How I Met Your Mother was the type of show that had something for everyone. The mysterious identity of the titular mother, which spanned six seasons until its reveal in Season 7, became a topic of conversation for countless TV aficionados. Meanwhile, the end result of the series finale sparked a number of ongoing debates about subverting expectations, and whether that's a positive or negative, still varies in the online space.
However, despite the opinions of how the fictional series ended, the cast was always fantastic, and since then, they've each gone on to incredible projects worth diving into. From guest appearances to new big roles, here's where the How I Met Your Mother cast is today.
Josh Radnor (Ted Mosby)
As the main character of Ted Mosby, Josh Radnor hasn't been in any similar comedies since, but he has indeed kept somewhat busy with a few projects here and there. He's been in Mercy Street and Rise, and he's even made a guest appearance in Grey's Anatomy. Though he doesn't have any projects lined up at the moment, his last appearance was in Ramona at Midlife.
Jason Segel (Marshall Eriksen)
Since his time on How I Met Your Mother, Jason Segel has appeared in a few comedies, but, most noteworthy, is his current role as Jimmy Laird in Shrinking, where he also serves as an executive producer alongside Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein. Shrinking is Segel's most hilarious and admirable role to date, as his performances showcase that not only is he excellent in comedy, but he's also brilliant in managing devastatingly heartbreaking emotions that add layers to an already brilliant and complex character.
Cobie Smulders (Robin Scherbatsky)
Cobie Smulders was incredible as Robin Scherbatsky, shining as a scene-stealing actress during and after her time on How I Met Your Mother, with various iconic roles under her belt. She's filled the inimitable shoes of Agent Maria Hill in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in films like The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and even guest appearances in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Smulders also returned briefly to reprise her role as Robin in the spin-off, How I Met Your Father, and also made a guest appearance in Shrinking alongside co-star Jason Segel.
Neil Patrick Harris (Barney Stinson)
From guest-hosting as himself to taking on the mantle as Count Olaf in A Series of Unfortunate Events, Neil Patrick Harris continues to shine after How I Met Your Mother. Like his co-star Smulders, he has also briefly reprised his role as Barney in How I Met Your Father while also appearing in Doctor Who and starring in Netflix's Uncoupled.
Alyson Hannigan (Lily Aldrin)
Before she starred in How I Met Your Mother as Lily Aldrin, Alyson Hannigan was best known for her roles in the American Pie films and for her incredible depiction of Willow Rosenberg in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Since her time as Lily, she has been in a number of films and TV shows, including Kim Possible (the movie) and Fancy Nancy.
Cristin Milioti (Tracy McConnell/The Mother)
Although her time in the series was short-lived, Cristin Milioti's Tracy made a tremendous impact as the mother. While she had a few credits under her belt at the time, her ability to steal hearts was no small feat. Since then, she's been in series like Black Mirror, starred in romantic comedies like Palm Springs. Most recently, Milioti appeared in The Penguin as Sofia Falcone, for which she's now nominated for Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series.
David Henrie (Son)
David Henrie's role in How I Met Your Mother was brief, but viewers did get to watch the actor grow. He hasn't been in too many things since then, even as he was most known for his role as Justin Russo in Wizards of Waverly Place. Currently, he has made appearances in the reboot series, Wizards Beyond Waverley Place.
Lyndsy Fonseca (Daughter)
While appearing as the daughter in How I Met Your Mother, Lyndsy Fonseca also appeared in Nikita. Since her time on the series, she also starred in Agent Carter, as Peggy Carter's beloved roommate, and has appeared in a number of Hallmark movies like Where Are You, Christmas? and Holiday Crashers. She has also been in the Turner & Hooch reboot recently.
