High profile Christian Cowan has been becoming a more recognizable name as he has worked with stars such as Lady Gaga and Cardi B. He more recently teamed up for collaborations with Eugenia Kim and Giuseppe Zanotti during his over-the-top runway event earlier this week, and it is easy to see why he has quickly become an important name in Hollywood, and now we have details on his next collaboration - Roger, from
American Dad.
Roger Smith is a grey space alien who is hundreds of years old and living with the Smith family, the father of whom he saved at an Area 51 incident four years prior to the beginning of the series. Being an alien, he is pansexual and androgynous, and this has allows Seth MacFarlane and the creators to have a lot of fun with the character not only in terms of plot, but in terms of how fabulous Roger can dress. As such, we will now see Christian Cowan help dress the alien, and his fashion show to be animated in an episode of
American Dad, and he couldn't be more excited.
"I have watched the show forever. I've always said my dream is to dress Elton John and Roger from
American Dad. Roger the character is larger than life; he has this whole plethora of crazy outfits. He's the full fashion fantasy, really. The animated version of me I think it's hilarious. I think
American Dad and I have a similar outlook on life, in the sense that there's a lot of serious and stressful things in life and there are many ways to comment on that. My approach on life is to find a humorous way to process the information that's going on in the world." - Christian Cowen
It's hard to argue with those comments, as animation has continually driven towards a place where storytelling can be told with mechanisms that help reach those dealing with depression and similar real-world issues on a daily basis. Catch the trailer for Season 13 of
American Dad below!
