As Seth MacFarlane gets more ingratiated with film, the caliber of movie star certainly grows. The problem with that is that Family Guy has torn down just about every major movie star you can really think of and this time around it may or may not have bitten Seth right in the ass as he was working on his new film A Million Ways to Die in the West.

Turns out, Liam Neeson got wind that Family Guy did a cutaway gag about him playing an Irish Cowboy which guess what? Is pretty much the same character that Liam Neeson is playing in Seth MacFarlane’s A Million Ways to Die in the West, that of Irish Cowboy named Clinch Leatherwood. Check out this recent interview Liam did with Jimmy Fallon where he spills the details on how this all came about.
