How I Met Your Mother

About the Show

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER is a comedy about Ted and how he fell in love.

It all started when Ted's best friend, Marshall, dropped the bombshell that he was going to propose to his long-time girlfriend, Lily, a kindergarten teacher. At that moment, Ted realized that he, too, better get a move on if he hopes to find true love.

Helping him in his quest is Barney, a friend with endless, sometimes outrageous opinions, a penchant for suits and a foolproof way to meet women.

When Ted meets Robin, he's sure it's love at first sight, but destiny has something else in store.

The series is narrated through flashbacks from the future.

I have been a fan of this show for a very long time. I have always been compared to ted, I hopeless romantic trying to find his wife. I am 25 years young and love the atmosphere of the show. It would make my life to even just be an extra at the bar. I was a front man in a band for over 5 years so I have plenty of experience in an "acting" or crowd scenario. Part of being a front man is entertaining the crowd and making them believe your music and your passion. I'd love to grab a fake (or real) beer at MacLaren's. It would be LEGAND.....wait for it.

My daughter turns 21 this year (June 26) and she's asking to be an "extra" on her FAVORITE TV SHOW: How I Met Your Mother! She is very talented & has quite a funny personality. She's been in the drama club at school, in many plays & would love to be considered for any spot (however minor). Please comment regarding this request. I am a realist, but she's quite the dreamer! This would make one of her dreams come true! Thanks, a loving mother!

Hello there, my name is Jessica and I'm 14 years old, my dad and I have watched this show since it was aired and we absolutely love it. I think it would be amazing to be in How I Met Your Mother, my desire is to become a main character, but I would be honored to just be an extra, I am 5'8 long dark brown hair and brown eyes, I guess that doesn't mean much too you, but my idea was that Ted bumps into this teenage girl (me hopefully), and all the things she says reminds her of Barney ( like his little catch phrases) and suppose she has a friend and she ( me again hopefully) is all like haaaaave you met______ that is just something can't get out of my head for the past few years, I mean what if Barney found his mini me!? I think that would be cool, well hopefully you will consider, thanks, I mean if you actually read this.

Hi, my name is Margaret and I'm 14. I'm 5"6-5"7-ish. I have dark brown eyes and red hair (I know, weird combination, right?) I love fine arts, I do a lot of charcoal drawings and acrylic paintings, also I play four instruments but I would consider acting. I have been in a couple of school plays. I live in the mid-western United States and I have a big personality once I open up to people. And I absolutely love How I Met Your Mother it's so funny and even though it's been on air for 7 years, it doesn't get old!

Hello everyone! My name is Tiffany and I am 15 years old and 5'3", but I haven't hit my growth spurt yet (keeping my fingers crossed). I LOVE How I Met Your Mother because it was my transition from nick and Disney Channel. Being Asian, my life has been mostly based on academics and dance and sports.so yes, I can dance (ballet) and also sing. :) however, if I can get the start, I would love to consider an acting or modeling career because I love the fine arts. It would also be much more fun than dissecting human bodies. (although I do appreciate all the doctors). I live in CA, and if anyone knows an agency of auditions near me, Plz tell me:). Especially anything in the summer. Maybe even an internship.

If i don't reach my goal in this lifetime maybe one day in heaven i will or maybe wouldn't need to because every one will be satisfied in that place.I am Jarred Alex Wilson and I'm (6.4height)(70lbs)(brown greenish Orange eyes)(white)(red hair)I'm a musician (piano player) hope guys get to read my message or anybody.my passion (Acting and God) Thank You keep well and keep doing what you guys do.

Hey,
I am from a small town but I know comedy. I am also in good shape, I play arena football. Did a lot of improv acting in high school and feel I should follow up that with acting, and what better show than the best comedy series out now? I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Give me a shot, look forward to hearing from you.

Hello,
My name is Perry. I watch every episode of HIMYM. I love it. The reason I enjoy it so much, is because the actors are portrayed at around my age range. I'm 30 years old and have done a few plays/musicals including Lucky, Lucky Hudson and the 12th Street Gang, in that I had multiple parts, Including "The Boss" and "The Warden". I've played Jesus in church plays, and in middle school I played Cybernella...I do not make a pretty girl. But I can do many different parts. Including singing.

Thank you

Hi, I'm Emily Rodriguez and I'm 14 years old. I have school theater experience as well as national forensics placing (basically, a 10 minute memorized play where you play all the characters, at least in my event), but I think I have what it takes to act beyond this scenario. I am a huge fan of HIMYM and love to play lazer tag :). If I were to have a chance to audition for ANY role, that would be LEGEN * wait for it, and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the next half of that word is* DARY!

Hello!
My name is Korlei and I am 14 years old (But i could look 13-15 with the right makeup). I am a girl with brown curly hair, brown (if not black) eyes and naturally tan skin. I am thin and weigh approximately 41 kilos and measure 163cm. I absolutely ADORE How I Met Your Mother. The actors impress me and the scenarios could not be a centimeter better! I would be completely amazed and enchanted if I was asked to play even a minor role in How I Met Your Mother. Acting is my passion as well as film making. I have been making films on my mac with imovie for a few months and starring in my own movies. I really enjoy to act and I am very flexible on the type of character I am asked to play. I am SUPER motivated and could not be more exited!
I do not have much experience, although I did a few weeks in NYFA (New York Film academy) and I am ready to do anything (well just anything ^_^)
I have a strong personality and live to laugh.
Thank you for time
