The lively person of Cleveland, known for his particular voice, at first sounded very unique.

Megatron Griffin

This Rhode Island association is additionally highlighted by references to areas in the state as well as the bar "The Smashed Mollusk."

Seth MacFarlane, the driving force behind the show, isn't just its maker; he's also the voice behind a few key characters.
