Neil Patrick Harris

Many may know Neil Patrick Harris today for his comedic and sometimes womanizing roles, but during the 1990s, that was not the case. He was perhaps well-known at the time as the titular character in Doogie Howser, M.D. His role as the teenage doctor certainly made a lot love him. Harris, to his credit, has portrayed the surface in a cute yet serious way.

Today, Harris has diverged from his early years. He is perhaps well-known today for his roles as Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother and as a satirized version of himself in the Harold & Kumar series. These womanizing and comedic characters have made Harris wildly popular. In addition, he has made a name for himself as a presenter in various awards shows, including the Tony Awards, the Emmy Awards, and the Oscars in 2015.
