Neil Patrick Harris

Most of us, especially the younger generations, have known Neil Patrick Harris for his role as Barney Stinson in the hit TV comedy series How I Met Your Mother. His character was so iconic that Barney Stinson stayed in our hearts even years after the show ended. However, How I Met Your Mother wasn’t the first project he got himself cast on. Neil was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to attorney parents, but apparently, he had another career set in his mind.

He started acting in school plays, and at 15, he was cast in Clara’s Heart. A year after that, he got a role in the TV series Doogie Howser, M.D., which ran for four seasons. To this day, Neil continues to appear in different films and TV series. On March 7, 2010, he made an unexpected appearance at the 82nd Academy Awards and published the number of the opening concert.
