‘American Pie’ star Jason Biggs turned down Ted’s role in ‘How I Met Your Mother’

American pie Star Jason Biggs revealed he turned down the lead role of Ted Mosby in How I Met Your Mother.

Ted was ultimately played by Josh Radnor on the hit sitcom, which ran for nine seasons between 2005 and 2014.

“I was offered the role, yes,” Biggs confirmed while speaking on SiriusXM. The Covino & Rich Show.

“I was offered the part and that’s probably my biggest regret, you know, by the way. I think I was in a phase where back then it seems so obnoxious to say now, but back then it was like, “OK, do I want to do TV? I don’t know if I was quite ready to take this route. ”

“Overview, I have no regrets,” Biggs – who played Jim in American pie and a number of subsequent suites – added. “Right? I’m very lucky, very lucky. I’m still here. It’s number one.

“But yes, if I had to choose something that I would have liked to do differently, I would certainly have accepted this concert. Absolutely.”

In other news, Radnor, who played the role of Ted Mosby for all nine seasons of how I Met Your Mother, last year mocked the series that had been going on for nearly a decade when its central premise amounted to 15 minutes.

Radnor shared a photo from a DVD in a since-deleted Instagram post that contained the words: “How I stretched a 15-minute story into nine [Fucking] Ans ”smeared an image of the characters in the series.

Elsewhere, co-star Cobie Smulders – who played Robin Scherbatsky on the series – relaunched his character Robin Sparkles’ alter-ego for a new song “ Stay At Home ” last year during the first lockdown of the coronavirus.
