Paul and Taran were filming a pilot, and it was Paul who introduced his friend Cobie to Taran. But Mr. Killam quickly forgot about the girl.

Bio

If you have watched the legendary series “How I Met Your Mother”, then you know one of its title characters Robin Scherbatsky, skillfully played by Cobie Smulders.

Like Robin, Cobie comes from Canada, and during her years on the show, she was considered as the unofficial Canadian ambassador. She was educated at Lord Byng Secondary School and dreamed to become a marine biologist, but suddenly she got interested in modeling. The girl moved to New York immediately after graduation from a high school, and during several years modeled for various fashion brands and appeared on the covers of popular issues. After some years in modeling she understood, that it might be not her thing, so she turned her face to acting. One of her first significant roles was in the episode of the series “Smallville”. She also featured in 13 episodes of the TV program “Veritas: The Quest”.

In 2005 she finally met her big break after landing the role of Robin in the long-term series “How I Met Your Mother”. She worked on the show for 9 years, and after its end, her career wasn’t over. She moved on and appeared in the big-screen movie “The Avengers”, in “Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” and recently she has participated in the Netflix show “Friends from College”.


Interesting and fun facts

  1. Cobie is considered rather as a comedy actress, that’s why she was so eager to join The Avengers cast. She didn’t do all the tricks in the movie by herself; still, she had to train a lot to be ready for the role. She hired a coach in Los Angeles to prepare her and they worked out after 8 p.m. when Cobie’s small daughter Shaelyn went to bed.
  2. She considers modeling as a crazy industry and she would never allow her daughter to do this job. She told that models are unprotected, like the actresses, who have the protection of the Actors’ Union. When she was busy at the catwalk, her parents or older sisters always supervised her.
  3. She earned about $225, 000 for each episode of “How I Met Your Mother”. Her net worth is close to $18 million as of now. 
  4. She has two middle names, because that is a normal thing in Europe, especially in Holland, from where her father comes. Each of her siblings has two middle names. 
  5. Her height is 5 ft 8 in and her weight is 141 pounds.
