Philip J. Fry, commonly known simply by his surname, Fry (born August 9, 1975), is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the animated sitcom Futurama. He is voiced by Billy West using a version of his own voice as he sounded when he was 25. He is a slacker delivery boy from the 20th century who becomes cryogenically frozen and reawakens in the 30th century to become a delivery boy there with an intergalactic delivery company run by his descendant, Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth. He is the best friend, boyfriend and husband of Turanga Leela and the stepfather of Kif Kroker's Offspring.
Born in the 20th century in New York City, Fry is depicted as a dimwitted manchild in his 20s, though the episode "The Luck of the Fryrish" seems to imply he was 25 at the time of his freezing. He is a pizza delivery boy who, during the last few seconds of the year 1999, falls into a cryogenic tank while delivering a pizza to Applied Cryogenics. He remains frozen until the last day of the year 2999. He then meets the one-eyed cryogenics counselor Leela and the cigar-smoking, alcoholic, kleptomaniac robot Bender. Together, they are employed by Fry's distant nephew, the senile and demented old scientist Professor Farnsworth, as the crew of his delivery company Planet Express.
Fry's parents are Yancy Fry, Sr., a strict Republican who believes in conspiracy theories, and Sherri Fry (née Gleisner), an un-attentive chain smoker and avid New York Mets fan. It is later revealed that Fry's family on his father's side is from New Mexico. In the past Fry had an older brother named Yancy; a dog named Seymour; and a girlfriend named Michelle (who dumped him in the first episode, "Space Pilot 3000", just before he was frozen). Fry had a lifelong sibling rivalry with his older brother Yancy, due to Fry's perception that Yancy steals everything from him and vice versa. After dropping out of Coney Island Community College, he then got a job as a delivery boy at Panucci's Pizza. Depictions of Fry's family in early episodes showed them as extremely dysfunctional, with a neglectful mother and borderline-abusive father. Later seasons, however, depicted them as much closer and, while still dysfunctional, more loving and attentive, with Fry's father treating him harshly to ensure he grew up tough.
