Is There Anything Seth MacFarlane Can't Do?
Leading up to his big-screen debut, the 38-year-old MacFarlane has been a TV hit-maker and animation voice star since his mid-20s, a career whose roots go back to when he started drawing at age 2. He's done sold-out live musical comedy shows, which led to last year's Grammy-nominated album "Music Is Better Than Words," with MacFarlane crooning Sinatra-style orchestra standards. His live-action Fox comedy "Dads" starring another Seth (Green) and Giovanni Ribisi was panned by critics from the onset and was recently canceled. And his stint as the host of the 2013 Academy Awards telecast left viewers divided. MacFarlane acted out Ted's dialogue off-camera for his stars while he was directing the film.
With both an Oscar and Grammy nomination under his belt, the writer-singer-actor-producer-director has recently completed his first-ever Christmas album, which includes collaborations with Norah Jones and Sara Bareilles MacFarlane and McNeely cherry-picked both timeless holiday songs and lesser-known gems. MacFarlane tackles such chestnuts as “Let It Snow," and brings a new interpretation to the Lee Gordon rarity “Christmas Dreaming.” Jones joins him for Seger Ellis and Al Stillman 's “Little Jack Frost Get Lost”, while Bareilles lends her pipes to Frank Loesser ’s “Baby It’s Cold Outside.”

I go into new things not afraid to fail. I went into this project ("Ted") with that in mind, I went into the album project with that attitude. I like things that scare me a little bit." It's not all high tech. For the upcoming album, MacFarlane got his rat pack era on and recorded at Capitol Records with the microphone used by Sinatra–– nicknamed "The Frank"––on loan from the Smithsonian. The tracks were laid down in analog, no less.
