Why Sid From How I Met Your Father Looks So Familiar

Suraj Sharma picked up a supporting role in 2018's "God Friended Me." The series ran on CBS for two seasons, with a total of 42 episodes. Sharma played Rakesh, a close friend of Miles Finer (Brandon Micheal Hall), an atheist who gets a Facebook friend request from God. Miles is prompted to do good deeds and help people he doesn't know, thanks to the direction from the mysterious account. Unfortunately, the series was canceled, with fans of the show never quite finding out who the person, or being, behind the God account was.

When chatting with TV Insider, Sharma discussed what he thought the series was all about. "I think everyone will take away some different. [The show lives in] that space where one begins to understand the commonalities among people whose views are different," he said. "In every episode, we are meeting a new character with a completely different life, completely different story, and throughout the episode, we start to realize there are similarities, there are things that you find familiar in each other no matter what that person's ideology is or where they're from."
