Theodore Evelyn Mosby is a fictional character and the protagonist in
the U.S. television sitcom How I Met Your Mother, portrayed by Josh
Radnor. Ted also serves as the show's narrator from the future, voiced
by Bob Saget, as he tells his children the "long version" of how he
met their mother.Ted is the central character of the show. Born April
25, 1978, he is from Shaker Heights, Ohio (like show creator Carter
Bays), a graduate of Wesleyan University (like Bays and show
co-creator Craig Thomas), an Eagle Scout, and an architect. There is a
possibility that Ted also continued his education as an architect
somewhere in New York City possibly Columbia University. After his
best friend, Marshall Eriksen (Jason Segel), gets engaged in the pilot
episode, Ted decides to try to find his soulmate. This quest informs
the general direction of the show, along with Ted's relationship with
Marshall, Marshall's wife Lily Aldrin (Alyson Hannigan), Ted's on/off
girlfriend Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders), and his friend Barney
Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris).Ted's character is based largely on the
show's creator, Carter Bays, with the friendship between him and
fellow creator Craig Thomas being the base for the friendship between
Ted and Marshall. His personality is also partially based on Ross
Geller from the NBC sitcom Friends, including Ted's original
profession as an archaeologist being similar to Ross' profession as a
palaeontologist. His profession was later changed to be an architect,
due to the writers having difficulties fitting his profession as an
archaeologist in a New York setting.Ted is prone to questionable
romantic gestures; in the pilot episode, for example, he steals a blue
French horn (nicknamed "The Smurf Penis") that was a topic of
conversation in his first date with Robin, and then scares Robin off
by telling her he is in love with her. In a similar vein, he dresses
up as a "hanging chad" every year for Halloween, in the hopes of
meeting "The Slutty Pumpkin," a woman dressed as a jack-o'-lantern
(complete with strategically placed holes) whom he once met at a
Halloween party. (When he finally meets the woman, however, he
discovers that they have no romantic chemistry whatsoever.) Ted Mosby Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
