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.
