It's the final season of How I Met Your Mother , so no doubt a lot of guest stars from the past will be popping up. CBS have now announced one such person and it's especially notable because this actor's profile has raised considerably since he was on HIMYM.

Bryan Cranston as How I Met Your Mother's Hammond Druthers (back in Season 2)

That person is Bryan Cranston, who will be returning in a Season 9 episode this fall as Hammond Druthers. Cranston played Druthers in two Season 2 episodes, introduced as Ted's awful, abusive boss. Circumstances resulted in Ted later being Druthers' superior and attempting to fire him, only to learn one awful thing after another going on in Druthers' life - and for Druthers to have a heart attack, which Ted thought he was faking, just as he actually did fire him.Which begs the question, just what will bring Druthers back into Ted's life... and what might he have in store for Ted? A trip to Belize perhaps?When Cranston first guest starred on HIMYM, he was already acclaimed and famous for his role on Malcolm in the Middle. Of course, six years later, he's now received nonstop accolades and awards for his stunning work on Breaking Bad, making him one of the most in-demand actors these days.
