Today marks the 30th birthday of one of our favourite funny men, Jason Segel. From his starts in the hilarious and endearing short-lived television show FREAKS AND GEEKS to his reinvention of THE MUPPETS and everything in between, we hope Jason has the happiest of birthday because he definitely deserves it!
To celebrate his birthday, here are some fun facts about Jason Segel you may not have known:
- A big fan of the Muppets and all puppets in general, it was a dream come true when the Henson company designed the puppets for his movie, FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL
- He got his role as Marshall Erikson on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER because creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays loved him on FREAKS AND GEEKS
- His acting career began when he went to a fake audition. Turned out the audition was real and the casting agent was the president of Paramount
- He wore a cape underneath all his clothes until he was 12 years old
- He was an accomplished basketball player and in his spare would play the piano.
