Continue reading and watch video of Robert Franzese imitating Peter Griffin
A New York man who is a dead ringer for Family Guy character Peter Griffin has become an internet star - with footage of him impersonating Griffin getting millions of hits in just 48 hours.
Robert Franzese, from Long Island, had fans of the show doing a double-take, after he attended the Com Con comic book convention in Griffin's trademark, green trousers and white shirt.
But it was when the 26-year-old opened his mouth at the New York event and mimicked the high-pitched character to perfection that fans really freaked out.
Mr Franzese said he realised he sounded like Peter Griffin 'very early on', and after becoming a fan of the show in high school he started mimicking the character's voice. The impersonation came much later.
He said: 'A lot of people get really excited when they see me dressed as Peter Griffin, but they get into what I like to refer to as overload excited when they hear me speak. Since I have gone viral a few times now, sometimes I get recognised at shows.'
Mr Franzese said Family Guy's creator, Seth McFarlane, had shown his approval of his impersonations by re-tweeting a video of him acting as Griffin.
He said: 'This has all been really amazing. The amount of support I've been receiving is mind-blowing. My ultimate goal in life is to become a voice actor. It would be awesome to make a career out of going to conventions too.'
