Roger and Steve have a love-hate relationship, in which they constantly bicker and insult each other, but show affection for each other several times.Īccording to "Frannie 911", Roger has been on earth for over 60 years, having arrived in 1947 as a result of being tricked, led to believe he was "The Decider" in whose hands the fate of mankind rested, when in fact he was serving the role of a crash test dummy.
He is the best friend of Steve Smith, and several subplots revolve around them, most notably the Wheels and the Legman episodes. However, according to the episode " Frannie 911", Roger is not this unpleasant by choice his species of alien must let all unpleasantries out, for if they don't, it will turn into poison and kill them. He will engage in complicated schemes for comparatively minor results, such as nearly marrying a woman he finds intolerable in order to get a new blender as a wedding gift, or getting Stan elected mayor of Langley Falls to construct a bullet train, to persuade Urban Outfitters to construct a store in the city. Crude and brazen, Roger has no qualms with randomly saying and doing whatever is on his mind, having little to no sympathy for anyone who might suffer as a result of his actions, and regularly misleading and finagling others to achieve his desired ends. Roger typically displays a lighthearted, carefree temperament while at the same time engaging in his freakish grossness, outrageous malice, and rascally shenanigans. Having his feelings hurt usually spurs the creation of his alter egos and schemes. Roger is slightly shorter than Hayley though he was also described as being 3 foot tall by Stan but this was likely just an insult. He is currently single and is also pansexual. In April 2014, Roger was voted "Gayest Cartoon Character of All Time" in a first-ever March Madness style competition held by Logo TV. When voicing the character, MacFarlane speaks in a swish accent intended to resemble that of Paul Lynde (who played Uncle Arthur in Bewitched). Aside from catalyzing the plot or subplot with his various personas, and despite his increasingly evident self-interest, he often serves to counsel the show's main characters, by humorously affirming or bluntly disregarding their opinions. This also helps to amplify his pansexuality and androgynous nature, which varies dependent on the plot situation and persona he has adopted.
Roger's personas have become a major plot device, with his myriad of alter egos frequently being the subject or facilitator of an episode's main story or subplot. This restriction was soon abandoned and Roger begins adopting disguises and fictitious personas in order to have a life outside the house. In early episodes of the show, Roger was disallowed from leaving the Smith house in order to conceal his being an alien. His most frequent relationships are the ones with Stan, who despises Roger for his annoying antics despite the fact that he saved his life Klaus, who is Roger's frenemy and Steve, who is Roger's best friend and his usual partner in most of their misadventures around the country. Due to that, Roger does have a love-hate relationship with the Smith family, who care about him despite being his most frequent victims. Over time, the character has also exhibited increasingly sociopathic, cruel, selfish, devious, and depraved behaviors. Roger is usually insensitive and careless he often takes advantage of, cheats, and ridicules people. The character has also made cameo appearances in episodes of Family Guy. Having lived on Earth since crashing in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, Roger came to live with the Smiths after rescuing main character Stan Smith at Area 51 four years prior to the beginning of the series. Roger is a grey space alien living with the Smith family. Roger Smith is a fictional character in the adult animated sitcom American Dad!, created, voiced, and designed by Seth MacFarlane.
