As Marshall Eriksen, Jason Segel (40) played in the hearts of all fans of the US sitcom “How I Met Your Mother” (HIMYM). After nine seasons, 2014 was over. Since then, the 40-year-old has only taken on a few roles and his first children’s book, “Nightmares! – The horrors of the night ”, published. Now Jason Segel returns to the series world.
Jason Segel presented “Dispatches from Elsewhere” in Germany at this year’s Berlinale in February. In the US, the episodes began broadcasting on AMC in early March. Sailing is not just one of the main roles. He created the series and also acts as a producer.
The anthology drama focuses on four ordinary people who feel that something is missing in their lives. However, they cannot say exactly what that is. A riddle that is hidden in their daily grind finally brings them together. Through the challenges of the mysterious messages from somewhere, a world full of possibilities and magic opens up before your eyes. Because the secret is hidden even deeper than they imagined.
Jason Segel has top-class support on camera. The main cast includes Oscar winner Sally Field (73, “Norma Rae – A woman is her husband”) as Janice Foster and Oscar-nominated Richard E.
