Before Sheriff Country, Morena Baccarin Played An Important Role On How I Met Your Mother

Before her role as an interim sheriff in Sheriff Country, Morena Baccarin appeared in an episode of How I Met Your Mother. During the show's second season, Marshall Eriksen, played by Jason Segel, was single and looking for love for the first time since college. He met Chloe, a barista played by Baccarin, and they started dating.

However, Barney and Ted, Marshall's friends, warned Marshall that Chloe had "crazy eyes," a sign of mental instability. While the episode portrays this as a female-only condition, it also includes a male equivalent with "jerk nails." Baccarin has rarely spoken about this role, but during a 2014 interview with TVLine, she mentioned that she had never laughed so hard on set and that the gang, including Segel, Neil Patrick Harris, and Alyson Hannigan, were incredibly sweet and nice.

Chloe marked the end of a seven-episode period where Marshall and Lily were both single. Most fans were happy to see them reunite at the end of this episode, although some wished for a longer separation. Chloe is also remembered for accidentally ruining Barney's week by mishearing his name and writing "Swarley" on his coffee cup.
