What HIMYM Cast Has Been Doing Since the Show Ended?
The sitcom was a good springboard for the actors' careers, and this is where they are after nearly a decade.
How I Met Your Mother aired from 2005 to 2014 – the story of five friends from New York won the hearts of the viewers and became a cult sitcom. The main narrator was Ted – he decided to tell his children how he met their mother.
For most of the actors the show was a great start in their careers. But what are they up to now?
Neil Patrick Harris
Neil Patrick Harris was cast as Barney, a man who tries to seduce every girl in New York.
When Neil joined the cast of the show, he already had a good acting experience: he had been acting in movies and TV shows for a long time, but his roles were rather insignificant.
With the popularity of the sitcom, the actor was invited to play more and more major roles. Harris' most notable projects in recent years have been the TV show A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Matrix Resurrections.
Josh Radnor
The role of Ted – the main character of the series – went to Josh Radnor, and to this day the sitcom is considered the most successful project of the actor. However, he has other interesting roles.
For example, in the movies Liberal Arts and Happythankyoumoreplease, Josh was not only an actor, but also a director and screenwriter.
After the series ended, Radnor decided to pursue a career in music and formed his own indie band called Radnor and Lee.
Cobie Smulders
The story of HIMYM begins when a group of friends meet Canadian Robin Scherbatsky, played by Cobie Smulders.
Before the series, the actress appeared only in episodic roles, but in 2012 she had a big breakthrough – Cobie was invited to play Maria Hill in The Avengers.
She has since joined the Marvel team and continues to appear in new franchise projects, such as Secret Invasion, which will be released on June 21.
Alyson Hannigan
When the actress was invited to join the sitcom, she was already known for the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. After filming HIMYM, Hannigan rarely appears in movies, but enjoys voicing animations, such as Fancy Nancy.
Jason Segel
It was no coincidence that Jason was chosen for the role of Marshall – before HIMYM, he starred in the series Freaks and Geeks, which was appreciated by the producers.
After the release of the sitcom, Jason became a king of romcoms, as he has a dozen such movies to his credit, such as Sex Tape, This is 40 and The Fiver-Year Engagement.
He also recently starred in the popular TV series Shrinking, which received high ratings both from critics and viewers.
