April Bowlby is a California-born actress who's well-known for her role as Kandi on ABC's 'Two and a Half Men', and also as Barney Stinson's obsessive ex-girlfriend, Meg, in 'How I Met Your Mother'. Bowlby has appeared in numerous day time TV series like 'CSI', 'Psych' and 'Drop Dead Diva', and with 'Doom Patrol' slated to release this week, the gorgeous actress now has 29 credits under her acting belt.

While Bowlby may have primarily been typecast for most of the roles she's played because of her stunning good looks, this is set to change with her role as Rita Farr in DC's upcoming anti-hero series 'Doom Patrol'.
