Hey there, folks. It is Thursday, June 25th. She survived being stabbed 20 times by her ex-boyfriend. She survived and was able to get on the stand and testify against him at his trial. And now her actor ex is going to prison for decades. With that, welcome... to this episode of Amy and TJ Presents Robes' Story. The details, sure, make it newsworthy, but what he did for a living and what particular hit shows he was attached to made the headlines.
Amy Robach 0:44
Absolutely. So we're talking about actor Nick Pasquale. He is best known for a role he had on How I Met Your Mother, a pretty big, massive juggernaut of a show. Yes, that is among his acting credits. But now he is going to prison, possibly for the rest of of his life.
T.J. Holmes 1:06
And can I make sure here, I want to put it in context, this is not some big time or had a major or recurring role in any of these shows, but he made a number of appearances. I just want to put in context. Correct, yes. Because people might be thinking, oh, which one was he? I love that show. You're not going to come up with it, right?
Amy Robach 1:22
Yeah, he's not a household name for sure. He played a guest star role as an architecture student named Will in in how i met your mother so he had a a big a prominent role in an episode of a huge hit show and then he has some other acting credits as well but he was a working actor and if you see his face he actually looks familiar to me it's like one of those guys who you've seen pop up here and there but that was his most notable credit acting credit was how i met your mother
T.J. Holmes 1:52
And his girlfriend was working in Hollywood as well. Absolutely. She was a Hollywood makeup artist. So there you go, folks who are familiar with the industry, get together, not necessarily a surprise kind of a thing, right? So everything sounds like going to plan.
Amy Robach 2:05
Yeah, absolutely. So yes, his girlfriend, Allie Shehorn, I guess I should say former girlfriend, a Hollywood makeup artist, and they had a relationship that turned sour as... Many do.

Who is Nick Pasquale and which acting credits link him to 'How I Met Your Mother'?

Amy Robach 2:20
But he ultimately was charged with and convicted of attempted murder, first degree residential burglary with a basically with a fiance, boyfriend, girlfriend or child's parents. So he got those are serious charges. And he ended up getting 32 years to life for his crimes. So this stabbing took place in 2024. But when you start to hear about what happened, how it happened, it is unfortunately a common tale. Just because you're an actor, just because you're in Hollywood, you're still suffering, I guess, from the same human flaws that have certainly taken down so many others.
T.J. Holmes 3:01
We've seen this story before. We've heard this story before. It's just that the ending was a little different, and she didn't die.
Amy Robach 3:07
Thank God.
T.J. Holmes 3:07
This is one of those stories where there is a record of... abuse in a relationship, and it gets to a point. And it got to that point, and she came within, I shouldn't say within an inch of her life, there was some testimony, or at least the judge was talking about, she technically died twice. Twice. During this attack. So this one is a miracle. She's still around. We have to pay attention to these stories that keep popping up. Didn't we just cover one, the death row inmate in Florida?
Yeah.
Amy Robach 3:40
Told her he was going to come back and kill her.
T.J. Holmes 3:42
And still the police didn't stop him and he killed her. Kind of a thing, right? It's just, we see this happen too much and this is one that did have an ending that didn't end in death, but it's horrific what happened to her.
Amy Robach 3:54
Yeah, and I'm so glad you point that out because these are the types of stories that need to be told, that need to... people need to be reminded of, because historically speaking, law enforcement simply has not done enough to protect women who are saying, I'm in danger, I'm in threat, I have been threatened, and here's the person who's doing it. Domestic violence situations are some of the most dangerous calls that a police officer can go on for obvious reasons, and it's obviously one of the most dangerous situations a woman can face, especially, you've said this plenty of times, when is the most dangerous time for a woman
