What Is How I Met Your Mother Cast Doing Now, 9 Years After Show Ended?

The sitcom How I Met Your Mother aired from 2005 to 2014 – the story of five friends from New York became a hit. For most of the actors, the sitcom was a big start in their careers.

Let's see what they're up to now.

Josh Radnor

The role of Ted – the main character of the series – went to Josh Radnor, and to this day the sitcom is considered actor's most successful project.

However, he has managed to expand his professional field – for example, in the movies Liberal Arts and Happythankyoumoreplease, Josh was not only an actor, but also a director and screenwriter.

After the show ended, Radnor decided to pursue a career in music and formed his own indie band, Radnor and Lee.

Cobie Smulders

The story of HIMYM begins when a group of friends meets Robin, 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 MCU. Since then, she has joined the Marvel team and has appeared in the franchise's several movies.

However, Cobie's character was killed off in Secret Invasion, and it remains to be seen what fate awaits Maria Hill in the future projects.

Neil Patrick Harris

Neil Patrick Harris was cast as Barney, a man who tries to charm every woman in New York. When Neil went joined HIMYM, he already had a big professional experience: the actor had been acting in movies and shows for a long time, but his roles were small.

The more popular the sitcom became, the more often Neil was invited to other big projects, such as Gone Girl, A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Matrix Resurrections.

Alyson Hannigan

At the time of filming, the actress was already known for her role in the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

After the filming of HIMYM ended, Hannigan starred in two TV series, Pure and The McCarthys, both of which were not very successful. Her most recent project was the Disney series Doogie Kamealoha.

Jason Segel

According to the plot, Ted lives in the same apartment with a friend from college – Marshall Eriksen, played by Segel. It was no coincidence that Jason was chosen for this role – earlier he starred in the show Freaks and geeks, which was appreciated by the producers.

After the sitcom ended, Jason became the king of rom-coms – he has a dozen such films on his account, including The Five-Year Engagement, Bad Teacher, This is 40 and many others.

Cristin Milioti

Viewers only met the mother, Tracy, in the last season of the series. However, it did not prevent Cristin Milioti from gaining great popularity.

After the project was completed, the actress appeared in such projects as Black Mirror, Fargo, The Wolf of Wall Street and others. In 2023, Cristin started filming in The Penguin series – a sequel to Batman with Robert Pattinson.
