I first saw NPH in Dr. Horrible and was hoping that there would be a second season, as not only was he a fantastic singer, but also a brilliant actor, then my friend told me about him and his Legendary role in How I Met Your Mother, so I downloaded series 1, and loved then so I downloaded series 2 and it ended with him saying "It's going to be Legen- wait for it..." then it cut off, and I was annoyed as I don't have series 3 downloaded yet, needless to say it is on it's way, just my internet is slow, I'm hoping it does start with "-Dary" I'm hoping that (1) there will be more Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blogs *Rumours are flying around that there are plans* (2) he does a tour with singing or (3) he gets his own Barney Stinson show. I was shocked to read the other day (I'll hasten to add Shocked but not annoyed, I say fair play to him and I appreciate that he's been able to openly admit it and come out) that he was gay mind you this doesn't change my feelings about him, I still think he is as funny as 2 of my comedy idols (Matthew Perry and Jim Carrey) and wish him all the best in the future and that he carries on going from strength to strength he's started off well "Doogie Howser M.D." to now with his stint in HIMYM and the short-lived but good "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" he is definitely one to look for in the future and the under used talented co-star, let's hope he gets decent work for however long he acts for.

Neil Patrick Harris was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico on June 15th, 1973. He currently plays the role of Barney on How I Met Your Mother. He is working on a new movie called Harold and Kumar go to Amsterdam. The existence of another actor named Neil Harris at the outset of his acting career led Harris to include his middle name in his working name. He is probably best known for his role as Doogie Howser, M.D., although his current (and very contrasting) role in How I Met Your Mother is gaining increasing attention. I give him an 8.4 for his graetness but should have been a bigger star.

This show came at just the right time. The show is funny, yet deals with the real issues of shyness, jealousy, regrets, love, lust and humor. More then this is will show women how the little boy hides in all men and they try to hide behind meaningless sex with women and boost thier manhood with the number of conquest. It also shows that some men cannot make up their mind, just like men say about women. Last but not least, there are men that want a committment and are not interested in the endless parade of women in and out of thier bed, but are very interested in getting married and settling down. This show has mimicked alot of real life issues I have seen in my life and my friends. Just watch it, you will see what I mean and become a fan just like me.

Yes, He was "Doogie Howser M.D." but since than he has been on broadway as a very talented actor recieving amazing reviews. NPH as Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother brings the show to another level/dynamic. The writing for this character is brilliant as well as the fact that NPH plays his character so well making this show delightful to watch. Niel while having almost nothing in common with Barney, is totally believable and funny. His comedic timing and delivery are masterful and continually make the show worth watching. Not all the credit should go to him but he carries more than his weight on this clever, interesting and innovative sitcom. So glad he'll be around for another season. Just waiting for more recognition of this show and NPH in the general public.

Yeah, I loved Doogie Howser! Who didn't? I still calle Neil Patrick Harris "Doogie" because he was so great in that role. I gotta say, he really earned my applause in "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" for his hilarious portrayal of himself. I loved him in that! And he's done very well for himself this year as "Barney." I'm glad he's back in the spotlight!

I love so many of Barney's lines in How I Met Your Mother.
I laugh every episode at a new line that he has. You can just start counting all of the good ones:
"Suit up"
"Flight suit up"
"Penguin Suit up"
"Daddy's Home"
"It's gonna be legendary"
Beyond that, I love his conceited MO when it comes to women. The lemon law was simply the funniest thing I think i've ever seen in a sitcom in reference to dating gone wrong. Easily, this role is going to give Charlie Sheen in Two and a Half Men as the hopeless man's man that is only looking for one thing in women.
In reality though, the character he plays has so much more to him than that.
