After eight seasons of build-up, the namesake "mother" on CBS's How I Met Your Mother was

情態副詞

It was one of the most anticipated moments in TV history, so the absolute perfect actress

The producers somehow found the right woman for the job: a then little-known actress named

Here's what else she's appeared in, both before and after How I Met Your Mother.

Fans of the New York theater scene may recognize Milioti from her stage work.

She's performed steadily both on and off Broadway for more than a decade.

Most notably, when the 2007 indie hit Once was adapted for the theater in 2011 theater,

Milioti played the unnamed female lead, earning a Tony Award nomination for Best Performance

While pursuing a career as a stage actor in New York, Milioti landed roles in some TV

productions based out of the Tri-State area, including The Sopranos.

Toward the end of the HBO mob drama's run, Milioti played Catherine Sacrimoni, daughter

of John Sacrimoni, the ruthless boss of the Lupertazzi crime family.

"You're the one that wanted a big wedding!"

"Catherine, your sister has enough to deal with without the commentary."

Another New York-based TV show that hired Milioti was NBC's 30 Rock.

In 2011, Milioti portrayed a seemingly shallow standup comedian named Abby Flynn who affects

Tina Fey's Liz Lemon hires her to be a writer for TGS with Tracy Jordan after a blog accuses

the sketch comedy show of being misogynistic.

"Lemon, is that the new woman you hired?"

"Is it cold in here, or is it just that I'm not wearing any underwear?"

Milioti has to do some high-wire comic acting—as it turns out, the Abby Flynn act is a ruse;

she's really a comedian named Abby Grossman hiding from a crazed ex-husband.

Stand-up comedian, actor, and writer Mike Birbiglia has presented Sleepwalk With Me

as a one-man show, a book, and, in 2012, a feature film.

In the largely autobiographical dramedy about the comedian's history of severe sleep disorders,

along with his anxieties over his career and romantic life, Milioti portrayed Janet Pandamiglio,

The film was a critical hit and played well on the festival circuit, winning an Audience

Milioti became a full-time cast member of How I Met Your Mother in the fall of 2013,

right around the same time as the release of The Wolf of Wall Street, a darkly comic

biopic about the rise and fall of disgraced stockbroker Jordan Belfort, played by Leonardo

Milioti portrayed Teresa, Jordan's sweet and patient first wife, later abandoned for a

blonde bombshell played by Margot Robbie.

The Garden State native is 100% New Jersey in the role, with an accent as big and bold

Unfortunately, the very nature of her role on How I Met Your Mother meant Milioti was

out of work after the show's final season.

But by fall 2014, Milioti was already starring in another network sitcom.

Something of a successor to How I Met Your Mother with its rom-com sensibility and slow-build

storyline, NBC's A to Z aimed to tell the complete story of a relationship from the

"meet cute" to the "happily ever after" … or the split.

Ben Feldman of Mad Men portrayed Andrew opposite Milioti's Zelda.

Despite some critical praise for the show and the cast, the series didn't attract much

of an audience, and NBC broke up with A to Z after 13 episodes.

Milioti popped up in a small but pivotal role in the second season of FX's Fargo.

Milioti's character is dying of cancer, and her appearance heartbreakingly links the second

In the '70s-set second season, Milioti plays Betsy Solverson, wife of state trooper Lou.

Their daughter, Molly grows up to become a cop, too… as played by Allison Tolman in

In 2015, Milioti scored a recurring role on The Mindy Project.

She played Whitney, a tough-as-nails, workaholic hedge fund manager.

Milioti's character appeared in five episodes, dating one of the doctors in the sitcom's

central medical practice and also becoming a new, if brief, best friend for Mindy.

Whitney is a financial genius who helps the scatterbrained Mindy get her finances in order.

It also turns out that Whitney's a recovering cocaine addict, giving Milioti a chance to

"Five works better for me given my situation and because 5:10 is the 4:20 of cocaine."
