Jason Segel joins GQ as he revisits some of the most iconic characters from his career so far: from his breakout role in _Freaks and Geeks_ as Nick Andopolis to fostering the role of Marshall Eriksen for all 9 seasons of _How I Met Your Mother._
“I went from being 24 to 33. I came into that show as a young guy, not really knowing anything,” says Segel as he reflects on his time working _How I Met Your Mother._ “I would be writing a movie whilst shooting _How I Met Your Mother_ and then a hiatus would come and I’d shoot the movie I wrote, and I’d get out of there in time to start the next season!” Watch the full episode of GQ’s Iconic Characters as Jason Segel breaks down his most iconic movie roles.

This one makes me cry every time.

FUN FACT: Marshall's Dad was Patrick Star.
Say deep stuff, we wanna know everything!
My favorite scene is ted talking to the mother under the umbrella.
I realy love Marshal! He is strong and kind and funny. He is manly without bering macho! And before you com play About, My spelling, I am Swedish, like Marshal Eriksson’s ancestors. 🇸🇪😉
I kinda get, why he doesn't want/need memorabilia, but I would have taken 1-2 things anyways, just so that my Kids, and someday, Grandchildren have something to look at, remember (not just the series, but also me and my character IN that series.) 😅
Jason is literally Marshall
Love how he says "my dad" instead of "Marshalls dad"
Haven't seen two Jewish people so upset since Katz deli run out of pickle 🥒
I ugly cried at that scene when i first watched it then called my dad to say i love him.
I still cry every time i watch the rerun.
So that’s why he has the initial look of confusion!
That's the scene you always cry to when re-watching the show. Nothing beats this moment.

That was probably the saddest scene in whole series and very unexpected, I really liked how himym showed different kinds of family relationships and Marshall had very special connection with his father💔💔💔
That moment when he reacted to his dad dying was amazing. At a point where certain things became predictable in the series, that shook me.
Love him.
Reminds me of what Matthew McConaughey said about his most emotional scene in Interstellar. He said something along the lines of, "The first take is real, everything after that is acting"
That who episode is so thoughtfully done, I can’t help but tear up just thinking of it
It’s one of the Most sympathetic moments in the show , really moving
His dad is dad
The whole episode has Easter egg(s) through out. You see random things counting down to 0 and that's when Marshal gets the news!
My dad passed away last August and I, when I was emotionally ready, watched this episode to help me grieve. It helped.
