Linda Cardellini awkwardly describes getting cut from 'Family Guy' in front of Seth MacFarlane

When you're an actor, not getting an audition must be tough. But surely getting the audition only to be casually replaced after you've already recorded the show must be a lot worse.

Just ask Linda Cardellini. She appeared on The Late Late Show on Wednesday and recounted how that exact scenario happened to her on Family Guy -- and she told the story in front of Seth MacFarlane.

"I did a voice on it, and I told everybody, like, 'tune in and watch', and then when I watched it I was replaced!" she said.

MacFarlane's response? "In my defence, I have no recollection of anything past this morning."

Nice dodge.
