Seth MacFarlane is at it again with Ted 2. As to be expected, he has already cast two of the biggest names in Hollywood to participate in his newest film, which he revealed yesterday via Twitter.
Yesterday Liam Neeson, today Morgan Freeman. Not a bad week for #Ted2.

MacFarlane (creator of Family Guy and American Dad!) has a knack for getting popular actors to make appearances in his often crude comedy films. His first motion picture, Ted, not only starred Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis (not to mention MacFarlane himself as the voice of Ted), but included cameos by Ryan Reynolds, Norah Jones, Sam Jones and Tom Skerritt. In his most recent film, A Million Ways to Die in the West, he nabbed Charlize Theron and Liam Neeson for top billing, as well as plenty of supporting actors such as Amanda Seyfried (also starring in Ted 2), Neil Patrick Harris and Sarah Silverman.
While MacFarlane's vulgar style is a little too much for some people, he does seem to be greatly succeeding with his ventures into the land of motion pictures. I'm sure we can expect to see many more big-name actors starring alongside Seth MacFarlane in his future comedies.
