We almost didn't know where to go with Connecticut - there are many famous names who call this state home. We've gone with 'Family Guy' creator Seth McFarlane because he's arguably the brightest Connecticut star of the current era, but we know in doing so we'll have annoyed some fans of Glenn Close and Meg Ryan. To those people, we apologize. If we'd been making this list ten years ago, one of them would definitely have been in!
McFarlane is a multi-talented performer, as gifted in front of the camera as he is writing scripts. He personally voices several of the most famous 'Family Guy' characters (including Brian and Stewie), and pursued similar themes with 'American Dad' and 'The Cleveland Show.' In front of the camera, you can see him flexing his acting muscles in the 'Star Trek' inspired space comedy 'The Orville.'
