American Pie star Jason Biggs has revealed that he turned down the starring role of Ted Mosby in How I Met Your Mother.Ted was eventually played by Josh Radnor in the hit sitcom, which ran for nine seasons between 2005 and 2014.“I was offered the role, yes,” Biggs confirmed while speaking on SiriusXM’s The Covino & Rich Show.“I was offered the role and it’s probably my biggest regret, you know, on passing. I think I was in a phase of, at the time, it sounds so obnoxious to say right now, but at the time it was like, “OK, do I want to do TV?” I don’t know that I was quite ready to go that route.’”‘Big picture, I have no regrets,” Biggs – who played Jim in American Pie and a number of subsequent sequels – added.
