy's" little brother show "American Dad" - both the brainchild of Seth MacFarlane.
Returning to feature films, Green was hired and cast in the comedy "Old Dogs" (2009) starring Robin Williams and John Travolta, about two friends and business partners who find their lives turned upside down when strange circumstances lead to them being placed in the care of 7-year-old twins. Seth then played the role of Lyle in the action adventure "The Brazilian Job" (2009) with Mark Wahlberg about Charlie Croker and his fellow crew of expert thieves who head to Rio de Janeiro to pull off another heist in this follow up to The Italian Job (2003).
