Radnor spent nine seasons as Ted Mosby on How I Met Your Mother, but he built a parallel career as a filmmaker, writing and directing Happythankyoumoreplease, which won the Audience Award at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize. He returned to Sundance in 2012 with Liberal Arts, which he also wrote, directed, and starred in, and has continued working on stage, including a Tony-nominated run in Disgraced on Broadway.
