Steven Anita "Steve" Smith is a fictional character in the animated television series American Dad!, voiced by Scott Grimes. He is Stan and Francine Smith's 14-year-old son and Hayley's younger brother.
Personality
At 14 years old, Steve is the youngest member of the Smith family. He is portrayed as an enthusiastic, ambitious, and wimpy nerd. Steve attends Pearl Bailey High School and is usually accompanied by his equally uncool friends: "Snot", Toshi and Barry. He has the strongest friendship with the family alien Roger, as they frequently go on wild adventures together.
Steve is portrayed as a stereotypical geek. He is a bit of a social outcast, wears thick, black frame glasses and harbors a strong academic interest in science, especially chemistry. More typically geeky traits of Steve's include his interests in Dungeons & Dragons, Harry Potter and Star Wars. Like most unpopular students, Steve is often physically and verbally picked on by the bullies of the more popular social circle. Steve's father, Stan, is often frustrated with Steve, as he would prefer that Steve engage in activities that would improve his social standing, like sports.
Steve's mother, Francine, is more protective of him, seeing him as her "baby".
Steve does not share many interests with his sister, Hayley.
While academically skilled, Steve is also quite naïve and not socially savvy.
The character was initially voiced by Ricky Blitt and was designed as geeky and physically gawky. Halfway through production of the first season, Grimes replaced Blitt and Steve's design was made to be more physically attractive, so he would be less comparable to Neil Goldman from Family Guy.
