Fry was born in New York with a family. He became a pizza delivery boy for Panucci's Pizza. On December 31st, 1999, he was supposed to give pizza and beer to someone named I.C. Weiner at the cryogenic lab. He noticed no one was there and accidentally landed on a cryopod. He woke up a thousand years later and met Turanga Leela. He was afraid of getting a career chip as a delivery boy.
