Chris Lowell Cast Alongside Hilary Duff in 'How I Met Your Father'
Will these new cast members be able to fill their predecessors’ shoes?
The creators of the upcoming How I Met Your Mother spinoff series, How I Met Your Father, have added actor Chris Lowell to the cast, per a report from Deadline. He’ll co-star alongside lead actor and show producer Hilary Duff (of Lizzie McGuire and A Cinderella Story fame). Elizabeth Berger and Isaac Aptaker (This is Us) will be taking over as creators, while original HIMYM creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas will be babysitting the brand new baby show as executive producers.
Fans might already be wondering what role Lowell will play in the new ensemble cast. As of right now, he’s signed up to play Jesse, a cynical, edgy Uber driver who doesn’t think much of frivolous love and romance. He’ll be living with a roommate named Tom. There’s no word yet on who will play Tom, or how large of a role he’ll have in the overall storyline.
