Actor Josh Radnor has been filming two very different New York based projects; Television Sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" (cleaner and Studio based), and an indie film called "Happythankyoumoreplease". The film is Radnor's debut film which wrote, directed and stars in. He wanted the fim to be more raw and realistic with thrift store clothing and prtrayal of an accurately sized NY appartment. The film opened on Friday in NY and LA.
His two projects have several things in common: young people in search for love, and success. The film is much less comedically toned. Radnor says that he wanted to incorperate things into the movie that wouldnt be covered in the show. In the film, characters tend to find solutions to their problems instead of just feeling like "why-me?". The movie is basically about gratitude.Radnor and his producer consider cynicism to be boring, they want an optimistic twist.
Radnor is characterized as positive and he acctually thinks before he speaks. This is why he was casted as Ted in the show. Josh is very similar to Ted in real life. Josh does not drink coffee or alcohol and has always wanted to live in NY (even though he went to NYU) he now resides in LA.
