The American Pie star turned down the role of Ted Mosby in How I Met Your Mother, a role that could have made him a TV icon.

American Pie may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it certainly has a lot of appeal. The film series helped launch several actors to fame, with Jason Biggs in particular gaining popularity as the lead star. Starring as the awkward yet lovable Jim Levenstein in the original films, the actor has gone on to star in several notable roles.

While American Pie remains his most famous role, Buggs once revealed that he had a chance to star in one of the biggest sitcoms of all time, How I Met Your Mother. Biggs was offered the role of Ted Mosby and continues to regret turning it down despite loving the role.

Before Josh Radnor became synonymous with the role of Ted Mosby in How I Met Your Mother, it was American Pie star Jason Biggs who was offered the role in the sitcom. Biggs was one of the biggest actors of the time, with his fame with the s*x comedy movies.
