My Take
For most people Josh Radnor will always be Ted Mosby, and carrying that long-winded romantic for nine seasons took genuine stamina. But what interests me more is everything around it. He did not settle for being the face of a hit sitcom; he wrote and directed Happythankyoumoreplease and won the Sundance Audience Award, then kept branching into music and books. That hunger to create rather than just perform tells me a lot about him. Raised in Columbus and trained at Kenyon, he reads as a thoughtful, restless artist, and I find myself quietly rooting for his quieter, post-fame chapters.
