Stanford Leonard "Stan" Smith is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the animated television series American Dad! Voiced by the series' co-creator and executive producer, Seth MacFarlane, Stan is the breadwinning patriarch of the Smith family. He is married to Francine, with whom he has two children, Hayley and Steve, and works as an agent for the Central Intelligence Agency, applying the same extreme measures suited and used for his job in his personal life and with his family. Also living under Stan's roof besides his family are four housemates: Roger, an alien and his best friend; Roger's homunculus offspring Rogu; Klaus, the family's man-in-a-fish-body pet; and Jeff Fischer, Hayley's boyfriend turned husband. Stan, a staunch Republican, was originally written as a satirical take of American conservatives: he is Christian, stereotypically masculine, reckless, insensitive, and hypercompetitive. As the series' focus slowly shifted from societal commentary to character-driven stories, Stan's more satirical traits became a part of the character himself, divorced of their political context, rather than directly critiquing conservatives. In spite of his many flaws, Stan displays a mutually deep love for his family.
