Just saw him on a promo for a new show called "How I Met Your Mother" to air on CBS this fall.

I just watched the concert version of Sweeeney Todd on DVD and he was fantastic! I wonder if he'll be in the Broadway version this fall?

He was phenomenal in Assassins too! What a talent!

I still want to see him as Leo Bloom in THE PRODUCERS. Anyone who saw his short-lived sitcom "Stark Raving Mad" (opposite Tony Shaloub) can see he'd be perfect.

Geez, I had (hmm, still have?) a huge crush on him from his Doogie Houser days... had a neighbor that worked on the show with him once and talked about it for years....

Would LOVE to see him on Broadway again, he is VERY talented...

Yes. He is very talented. And almost as impressive as his talent, is the way he broke out of that child star straightjacket.

Yeah, I saw a commercial for it last night. Sadly, it looks like a typical boring CBS sitcom. Hopefully, I will be proven wrong because I love NPH.

I'm excited b/c the show has him and Alyson Hannigan, a combo I never expected to see. My worlds collide.

Let's not forget his excellent work in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle. A+

I LOVE him in Undercover Brother! He's soooooo funny. And I was pleasantly surprised to find out he was so talented when I saw Assassins. I honestly had no idea.

Neil PH is actually in e-town filming a movie with Rob Lowe. One of the newspapers interviewed him, he was at the Grand Prix here:

Neil Patrick Harris, best known for his role as TV's favourite teenaged doctor Doogie Howser, had nothing but praise for our city and its rain-soaked faithful.

"The Edmonton people are so laid back, I must say," said Harris, who's in town shooting a Christmas-themed movie with Rob Lowe. "No fist fights so far, so that's pretty good, right?"

They are actually filming near this abandoned hospital in the heart of downtown and some other locations around the city; historic neighbourhoods. It would be great to catch a glimpse. I'm sure our local news and the CBC might have more on him in the future.

Harold and Kumar was amazing...because of NPH. Does anyone know if there's any type of recording from tick,tick...BOOM! with him in it? And did anyone see it, or read any reviews?

I thought assassins was just incredible and would love to see him in the Todd revival (as well as hugh panaro as well)

Maybe while he is in Canada he and his partner can get married here! NO, NOT as a boost in publicity for the movie! But because they can. It's legal here now.

Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!

I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Last I heard he was with David Burtka, who played Tulsa in the GYPSY revival.

Yes, he and David have been together for quite some time (and as of a couple of months ago, still are). Apparently, David even ushered a couple of nights for Neil's performance in the LA production of "The Paris Letter."

And if you saw The Paris Letter in California, you'd know that God SERIOUSLY blessed Neil...
