Cobie Smulders, as an actress, truly carved out a unique path in Hollywood—one that many can only dream of. Cobie Smulders didn’t just land a role on a wildly popular TV show; she also stepped into the cinematic spotlight with one of the most successful blockbusters ever made. Before acting took center stage, Cobie Smulders began her career as a model, gracefully transitioning into performance at the turn of the millennium. Early on, Cobie Smulders faced some setbacks—joining two promising series, “Special Unit 2” on UPN (2001–02) and ABC’s “Veritas: The Quest” (2003), both of which were unfortunately canceled too soon.
Still, Cobie Smulders kept pushing forward, picking up guest spots on television and landing minor roles in films like “Walking Tall” (2004). While work came in here and there, it wasn’t quite the breakthrough she deserved. That all shifted when Cobie Smulders joined the cast of the hit CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother” (2005–14). Starring alongside Jason Segel, Alyson Hannigan, and Neil Patrick Harris, Cobie Smulders quickly became a fan favorite, bringing depth and charm to her role. The show was both a ratings success and a critical darling, firmly establishing Cobie Smulders as a household name.
Even so, major film roles remained elusive for a time—aside from a quirky comedy like “The Slammin’ Salmon” (2009), her big-screen presence was still growing. Then came the turning point: writer-director Joss Whedon cast Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill in “The Avengers” (2012). The film shattered box office records and launched Cobie Smulders into a new tier of stardom. Her portrayal of the sharp, no-nonsense S.H.I.E.L.D. operative resonated with audiences and opened doors to a slew of high-profile opportunities. With her striking beauty, natural poise, and quiet confidence, Cobie Smulders proved she belonged not just on TV, but on the biggest screens around. As Cobie Smulders continued to shine across genres, it was clear—her future in entertainment was brighter than ever.
When it comes to Cobie Smulders’s film career, one standout performance definitely shines through — her role in The LEGO Movie (2014), which happens to be her highest-rated film to date. Fans and critics alike have praised the movie, and it’s clear that Cobie Smulders brought a lot of charm to the project. On the other hand, looking at the lower end of the spectrum, Safe Haven (2013) stands out as her lowest rated film so far. While Cobie Smulders delivered a solid performance, the movie itself didn’t resonate as strongly with audiences or reviewers. Overall, Cobie Smulders has had a varied career, but it’s The LEGO Movie that truly highlights her strengths as an actress.
