Actor Neil Patrick Harris was honored in Hollywood today with the 2,448th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. As many of you should be well aware, NPH has been in showbiz for a very long time … starting way back in the 80s when he played kid doctor Doogie Howser, M.D. After he enjoyed a short stint on Broadway in Rent, NPH reemerged on the scene in the comedy film Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle … and the rest is history. Neil was joined by his partner and father of his children David Burtka at today’s Walk of Fame ceremony. Click below to see some photos and video from the event.
“How I Met Your Mother” star Neil Patrick Harris is the latest celebrity to get his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Harris received his star Thursday morning in Hollywood. He rose to fame starring as the much- adored “Doogie Howser, M.D.” and currently stars as the womanizing ‘Barney Stinson’ on the hit CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.” Harris’ role as Barney has garnered him four Emmy award nominations, two Golden Globe nods, a People’s Choice Award and a Critics’ Choice Award. The seventh season of “How I Met Your Mother” premieres Monday at 8 pm on CBS 2.
I’ve had the great pleasure of getting to hang out with NPH and David on many occasions and I can assure you, NPH is as cool as you imagine him to be. Neil is so hugely talented that I’m actually amazed that it took this long for him to get this kind of recognition. Let’s send all of our love and congrats to NPH on this accomplishement. It is very well deserved.
