David ( Dave) Seville

• David "Dave" Seville

• David Seville, or "Dave" to his friends and the boys, has his patience tested on a daily basis. Not only does he juggle his professional life as the songwriter for the musical trio, but he's also the Chipmunks' adoptive father and confidant. While Dave struggles to remain calm and objective, Alvin often pushes him over the edge, resulting in Dave's famous yell, "AAAALLLLVVVVIIIINNNN!!!!!!" to which Alvin often replies with a loud "OKAY!!" Dave plays piano and the guitar. In the 2007 version of Alvin and the Chipmunks, he is played by Jason Lee.
