15 Cameos from How I Met Your Mother that we absolutely loved

Kyle MacLachlan as The Captain

Trending

Kyle MacLachlan, playing George "The Captain" Van Smoot, was equal parts kooky and intimidating. Being Zoey's rich husband, his love of boats and art gave a fresh twist to the show. His talent to oscillate between being charming and menacing kept the gang on their toes, particularly Ted. The Captain's behavior, ranging from the misinterpretation of an eye stare to uncharacteristic acts of kindness, made him such an interesting character. MacLachlan's work transformed what would have been a one-dimensional role into a great highlight of the show's latter seasons.
