Neil Patrick Harris is a tour de force on stage and screen. He is also hilarious and seems like a genuinely nice guy, which makes his acting that much more enjoyable. Here are the best roles Neil Patrick Harris has ever had.
Neil Patrick Harris voiced the malicious Music Meister in Batman: The Brave and the Bold. His power was his ability to sing so high that his voice hypnotized people and made them dance. Yes, it is a ridiculous premise, but Neil Patrick Harris played the role perfectly. His years of acting in Broadway musicals led up to this point in his career, and it must be said that Neil Patrick Harris has a beautiful singing voice, even if it is being used for evil. Unfortunately he couldn’t hold up against Batman, but he remains one of the more memorable villains that Batman has faced off against.
This is the role that kick-started Neil Patrick Harris’ career. Harris played a child genius who decided that being a surgeon was way better than hanging out at the mall with friends. A little known fact is that Neil Patrick Harris didn’t even have to act for that role, he really was a child genius who knew how to replace heart valves. OK, I made that up, but Harris did a great job playing the smart role while still remaining a lovable child. It was that kind of performance that made him a household name and opened up many doors in his career.
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog was an online show made by Joss Whedon. It was much funnier than most shows you’ll see on TV and gave Neil Patrick Harris another chance to showcase his singing voice. Neil Patrick Harris is absolutely hilarious as Dr. Horrible, an evil scientist who makes death rays to try and kill Captain Hammer. This is mostly because Dr. Horrible is in love with Penny, who is going out with Captain Hammer. It is a very messy love triangle involving mass acts of destruction and a lovely score.
How I Met Your Mother features Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson, an extreme womanizer. This is slightly ironic cosnidering that in real life Neil Patrick Harris is gay. This does not make him any less awesome, and watching his various techniques to pick up women is truly inspiring. Out of all the roles he plays, I enjoy Neil Patrick Harris the most as the party animal type who goes out and has fun. As Barney Stinson he is also full of scathing one-liners which make How I Met Your Mother a more entertaining show.
As I said, I like Neil Patrick Harris’ party animal roles the best. There is no bigger party animal than Neil Patrick Harris being Neil Patrick Harris. Whether he is hallucinating about unicorns, getting shot at by prostitutes, or humping a car seat, Neil Patrick Harris is absolutely hilarious. Nothing compares to his performance where he talks about eating muff burgers and steals Harold’s car. This is quite possibly his best role, not because it is deep and meaningful or anything, but because it always makes me laugh. Neil Patrick Harris knows how to entertain.
