Outside of a cameo on “Family Guy” as his “How I Met Your Mother” character, Marshall Eriksen, and his role in “Despicable Me,” Jason Segel doesn’t have a lot of history in the voice booth. From 2005 to 2014, he portrayed Marshall. Fans fell in love with his eccentric and passionate behavior and, of course, his heartwarming relationship with Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan). Though they have had their ups and downs, they are definitely couple goals, and it’s so sweet to see their story unfold over the course of the series.
His first major role actually came in 1999 in “Freaks and Geeks,” where Segel portrayed Nick Andopolis. Though there was never a second season, the impact the series had on both Segel and the fans — who believe it is worthy of its cult classic status — is awe-inspiring. The actor has called the show one of the best experiences of his life and says it has influenced his future projects (per Entertainment Weekly).
Segel has recently starred in “Shrinking” on Apple TV+ as Jimmy Laird. The series gives audiences a deep look into grief and how it affects a person and those around them, as Jimmy loses his wife and struggles to connect with his daughter. Segel also works alongside the iconic Harrison Ford as his mentor and colleague, Dr. Paul Rhoades.
While Vector may have failed in his quest to take down Gru, Segel continues to thrive, crafting a career filled with creativity, range, and of course, hilarity.
