A difficult balance. Jason Segel reflected on his attempts to pursue other opportunities while filming the final seasons of How I Met Your Mother — and revealed how his mental health was affected.
“There was a period in my life and career around the last couple of years of How I Met Your Mother where things were firing in both movies and TV, and everyone was telling me how well it was going,” Segel, 43, shared during The Hollywood Reporter’s Comedy Actor Roundtable on Thursday, June 1. “And I was really unhappy.”
The actor, who played Marshall Eriksen in the hit sitcom from 2005 to 2014, said he struggled with not having full control of his career.
“I then had to grapple with why? What’s off about this equation?” he continued. “I think the thing that I was confronted with is that it’s really great to make the decision of ‘F—k it, I do what I want.’ But unfortunately, there’s a system of permission in place where people will go, ‘We don’t give a s—t [what you want to do].’ Like, ‘Good for you, man.'”
How I Met Your Mother followed Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) and his group of friends in New York City as they attempted to find happiness in their personal and professional lives.

The series also starred Segel, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigan and Cristin Milioti
As HIMYM went on to become an award-winning show, Segel explored other projects such as The Muppets, The Five-Year Engagement and This Is 40. According to the comedian, he faced many challenges while trying to branch out on the big screen.

It’s no surprise that Jason Segel hit it off with Ali Wong, given their common backgrounds in comedy. And yet both performers don’t want to be boxed in by humor — they’re contenders in the Emmy race for playing characters who are far from happy-go-lucky.

I started out acting in high school, then comedy found me. I did “How I Met Your Mother” for nine seasons. At 33, that ended. I felt like, “Boy, I used to think I could do anything, and now I just do comedy.” I had this nagging itch — like, “I wonder if I can do other stuff.”

In Apple TV+ series Shrinking, Jason Segel stars as Jimmy Laird, a therapist desperately in need of therapy. Following the death of his wife, Jimmy has dissolved into drugs and self-destruction, to the disgust of his teen daughter (Lukita Maxwell).

Disaster and hilarity ensue. In tandem with Ted Lasso’s Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein, Segel co-created and produces Shrinking.

Jason Segel begins — him beating me to the punch, asking the first question. It perfectly sets the tone. Because like me, he likes his job a lot. “I don’t like the parts of my job that require permission. That’s why I started writing. No one can tell you no, no one can say you can’t,” says Segel. “The best piece of advice I got was to try to remove as many of the systems of permission along the way as you can.” Segel has worked hard to get to this point. Currently, he’s promoting Apple TV+’s “Shrinking,” a dark comedy he leads and co-created with Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein. There’s freedom in working on a project as a co-creator, but that wasn’t always the case.
