"Sorry son, but I can't go to prison. Do you have any idea what they'd do to me there? I'm just an old man!"

- - Jack Griffin to Peter Griffin

Jack Smith is the father of Peter Griffin and ex-husband of Betty Griffin. Once believed by his son to be a top secret agent of the CIA, Jack is actually a jewel thief, abandoning his family when Peter was only 8 years old.

Early Life
Jack Smith was born to an Irish-American family with deep Roman Catholic devotion, which shaped his religious character. After he married Betty Griffin and bore her a son, Peter, he constantly taught him how to be a zealous Catholic, hating on minorities and other religions, which Peter followed, albeit only to impress his father who never showed interest in his son's activities.

Personality
"Now son, breaking in to a safe is like making love to a woman."
