At first glance, you might view Seth Green and Clare Grant as a bit of a mismatch. Clare looms at 5’7” over Seth’s alleged 5’4” frame. You might also be surprised to learn that the two have been married since 2010!

Despite their noticeable height difference, you’ll find they’re cut from the same cloth.
The Rise of Seth Green: From Child Actor to Hollywood Icon
Originally from Overbrook Park, Pennsylvania, Seth took to acting at age 7. He is not related to American television director Bruce Seth Green.
By age ten, he started collecting screen credits in commercials, TV shows, cartoons, and movies, being cast alongside Hollywood royalty like Jodie Foster and Rob Lowe.

He has even been featured in music videos like “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “White & Nerdy” and Fall Out Boy’s “This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race.”
While Seth is undeniably a talented performer, he also lends his expertise to the keyboard and the camera. In 2005, he co-created Stoopid Buddy Studios with friends.

Seth’s production company brought the award-winning Robot Chicken to Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim programming. Robot Chicken combined stop-motion animation with star power behind the mic to win five Primetime Emmy Awards for their work in stop-motion animation.
In 2019, Green made his big-screen directorial debut when he released his movie, Changeland, which he also wrote.
In an interview, he described how he reached out to friends within his own circle to cast the roles, including friends like Macaulay Culkin, Breckin Meyer, and his wife, Clare Grant.
He is said to have tailored each character to the strengths and personality of the friend it was destined for. Seth described the budget as slim, asking the cast and crew to perform each scene “tight,” eliminating the need for excessive retakes.
Life Beyond the Spotlight: Seth Green’s Personal Passions and Connections
Seth’s long performance history has connected him with many celebrities socially. With interests ranging from music to comic books, he sounds like an all-around fun guy to hang out with.
Maybe his outgoing personality and sense of humor have led to this star exchanging numbers with some of the most beautiful and talented women in Hollywood.

Of Seth Green’s publicized relationships, one of the earliest long-term relationships was with Chad Morgan. An American actress, Chad Morgan, also worked alongside Seth on Robot Chicken.
Over the years, Green has also been linked with the very talented actresses Candace Bailey, Kristin Chenoweth, and Robin Bain.
Seth Green and Clare Grant first met in 2007. They were both in attendance at the grand re-opening of Golden Apple Comics, a near-legendary comic book shop in Los Angeles, California.

They briefly met in passing, but just a few weeks later, they crossed paths again at Comic-Con. During the event, they kept running into each other, gradually getting to know one another. Not long after, a mutual friend gave Seth her phone number.
The pair describe their first date as a “play date,” during which they discovered they had much more in common. From an identical In-N-Out order to their eerily similar television watchlists, Clare decided that “this could be a beautiful friendship.”
It wasn’t too long after that Green and Grant spent two weeks on a Robot Chicken promotional tour aboard a party bus. “That’s when I knew that there really couldn’t be anybody else for me,” Green said of their time together.

The actor worked diligently with a jeweler over the next few months to create a custom engagement ring before proposing to Clare.
Within months, the two were wed on May 1, 2010, at George Lucas’s exclusive Skywalker Ranch, perhaps the ultimate destination wedding for two star-crossed Star Wars fans.
The happy couple thoughtfully themed their wedding around toys and action figures- a nod to their work together on Robot Chicken and shared interests.

Luckily for the wedding guests, all the toys were given away as favors at the night’s end!
Meet Clare Grant: Actress, Producer, and Seth Green’s Creative Partner
Clare Grant, named for her father, Clarence, is originally from Tennessee. Following years of performance training, she got her start in the spotlight at a Junior Miss Tennessee pageant. Her career blossomed as she worked to finish her Bachelor of Fine Arts in theater performance in Tennessee.
Grant modeled professionally in the U.S. and abroad and acted in various small roles before being cast in the 2005 American anthology television series Masters of Horror.
Since then, Clare has appeared in television series like CSI: Miami and feature films like Walk the Line and Black Snake Moan.

After serendipitously meeting Seth Green at Golden Apple Comics, she began lending her voice to more projects over the years, such as Green’s Robot Chicken and other animated projects.
In 2011, Grant co-created and produced Unicorn Girls, a three-year project about “geeky gamer girls.” She also starred in it. The project was a perfect synergy between her performance and passion for the gaming subculture.
The show met criticism for sexualizing so-called “gamer girls,” but it still went on to be a success despite the hard knocks.
As for Clare’s former romantic relationships, she’s either stayed very tight-lipped or, as her filmography credits would indicate, maybe she’s been so busy and career-focused that she’s not pursued serious romantic relationships prior.

In any case, Clare and Seth seem to have struck gold with their amazing chemistry!
Facing Controversy: Seth Green and Clare Grant’s Resilience Amid Scandal
In 2018, both Seth and Clare found themselves dragged into a scandal. Former actor Isaac Kappy revealed in rambling footage on social media that Seth Green was, in his estimation, a pedophile. There was little to no evidence to substantiate his claim.
On a different occasion, Kappy describes Seth as revealing a secret room in his home lined with bunk beds. He also implied their purpose was to house minors that Green called “chickens,” a code word for underaged participants in sex trafficking rings.
The wild accusations did not end with the one video. Mr. Kappy has also gone on record accusing other celebrities of pedophilia.

Things got even more complicated when Seth Green’s name appeared on a now-debunked flight log connected with Jeffrey Epstein, a known sex trafficker.
Kappy went on to write a series of chilling letters addressed to Seth and Clare’s home, sending Clare happy birthday wishes and professing his love for the family. He also alluded to his cryptic plan of “triggering events,” which is, if nothing else, concerning.
But how does Isaac Kappy even know Seth and Clare? Seth reports they had shared friend circles that occasionally meet up for game nights. It was at one of these gatherings that Kappy reportedly choked Paris Jackson.
Following the choking incident, Isaac Kappy made threats of violence against officers of the Los Angeles Police Department on Instagram, inferring that he was armed and prepared to shoot anyone who tried to apprehend him. Soon after, Kappy took his own life by jumping to his death in March of 2019.
