Think you know actor Neil Patrick Harris, and he will surprise you. In Doogie Howser, M.D., he played a brilliant teenage doctor who was also faced with the problems of being a normal teenager.  It appeared he would be typecast afterwards as a straight laced teenage star.  But then he starred in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, as a drug-addled, skirt-chasing fiend. It broke the typecast mold and perhaps created another as he now stars in “How I Met Your Mother” as another skirt-chasing fiend. 
Last night at Broadway Backwards III showed, as part of an evening of performances to benefit the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center, Neil Patrick Harris sang a duet with his partner, David Burtka. Don’t have the details yet on their performance but the format is male singers performing songs (show tunes) traditionally sung by women and women singing tunes written for men. Afterwards, Doogie did some dishing about his, minded altered role in the much-anticipated sequel, Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantánamo Bay. “It’s the very next day, so I’m still the same Neil Patrick Harris you saw before,” explained. “I have not attempted rehab. I might have gone on another bender since you’ve seen me. Maybe not on the same drug. Maybe a new drug.”
