Coulier has also served as a guest star on "How I Met Your Mother" on CBS, along with other television and commercial appearances.

Highly regarded for his voice-over talent, Coulier's additional credits include many Saturday morning cartoon favorites. He began by doing voices on "Scooby Doo" and the re-syndicated version of "The Jetsons." Coulier then went on to lend his versatile voice to Jim Henson's multiple Emmy Award-winning animated series, "The Muppet Babies," where he portrayed Animal, Bunsen Honeydew, Waldorf and Statler, and Bean Bunny. Coulier also voiced Peter Venkman for "The Real Ghostbusters" cartoon and the Cartoon Networks' "Robot Chicken and China," among other voice-over credits.

Coulier's performed his clean stand-up on "The Tonight Show," HBO's "Detroit Comedy Jam," and HBO's "Comic Relief" at Radio City Music Hall. Coulier continues to sell out shows at colleges, corporate events, casinos, nightclubs and theaters.
