F Is For Family is comedian Bill Burr's brainchild, originally releasing on Netflix in 2015. The show about a dysfunctional Irish-American Pennsylvania family in the 1970s will debut its fifth - and final - season sometime this year.

The series is written by Burr and Emmy-award winning Simpsons alum Michael Price who has also written for Disney's Hercules animated series and several Lego: Star Wars projects. Vince Vaughn, star of the upcoming crime comedy thriller, Queenpins serves as one of the show's executive producers.

With a mixture of good-natured characters and politically incorrect dialogue the show quickly became a hit, scoring an 85% on Rotten Tomatoes. The animated show has had some guest roles voiced by celebrity actors such as Kurtwood Smith, Carol Kane, Amy Sedaris, Darryl Mitchell, Will Sasso, and Snoop Dog.

Aside from Burr, voicing the main role of Frank Murphy, the talented main cast includes a varied assortment of veteran film stars, voice actors, and even an American Idol finalist!

Born in Canton, Massachusetts, the 53-year-old comedian was no stranger to voice acting when he pitched F Is For Family, having played the role of Jason Michaels in Grand Theft Auto IV and its expansion, The Lost And Damned. Though, with only one or two roles, it makes Burr the odd-man-out as far as experience on his own cast.

Known for his in-your-face style of comedy where he regularly tackles topics such as racism, political correctness, and feminism, Burr has earned praise in the same vein as Dave Chappelle. Rolling Stone called Burr "the undisputed heavyweight champ of rage-fueled humor" in 2013. Of course, in the same article they called him "the new Louis C.K." - and Burr's career has outlived that comparison, hasn't it?

Burr's comedy special You People Are All The Same was the first Netflix Original stand-up comedy special when it debuted in 2012. Since then he has put out three more stand-up specials for Netflix: 2014's I'm Sorry You Feel That Way, 2017's Walk Your Way Out, and 2019's Paper Tiger.

Kevin is an awkward, sometimes hostile teenager who doesn’t fit in—and, sadly, Long said it wasn’t a stretch for him to tap into that mindset. After five seasons, the funny adult animated series, co-created by comedian Bill Burr, ended in 2021. 

Kevin is a weed-smoking teen who wants to be a musician—and has a good heart

F is For Family, which is streaming on Netflix, is about a stressed out, foul-mouthed and loving family—and as the oldest child who has cut school 37 times, Kevin fits right in.

Long seems to capture Kevin’s teen angst perfectly, some say. Kevin is a slacker who smokes weed and wants to be a musician. He also curses a lot and has a short temper. 

Even with these shortcomings, viewers can see that Kevin is deep and has a good heart. “Despite his tough exterior, he’s a sensitive boy,” Fandom reports. He’s nice to his siblings, especially to his little sister Maureen, who often sits in his room listening to him play the guitar. 

Long remembers perfectly how it feels for a teen not to fit in

Long turned 43 years old in 2021, yet he plays the rebellious teenager Kevin with ease. Meredith Vieira asked Long if it was a challenge to play the part of a young, awkward teen. 

“Sadly it was not hard,” Long tells Vieira when he appeared on The Meredith Vieira Show in 2015, “I still very much identify with … that awkward part,” Long explains, meaning that he remembers the feelings he had as a teen, and how they’re similar. “I mean, it’s not to say that I haven’t grown and hopefully evolved … but I can still access that,” he adds while describing Kevin’s personality as “very hostile.” 

Long reveals a few details about his own teen years while talking to Vieira, saying he was an awkward kid. “When I was in high school, I was very small, I was 4’9″, and I weighed 89 pounds,” he explains.  

“That’s hard,” Vieira replies, “you have to compensate in some way.” They discuss how so many teens end up acting like the class clown or act out in some other way when they’re overcompensating for feeling left out.

But Long didn’t have it that hard growing up—he says he never got picked on. “I think I was so small that I was too easy of a target,” he says. “I didn’t get teased … but that’s why I started acting, and I liked making people laugh,” he says. 

Long’s career spans decades

Loved getting to be back in the studios with this group – even @alroker! ?❤️ https://t.co/fZuABcGj8c
