Michael Wayne "Mike" Barker (born June 7, 1968 in Los Angeles, California, U.S.) is an American writer and producer, best known for his work on the adult animated television series Family Guy and for co-creating American Dad!. He has also done voice work on both series.
Career
Michael Wayne "Mike" Barker worked with Seth MacFarlane and Matt Weitzman as a writer and producer on early seasons of Family Guy.[1] He has also voiced some of the characters, most notably Terry Bates.
In 2003, MacFarlane presented to Barker an idea for a new adult animated series. The idea revolved around a conservative father and his liberal hippy daughter. Barker accepted the offer to develop the series with MacFarlane and Weitzman.[2] Barker also provided voice work for the series.[citation needed] MacFarlane has credited Barker and Weitzman with American Dad!'s success and longevity, stating that the two of them have been in charge of creative direction over the series since its beginnings.[citation needed]
It was announced on November 4, 2013 that Barker had departed American Dad! after 10 seasons with the program, and was replaced by Weitzman as the series' sole showrunner. Barker remains under an overall contract with 20th Century Fox Television.[3][4]
