Peter Griffin has escaped Quahog for the bright city lights.
The “Family Guy” staple’s real-life counterpart, aspiring actor and cosplayer Robert Franzese, made a splash at New York Comic Con in October. His convention adventures were captured on camera — and the clip went viral.
With more than 3 million hits on YouTube to date, Franzese’s Peter Griffin impersonation has also captured the eye of “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane — who also happens to voice the animated icon.
“Well it’s official folks! Seth Macfarlane knows about the video,” Franzese exclaimed on social media Sunday, after learning MacFarlane retweeted the Comic Con video to his 6.4 million followers.
Freakin’ sweet!
