How I Met Your Mother was a sitcom that centered around Ted Mosby rehashing the story of how he met the mother of his two children, while also detailing other significant moments in his life. Combining the wacky hijinks humor of The Office with the friendship dynamic of Friends, HIMYM lasted 9 seasons and was the recipient of countless award nominations. But, what is the cast of the popular sitcom currently up to these days?
The unfortunate passing of the show’s narrator Bob Saget and the controversial finale has left a few less than fond memories of the series in the minds of some fans. However, despite the setbacks, the series is still beloved by fans and hasn't stopped the momentum of the cast’s careers. At any rate, let’s take a look at what the gang from McClaren’s has been up to since the end of the show, shall we?
8 David Henrie
David Henrie played Ted Mosby’s son Luke. Along with sister Penny (played by Lyndsy Fonseca), Luke was featured (primarily) at the beginning of each episode, usually seeming rather uninterested. Appearing on TV as early as 2002, Henrie was featured in dramas such as NCIS and comedies the likes of That’s So Raven before being cast in HIMYM. Post-HIMYM saw the Grown Ups 2 actor continue to pick up projects for film and TV, with his most recent film being the biopic Reagan. Playing the part of the young adult version of the former president, the film is set to debut in 2023 and stars Dennis Quaid as Reagan in his elder years.
